A glob of 99 million-year-old amber has preserved an ancient fly in horror show fashion: with the mushroom-like fruiting body ...

Amidst the insect apocalypse, studies find that organically managed land protects and enhances insect biodiversity.

Durham University researchers discover Youti yuanshi, a fossil revealing the ancient ancestors of insects and their evolution ...

Dalbem RV, Mendonça M S (2006) Diversity of galling arthropods and host plants in a subtropical forest of Porto Alegre, Southern Brazil. Neotrop Entomol 35: 616-624. Diserud O, Ødegaard F (2007) A ...

A rare and stunning discovery in New York State has unveiled a 450-million-year-old fossil that provides valuable insights ...

We tested this potential using a mix of linguistic and biological methods, in analyses of nearly 4,000 haiku that reference arthropods. We documented the taxa and the life history traits represented ...

Unforeseen findings in arthropod biodiversity. During the year-long project, museum staff tallied the arthropods to determine the diversity of groups living in each area.

Diversity and richness have been the most-used parameters, especially when analysing the phylum Arthropoda, or more precisely the class Insecta, due to its high diversity and reproductive capacity ...

Using over 1,200 sequences from a maternally inherited gene for 128 species, the study found that genetic diversity in centipedes is higher than in other arthropods such as spiders and insects.

Species-rich groups such as arthropods are declining dramatically due to the degradation of forests and loss of plant diversity. Most studies of biodiversity–ecosystem functioning (BEF) relationships ...
