Quick Take Scientists used a powerful synchrotron X-ray system, robotics, and AI to scan 2,000 ant specimens in just one week ...

Generally, spatial and temporal factors affect how communities of organisms are shaped in an ecosystem. Understanding the structure of associated communities is essential for ensuring biodiversity.

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 ...

Physiological and Biochemical Zoology: Ecological and Evolutionary Approaches, Vol. 79, No. 2 (March/April 2006), pp. 344-356 (13 pages) Abstract Chemical communication is virtually universal among ...

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 ...

Discover why tiny Amazon insects are so vulnerable to heat and what their decline could mean for forests, wildlife, and people.

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 ...

The mosquito, sworn enemy of exposed ankles and elbows, locates each bloody meal using a finely tuned sense of smell. Yet, not all insects can sniff out vulnerable flesh. Butterflies, for example, ...
