Guess what animal group Paul Kalke is presenting on at #Morpho25

The first session of contributed talks at #Morpho25 starts with Conrad Helm and amphinomid fireworm larvae

The first keynote talk at #Morpho25 by Stanislav N. Gorb introduces the wide spectrum of morphological features a #dragonfly uses and that can be informative for #biomimetics

Are some surfaces too slippery for #bedbugs? Learn the answer in our #OpenAccess Editors' Choice article of the new #RESPhysEnt Vol. 50 Issue 1, the first 2025 issue of RES journal Physiological Entomology 👀 https://buff.ly/3WVorlv @wybouw.bsky.social @tbuescher.bsky.social @wiley.com

This issue makes me particularly happy. It not only opens the 50th volume of Physiological #Entomology, but also contains an editorial highlighting the key questions #PhysEnt covers in its mission. It is a great start-up for the 99th year after the first issue and for the 100th anniversary next year
