The detrimental effects of plastics on aquatic organisms, including those of macroplastics,
microplastics, and nanoplastics, have been well established. However, knowledge on the …

This study focuses on interacting with insects and their ectosymbiont (lato sensu)
microorganisms for environmentally safe plant production and protection. Some cases help …

Beetles constitute the most biodiverse animal order with over 380 000 described species
and possibly several million more yet unnamed. Recent phylogenomic studies have arrived …

The evolution of eusociality has allowed ants to become one of the most conspicuous and
ecologically dominant groups of organisms in the world. A large majority of the current∼ …

Insects represent the most diverse animal group, yet previous phylogenetic analyses based
on morphological and molecular data have failed to agree on the evolutionary relationships …

Ants are the most ubiquitous and ecologically dominant arthropods on Earth, and
understanding their phylogeny is crucial for deciphering their character evolution, species …

The evolutionary relationships between ecology, cognition, and neurobiology remain
elusive, despite important contributions from functional studies and comparative analyses …

Abstract According to the United Nations, more than 800 million people are exposed to
starvation. It is predicted that the world population will face much more serious starvation for …

An open process of evolution of multicellular organisms is based on the rearrangement and
growth of the program of differentiation that underlies biological morphogenesis. The …

While some relationships in phylogenomic studies have remained stable since the Sanger
sequencing era, many challenging nodes remain, even with genome-scale data …
