Effect of spraying behavior and body size on predators of the big head stick insect Megacrania tsudai (Phasmatodea: Phasmatidae)

Shun Kobayashi et al.

Summary: This study reveals the effect of secondary defenses of Megacrania tsudai. The insect mainly uses cryptic coloration to defend against predators with visual sense, such as diurnal birds, and employs body size and chemical defenses to counter other predators.

Early specializations for mimicry and defense in a Jurassic stick insect

Hongru Yang et al.

Summary: This study reports the earliest mimetic and defensive strategies of a stick insect from the Middle Jurassic of China, shedding light on the evolution of these features in stick insects. The new fossil provides insights into early antipredator defensive strategies and reveals the mimetic and defensive mechanisms of stick insects from 165 million years ago.

The Phasmatodea Population Evolution Algorithm and Its Application in 5G Heterogeneous Network Downlink Power Allocation Problem

Jeng-Shyang Pan et al.

Summary: This paper introduces a new population-based heuristic algorithm called the PPE algorithm, inspired by the evolutionary characteristics of stick insect populations. Experimental results demonstrate that the algorithm shows strong competitiveness on benchmark functions and has achieved certain results in power allocation problems in 5G networks.

Biology and ecology of the Northern walkingstick, Diapheromera femorata (Say) (Phasmatodea: Diapheromerinae): A review

Houping Liu

Summary: The Northern walkingstick is the only economically important stick insect native to the United States, with its nymphs and adults showing different food preferences. Outbreaks have occurred in Michigan, Wisconsin, Arkansas, and Oklahoma in the past, with recent severe damage observed in Arkansas, Maryland, and Pennsylvania.

The mitochondrial genome of Eurycantha calcarata Lucas, 1869 (Phasmatodea: Lonchodinae) and its phylogeny

Ke-Ke Xu et al.

Summary: Lonchodinae, a subfamily of the Phasmatidae family, is rich in insect species with over 330 species across 40 genera. The phylogenetic relationships within Lonchodinae have been debated, but the sequencing of Eurycantha calcarata mitochondrial genome suggests a sister relationship with Phylliinae.

Three Complete Mitochondrial Genomes of Orestes guangxiensis, Peruphasma schultei, and Phryganistria guangxiensis (Insecta: Phasmatodea) and Their Phylogeny

Ke-Ke Xu et al.

Summary: This study sequenced and annotated three complete mitochondrial genomes from stick insects, revealing the phylogenetic relationships, genome structures, and monophyletic relationships of Phasmatodea. After removing Embioptera and Zoraptera species, the monophyly of Phasmatodea was recovered, along with the monophyly of Heteropterygidae.
