wildlife crossing structuregreen infrastructureSummary Animals that lack a backbone are called invertebrates, and they account for 95鈥 99% of the animal species on earth. Invertebrates are important components of ecosystems and play key roles in the functioning of all ecosystems, such as pollination,...
In the last few decades, mounting evidence points to a negative impact of roads on several groups of animals. Most studies on the effects of roads on animal populations concentrate on vertebrates, and only a few on insects. It is difficult to determine the real effects of roads on insects ...
insects play a very unimportant part, and they can scarcely be said now to form part of the diet of the more highly civilized races, notwithstanding an attempt lately made in America so to utilize the masses of the

it must be within the grasping range of the animal’s limbs. Often, however, the goal object must first be reached by locomotion over a certain distance. On the path to such a goal, other objects may be in the way. These must then be identified as obstacles to be able to initiate su...
In fact, there are more species of insects than any other species combined. This surely illustrates that insects have particular selective advantages that allow them to take the most advantage of the environment that they live in. The development of insects was a stamping of authority by animal ...

hierarchies (=pecking order) in both human and animal societies, or one about gift giving and the influence it can buy, or an essay about insects that steal from other insects. Or was this finally going to be the blog post where I could discuss my favorite topic in all of biology: ...
Real animal data on ground reaction forces and kinematics were obtained from a previous study on the leg functions of desert ants Cataglyphis fortis24,25. The motion of the walking ants in an enclosed chamber was captured by a Photron Fastcam SA3 (San Diego, CA, USA) camera at a frequen...
Birth-and-death evolution Genomic evidence supports unequal crossing over as the main mechanism that generates tandem gene duplica- tions of the chemosensory genes; in Drosophila, physi- cally neighbouring members of these families are also phylogenetically related (Guo and Kim, 2007; Nozawa and Nei...
