Rhinoceros beetle (Trypoxylus dichotomus) males have pitchfork-shaped head horns, which they use to pry rival males from the trunks of trees. In the largest males these horns can be three times the length of horns in the two closest sister species. B

Japanese rhinoceros beetle (Trypoxylus dichotomus) males have exaggerated head horns that they use as weapons in combat over reproductive opportunities. In these contests, there is an advantage to having a longer horn, and there seems to be little co

Male stag beetles possess colossal mandibles, which they wield in combat to obtain access to females. As with many other sexually selected weapons, males with longer mandibles win more fights. However, variation in the functional morphology of these

Behavioral studies have often examined parental care by measuring phenotypic plasticity of behavior within a species. Phylogenetic studies have compared parental care among species, but only at broad categories (e.g., care vs. no care). Here we provi

Embioptera is a little studied order of widely distributed, but rarely seen, insects. Members of this group, also called embiids or webspinners, all heavily rely on silken tunnels in which they live and reproduce. However, embiids vary in their subst

We examined foraging behavior (microhabitat use and feeding behavior) in a trophically polymorphic cichlid fish, Herichthys minckleyi, to address several questions regarding resource partitioning in this threatened species. These include: (1) do morp

Spiders and their silk are an excellent system for connecting the properties of biological materials to organismal ecology. Orb-weaving spiders spin sticky capture threads that are moderately strong but exceptionally extensible, resulting in fibers t
