Insect pests cause considerable damage worldwide to plants, buildings and human health.
This review explores how controlling insect adhesion to coatings might mitigate these …

Resilin is a rubber‐like protein found in the exoskeleton of arthropods. It often contributes
large proportions to the material of certain structures in movement systems. Accordingly, the …

In insects, cuticle proteins interact with chitin and chitosan of the exoskeleton forming
crystalline, amorphic or composite material structures. The biochemical and mechanical …

During the process of insect rearing and research, reliable insect escape prevention is
indispensable. However, methods for preventing the escape of small insects, such as ants …

Based on analyses with cryo‐scanning and transmission electron microscopy, the present
study reports on the morphology and ultrastructure of the attachment structures of the green …

The distal parts of the legs of Sceliphron caementarium (Sphecidae) and Formica rufa
(Formicidae) are documented and discussed with respect to phylogenetic and functional …

The present paper characterizes the attachment ability of males and females of Nezara
viridula (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae) on artificial surfaces (smooth hydrophilic, smooth …

Flower surfaces play a key role in the interaction with pollinators acting as signals and
landing sites to attach to. To test attachment, Carniolan honeybees and greenbottle flies …

The legs of the primary larva of Mantispa aphavexelte, parasite in egg sacks of spiders, were
examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), histology and confocal laser scanning …

Pretarsal attachment structures of representatives of the megadiverse D iptera are examined
and documented, mainly using scanning electron microscopy. The focus is on the basal …
