Zoraptera, also known as angel insects or ground lice, are tiny termite-like insects generally found underneath bark or in ...

Different insects flap their wings in different manners. Understanding the variations between these modes of flight may help scientists design better and more efficient flying robots in the future.

This Collection supports and amplifies research related to SDG 15. The intricate tapestry of insect evolution has captivated researchers across disciplines, revealing profound insights into the ...

Time travel with insects -- The buggy planet -- Rise of the arthropods -- The Cambrian period, 541-485 million years ago, and the Ordovician period, 485-444 million years ago -- Silurian landfall -- ...

Understanding the evolution of insect mating behavior is essential for explaining how early insects adapted to life on land. A new study examines Petrobiellus akkesiensis, a rare jumping bristletail, ...

A new study on the mating behavior of jumping bristletail (Petrobiellus akkesiensis) reports the first documented case of direct sperm transfer via genital coupling in apterygote hexapods. The study ...
