Welcome to the New World Phasmids blog, your primary source for in-depth exploration of the fascinating world of phasmids (stick insects). Here, we will focus on sharing discoveries, research, and curiosities about these extraordinary insects, from their biology and behavior to their taxonomy and conservation.
While our main focus will be phasmids, we will occasionally also explore topics in entomology and taxonomy that are directly relevant to a better understanding of this group. This may include classification techniques, phylogeny, insect ecology, and other related subjects that help to contextualize the importance and uniqueness of phasmids.
Challenging the law of evolutionary irreversibility: the complex history of wings in phasmid
Explore how fossils, genetic studies, and phylogenetic debates have revealed recurrent losses and possible recoveries of wings in phasmids.
