Scientists used 3D-printed insect models to study how disguises help harmless species fool predators and survive in the wild.

It's not easy to look at a sea spider and see an animal so representative of its kind that it may help scientists sort out ...

Insects possess a remarkable ability to develop innate immune memory, and the mechanisms underlying this process are becoming a central topic in innate immunity research.

For example, he learned about the social behaviour and evolution of insects in the Social Insects course, while the course Insect Symbioses helped him better understand how insects, plants, fungi and ...

Jim Russell, a professor in Brown’s Department of Earth, Environmental and Planetary Sciences and senior author of the study, said the results raise new questions about the climate history of northern ...

Now, scientists have uncovered two new ancient species from the dinosaur era, beautifully preserved in amber. These fungi were found growing directly from the bodies of their insect victims, offering ...

Detection of insect pests in the agricultural field, which is useful in achieving smart agriculture, has attracted considerable attention. In particular, automatically monitoring the number of crop ...

Raptors such as eagles, hawks and falcons have a reputation for having great vision, and that reputation is well-earned.

For the experimental evolution of the bacteria, some of the red flour beetles were exposed to bacterial substances (“immune priming”), while others were not (control group).
