The estimate of 5.5 million species of insects is interesting. What’s even more remarkable is that because scientists have ...

The parasitic wasp’s abdomen boasts a set of flappy paddles lined with thin bristles, resembling “a small bear trap attached ...

"Nothing similar is known from any other insect." Researchers have discovered an extinct parasitic wasp preserved in amber ...

A newly identified parasitic wasp that buzzed and flew among dinosaurs 99 million years ago evolved a bizarre mechanism, ...

When they are not chowing down on body parts, free-ranging dogs forage on nuts, berries, and insects—a portion of which are also hidden in kernels, shells or exoskeletons and require chewing.

A new study, published in BMC Biology, discovered prehistoric wasp preserved in amber is turning heads in the world of ...

Researchers have developed an easy-to-use, publicly available analysis pipeline and inexpensive hardware to record and quantify aggression and courtship behaviors in fruit flies.

It is well understood that insect dehydration can kill quickly, and it was expected that IPM/D5 was acting via a physical mechanism to disrupt the protective waxy coating on the louse exoskeleton.

However, their effect on standing balance in older adults is not well understood. Here, we model the effects ankle exoskeletons have on stability in physics-based models of healthy young and old ...

Insects belong to a phylum called Arthropoda — animals with hard exoskeletons and jointed feet. All insects are arthropods, but not all arthropods are insects.
