Insect attachment devices and capabilities have been subject to research efforts for decades, and even though during that time considerable progress h......
Using odors to find food and mates is one of the most ancient and highly conserved behaviors. Arthropods from flies to moths to crabs use broadly simi......

A fateful decision as a 15-year-old high school student, and good advice from a distinguished professor of zoology, were the catalysts that not only d......
The present study tests the hypothesis that the specialized claws with a basal tooth found in some coccinellid beetles represent an adaptation to inte......
Albert S.-H. Feng was an outstanding family man and brilliant scientist, with a creative mind, a gift for dealing with people of all types, and a warm......
The Green Weaver ants, Oecophylla smaragdina are iconic animals known for their extreme cooperative behaviour where they bridge gaps by linking to eac......
