Sound production by hawkmoth larvae and pupae through abdominal spiracles
ABSTRACTSome insect species produce defensive sounds across developmental stages. To test whether the characteristics, organs and mechanisms of sound production differ across stages within a single species, we examined how larvae and pupae of Phyllosph…

Pressure-induced circumferential and longitudinal deformations of tracheal tubes in the American cockroach
ABSTRACTInsects exchange gases through a complex internal network of tubes known as tracheae, which deliver oxygen directly to tissues and remove carbon dioxide. In some species, these tracheal tubes undergo active compression, periodically collapsing …

An application of finite element analysis predicts unique temperatures and fates for flatback sea turtle embryos
ABSTRACTIncubation temperatures within sea turtle nests are governed by complex abiotic and biotic interactions. Established methods for estimating these temperatures include deploying temperature loggers at standard nest depths or using models to pred…

Mutations in the albinism gene oca2 alter vision-dependent prey capture behavior in the Mexican tetra
ABSTRACTUnderstanding the phenotypic consequences of naturally occurring genetic changes, as well as their impact on fitness, is fundamental to understanding how organisms adapt to an environment. This is critical when genetic variants have pleiotropic…
