The mating insects are splattering windshields from Tampa Bay to South Florida in numbers unseen over the last few years.

Understanding the evolution of insect mating behavior is essential for explaining how early insects adapted to life on land. A new study examines Petrobiellus akkesiensis, a rare jumping bristletail, ...

A research team demonstrates that increased levels of ozone resulting from anthropogenic air pollution can degrade insect sex pheromones, which are crucial mating signals, and thus prevent successful ...

A new study on the mating behavior of jumping bristletail (Petrobiellus akkesiensis) reports the first documented case of direct sperm transfer via genital coupling in apterygote hexapods. The study ...

Huge seething masses of insects were found washed up along the shoreline in Caithness over the weekend ...

Few animals can escape the racket that their human neighbours make. Creatures as diverse as frogs, bats and birds, beasts cordoned off in protected areas, and even dolphins venturing too close to ...

In fact, a new Yale study finds that garlic also functions as a de facto birth control for mosquitoes and other winged ...

Do pesticides have anything to do with the decline in bee populations? A research team has now found a connection between fenbuconazole and the insects' mating behavior. Bees are among the most ...

Evolutionary Hypotheses and Tests -- Modes of Reproduction -- Sexual Selection Theory -- Timing of Mate Locating -- Motivation to Copulate -- Competition in the Attraction of Females -- Selection and ...

Insect sexual communication relies to a significant extent on pheromones, chemical attractants that specifically allow males and females of a species to mate. Sex pheromones are distinctive to males ...
