Evolutionary genomics of camouflage innovation in the orchid mantis
2023年8月10日 · To unveil the mechanisms of plant-mimicking body coloration and patterns, we performed de novo assembly of two chromosome-level genomes of the orchid mantis and its close relative, the dead leaf...
Petal-shaped femoral lobes facilitate gliding in orchid mantises
2024年1月8日 · Despite a 165-fold increase in body mass throughout ontogeny, older female mantis nymphs maintained a persistent gliding capability. We further showed a notable 40%–56% reduction in wing loading attributed to the positive size allometry of these lobes, indicating a clear promotion of gliding throughout ontogeny.

With winged legs, orchid mantis sets gliding record
2023年11月28日 · The orchid mantis (Hymenopus coronatus) looks so much like a flower that you might be tempted to take a sniff. Now there’s another reason it’s exceptional. Researchers will report tomorrow in Current Biology that the insect’s petal-shaped legs allow it to glide 50% to 200% farther than other invertebrates.
Petal-shaped femoral lobes facilitate gliding in orchid mantises
2024年1月8日 · The femoral lobes of the orchid mantis give this fierce predator a flower-like appearance, but they also assist in gliding, showing that form can match function in more ways than one.
Orchid mantis: Current Biology - Cell Press
