The dynamic eggs of the Phasmatodea and their apparent convergence with plants
TLDR
An initial synthesis of available evidence surrounding the ecology and dispersal strategies of phasmid eggs is presented and the evidence for convergent evolution between phasmatodea eggs and seeds is weighed.
HREM, RNAseq and Cell Cycle Analyses Reveal the Role of the G2/M-Regulatory Protein, WEE1, on the Survivability of Chicken Embryos during Diapause
TLDR
A novel mechanism that regulates the ability of diapaused avian embryos to maintain their cytoarchitecture via cell cycle arrest, which enables their SRD is presented.
Age and Appearance Shape Behavioral Responses of Phasmids in a Dynamic Environment
TLDR
A novel investigation into adaptive resemblance strategies of phasmids through the interaction of behavior and morphology is provided, and the importance of considering the effects of dynamic environments on sending and receiving cues is highlighted.
Outbreak of the stick insect, Ramulus mikado (Phasmatodea, Phasmatidae), in the Akashina area of Japan (Azumino City, Nagano Prefecture)
TLDR
In August 2017, an outbreak of the stick insect, Ramulus mikado, was observed in the Akashina area in Central Japan, and one individual of the 724 specimens collected was in fact a male, indicating that they reproduce parthenogenetically.
Morphology and Bayesian tip-dating recover deep Cretaceous-age divergences among major chrysidid lineages (Hymenoptera: Chrysididae)
TLDR
The results reveal an intricate process on the geographic evolution of chrysidid wasps and dispute previous ideas that Cretaceous-old splits in their early history could be associated with vicariant events related to the breakup between Africa and South America.
Multifunctional Adhesives on the Eggs of the Leaf Insect Phyllium philippinicum (Phasmatodea: Phylliidae): Solvent Influence and Biomimetic Implications
TLDR
To evaluate functional aspects of the glue–solvent interaction, the effects of a broad array of chemical solvents on the glue activation and measured corresponding adhesive forces were tested.
Phylomitogenomics provide new perspectives on the Euphasmatodea radiation (Insecta: Phasmatodea).
Adhesion Performance in the Eggs of the Philippine Leaf Insect Phyllium philippinicum (Phasmatodea: Phylliidae)
TLDR
The specialized attachment mechanism of the eggs of this species is elucidated and the first experimental approach to systematically characterize the functional properties of their adhesion by using different microscopy techniques and attachment force measurements on substrates with differing degrees of roughness and surface chemistry, as well as repetitive attachment/detachment cycles while under the influence of water contact.
Unexpectedly long survivorship on seawater of multiple coastal beetles indicates the possibility of “floating dispersal” for transoceanic migration
TLDR
This work proposes the hypothesis of “floating dispersal,” where individuals simply float on the sea surface and cross the ocean with currents, which can provide a novel explanation of transoceanic migration/distribution of flightless animals.
Old World and New World Phasmatodea: Phylogenomics Resolve the Evolutionary History of Stick and Leaf Insects
TLDR
The results suggest that the extant distribution of Phasmatodea is largely the result of dispersal events in a recently and rapidly diversified insect lineage rather than the resultof vicariant processes.

Capitula on stick insect eggs and elaiosomes on seeds : convergent adaptations for burial by ants
TLDR
It is shown that capitula and elaiosomes are convergent in function as well as in appearance, and both promote removal of eggs to ant nests and buried eggs suffer reduced rates of parasitism by wasps.
Biology and Ecology of the Phasmatodea
Phasmid Eggs Do Not Survive Digestion by Quails and Chickens
TLDR
This experiment tests the hypothesis that granivorous birds can act as dispersal agents for phasmid eggs, and suggests that these bird species could not disperse phasmatodea eggs.
Significance of Parthenogenesis in the Evolution of Insects
Autumn migration of the brown-eared Bulbul Hypsipetes amaurotis in Kanto district, Japan Analysis of the data recorded by Saito 1935-1943
TLDR
Even though part of the H. amaurotis population has begun to breed in the plain regions in west-southern districts in Japan over the past 70 years, the migration status has remained unchanged and the values obtained at Chiba City c.
A Review of Literature on Calcium and Magnesium in Insects
TLDR
The purpose of this paper is to present a review of the literature on calcium and magnesium in the diet, physiological function, and intermediary metabolism of insects.
Comparing entire colour patterns as birds see them
TLDR
This work presents a new statistical method to compare entire colour patterns rather than comparing multiple pairs of patches, and presents tests of the method's ability to detect a variety of kinds of differences between natural colour patterns.

TLDR
The axial orientation of the eggs is not in accord with ‘Hallez9s law’, as the dorsal and ventral sides of the egg and of the early embryo are diametrically opposite to those of the mother.
Flying shells: historical dispersal of marine snails across Central America
TLDR
The geographical distribution of haplotypes and published field evidence suggest that migratory shorebirds transported the snails across Central America at the Isthmus of Tehuantepec in southern Mexico, suggesting the Central American IsthMus may not be as impassable for marine species as previously assumed.
