Plant extracts have recently captivated scientists' attention as a potential source of biocide
for plant protection. This is due to the health and environmental risks associated with the …

A brief account of the history of insect morphology is given. Different techniques and
analytical methods used in current projects on insect morphology and phylogeny and their …

What is soil biodiversity? How does it vary in space and time? What does it provide to
society? What are the main threats to soil biodiversity? What can we do to preserve it? The …

Hemipteroid insects (Paraneoptera), with over 10% of all known insect diversity, are a major
component of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Previous phylogenetic analyses have not …

Insects are the most speciose group of animals, but the phylogenetic relationships of many
major lineages remain unresolved. We inferred the phylogeny of insects from 1478 protein …

Polyneoptera represents one of the major lineages of winged insects, comprising around
40,000 extant species in 10 traditional orders, including grasshoppers, roaches, and …

Abstract Background Transposable elements (TEs) are a major component of metazoan
genomes and are associated with a variety of mechanisms that shape genome architecture …

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 …

Phasmatodea comprises over 3,000 extant species and stands out as one of the last
remaining insect orders for which a robust, higher-level phylogenetic hypothesis is lacking …

This paper outlines and discusses the fossil record of the Hemiptera–the fifth most diverse
insect order. The diversity of these insects in comparison with the “Big Four” group is given …
