A little leg may reveal something big about how closely related insect species can drastically differ in body shape, according to a new study. The team imaged live cells of fruit flies in the last ...

Concern about insect losses has grown steadily, but most evidence comes from small studies focused on certain species or places. That makes it hard to understand what is happening at larger scales. A ...

A parasitic worm uses static electricity to launch itself onto flying insects, a mechanism uncovered by physicists and biologists at Emory and Berkeley. By generating opposite charges, the worm and ...

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 ...

Rather than revealing a nationwide collapse, the results show that overall numbers of day-flying insects in the air remained broadly stable between 2012 and 2021. That stability, however, masks sharp ...
