This paper describes for the first time the organization and fine structure of the brain in the
smallest free-living insects Acrotrichis grandicollis, Micado sp., and Nanosella sp.(Ptiliidae …

The organization and fine structure of the brain in the smallest parasitic wasps, Anaphes
flavipes and Trichogramma evanescens, were studied using serial histological sections as …

The third communication in this series describes the structure of the brain in one of the
smallest psocopterans, Liposcelis bostrychophila (Liposcelididae), studied in a series of …

This article describes the morphology and ultrastructure of the brain of the greenhouse
thrips, Heliothrips haemorrhoidalis (Thripidae), studied in a series of histological sections …

The brain and suboesophageal complex of adult and larval Strepsiptera were examined,
described and reconstructed 3-dimensionally. The results are compared to conditions found …

The body size, especially in cases of extreme reduction, is an important characteristic that
strongly determines the morphology, physiology, and biology of animals. Miniaturization is a …

Revealing the effect of brain size on the cognitive abilities of animals is a major challenge in
the study of brain evolution. Analysis of the effects of miniaturization on brain function in the …

The internal structure of Nanosella sp., Primorskella sp., and Porophila sp. was described
from serial sections and total preparations using light and transmission electron microscopy …

Miniaturization leads to considerable reorganization of structures in insects, affecting almost
all organs and tissues. In the smallest insects, comparable in size to unicellular organisms …

We present the first morphological study of larvae and adults of Mikado sp.–one of the
smallest known beetles and free-living insects (body length of adult is 390–455μm) …
