Kobe University researcher has uncovered the purpose of the structure that inspired its name — revealing a novel mechanism by which plants ensure reproduction.

For over half a billion years, evolution has sculpted the nervous systems of bilaterian animals, equipping them with ...

With more than 50,000 described species, the leaf beetle family is distributed worldwide and represents about a quarter of the species diversity of all herbivores.

The evolutionary success of leaf beetles, the most varied herbivores on Earth, was investigated by researchers from the Max ...

Scientists explored the evolutionary success of leaf beetles, the most diverse herbivores on Earth. They showed that symbioses with bacteria have evolved repeatedly and independently in different ...

During this time, he also developed compelling opinions about evolution. He argued, rather heretically, that some instances of insect mimicry did not result from Darwinian survival strategies; that is ...

While not common, bug bites can occasionally cause bruising. This tends to happen with flying insects or those that bury themselves deep in your skin. Bug bites are a fact of life, especially if ...

THE wings of insects are outgrowths of the thorax, quite independent of the limbs. The difficulty of picturing their origin in evolution is that of imagining what selective value they could have ...
