This paper investigates the mechanical mechanisms of beetle horn remodeling during metamorphosis using physical simulations and biological experiments, identifying key factors that drive shape transformation.

This study analyzes the genome, transcriptome, and methylome of Reticulitermes speratus, showing gene duplication contributes to caste-specific functions and social evolution.

This paper presents the de novo genome and transcriptome of the Japanese rhinoceros beetle Trypoxylus dichotomus, providing comprehensive genomic resources for evolutionary and functional studies.

This study identifies genetic factors regulating the depth and 2D pattern of primordial furrows in rhinoceros beetle horns, showing they independently control the final 3D shape.
