The finding that flies can smell motion could influence public health, agriculture, and even the development of robots, say researchers.

Queen and king termites are fantastic parents to upstart colonies. But only until their offspring can take over.

The same math that explains the synchronization of pendulum clocks and clapping audiences also clarifies how fireflies coordinate light shows.

Ants go through both physiological and behavioral changes to adjust to unnatural settings like urban sprawl, a new study shows.

Brown marmorated stink bugs, foul-smelling, voracious, wide-spread pests, could become even more ubiquitous with climate change.

Researchers investigated termites' discovery and decay of wood at more than 130 sites in a variety of habitats across six continents.

Soil temperature indicates where the corn earworm can survive the winter. The finding could help farmers control the ravaging pests more effectively.

Biodiversity is critical to ecosystems, according to a new study that shows how different bee species pollinate the same plants over time.

Queen ants live a lot longer than workers. A new study indicates that protein that suppresses insulin plays a role in their longevity.

"In a way, just like our cities, termite colonies are resilient and change over generations. So as each city is unique, each termite colony is just as unique."
