A collaborative research group has developed a bio-inspired robotic system based on insect behavior which can locate odor ...

Insects such as bees are crucial pollinators responsible for maintaining biodiversity and food security and have long been a challenge for both existing large-scale tracking methods and ...

While the prospect of fewer mosquitoes buzzing around might be compelling, insects play a crucial role in maintaining our ecosystems and supporting agriculture. Widespread use of insecticides has been ...

Robots that track smells often fail when one of their sensors breaks. Now, researchers ...

“Four minutes is too long.” That’s the note undergraduate Chris Zuo sent me along with photos of countless mosquito bites on ...

Crop farmers, agronomists and others who scout crops for insect injury can gain new insight through the latest version of Field Crop Insects. First published in 2012, the latest edition became ...

Insect feeding behaviour is a complex interplay of anatomical specialisation and physiological processes that enable insects to exploit plant tissues for nutrients. A key tool in deciphering these ...

A meadow grasshopper (Pseudochorthippus parallelus). This species is widespread across most of Europe and is commonly used as a model organism in evolutionary biology. If an experiment is repeated ...

This collection welcomes submissions that deal with advances in all aspects of insect behaviour, from molecular mechanisms to ecological interactions. It is of interest to attract ongoing research on ...

Recent research has revealed a fascinating biological mechanism in fruit flies, where a single protein can drastically alter their feeding behavior, causing them to uncontrollably spill their guts.

Two-hundred-fifty million years ago, an insect got hungry for a midnight snack. It chewed through the wide leaf of a now-extinct gigantopterid plant, sowing rows of rounded punctures. The holes were ...
