Claws that snap: the raptorial mechanism of dryinid wasps

Brendon Elias Boudinot, David Labonte, Adrian A. Smith…·Carly Melissa Tribull

This paper describes the raptorial mechanism of dryinid wasps, showing their claws function as snap traps triggered by prey contact, and explores the evolutionary development of this mechanism.

Programmed cell death and the origin of wing polyphenism in ants: implications for major evolutionary transitions in individuality

Lisa Hanna, Brendon Elias Boudinot, Jürgen Liebig, Ehab Abouheif

The paper investigates the role of programmed cell death (PCD) in the evolution of wing polyphenism and eusociality in ants, showing PCD is involved in wing degeneration in worker larvae across 15 out of 16 tested species.
