Researchers describe, for the first time, the structure of a smell-receptor protein common among insects. Its inner architecture illuminates how insects evolved to detect an amazing diversity of odors ...

Researchers have discovered a rule to predict an arthropod community structure based on the genomic variation in a foundation tree species. Generally, spatial and temporal factors affect how ...

Researchers have used micro CT scanners to capture detailed images of insect specimens. These X-ray scans allow the study of shape and structure of insects ...

Many tropical insects are already close to their heat tolerance limits, raising concerns that rising temperatures could disrupt ecosystems.

Most of the volume of epithelial cell bodies containing nuclei are aligned as a monolayer on the apical (upper) side. They extend pillarlike cell processes in a basal (downward) direction. At the ...

Even at levels safe for humans, air pollution can disrupt the way some insects communicate with plants, and with each other.
