Cephalic anatomy highlights morphological adaptation to underground habitats in a minute lacewing larva of Dilar (Dilaridae) and conflicting phylogenetic signal in Neuroptera
We examined the 1st instar larvae ofDilar montanus in detail and present results of live observations for the first time. The minute, cryptic larvae display features correlated with their underground lifestyle: for instance, a strongly flattened head, stout antennae, eyelessness, and burrowing forelegs. In contrast to molecular data, several characters suggest a ‘dilarid clade’ combining Dilaridae with Mantispoidea, for instance a very thin and curved or reduced tentorial bridge, and an elongated postmentum. We found intrinsic antennal muscles and Johnston's organ, the first record of these structures in holometabolous...

Efficient visual learning by bumble bees in virtual ‐reality conditions: Size does not matter
We studied the visual learning of tethered bumble bees walking stationary on a treadmill and presented with virtual vertical cylinders differing in color and reinforcement type. We show that bumble bees interact with the virtual objects and learn both to choose the rewarded colored cylinder and to avoid the punished one. Size polymorphism did not affect visual learning although it had a mild effect on motor performances. These results thus establish bumble bees as a suitable model for studying visual cognition in controlled virtual-reality environments. AbstractRecent developments allowed establishing virtual-reality (VR) ...

A nonsensory odorant ‐binding protein plays an important role in the larval development and adult mating of Spodoptera frugiperda
In conclusion,OBP27 plays important roles in the larval development and mating process in male adults, and provide new insights in the physiological processes in which OBPs participate. AbstractOdorant-binding proteins (OBPs) play key roles in the perception of semiochemicals in insects. Several OBPs in insect olfactory systems have been functionally characterized, and they provide excellent targets for pest control. The functions of some OBPs that are highly expressed in the nonsensory organs of insects remain unclear. Here, the physiological function of an OBP (OBP27) that was highly expressed in the nonsensory organs of...
