Description of Austrocelis gen. nov. (Diptera: Periscelididae), including the description of eight new species and the diversity and abundance of the species in different strata of the Amazon Rainforest

open access: yesAustral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 2, May 2026.
Abstract Austrocelis gen. nov. is described based on the following characters: maxillary palpus short and spatulate; setae of the head elongate; face protrudent, with the dorsal portion flattened and oblique, and ventral portion shorter and recessed towards the mouth opening; wing banded, with setae present on dorsal surface of vein R1; surstylus ...

Systematics of the New World Rostrate Genus Metaxyphloeus Thomas, 1984 (Coleoptera: Laemophloeidae): Morphological Evidence for Monophyly Supporting a Broader Generic Concept

open access: yesAustral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 2, May 2026.
ABSTRACT A morphology‐based MP analysis is undertaken to test the monophyly of the lined flat bark beetle genus Metaxyphloeus Thomas, 1984, as well as to hypothesize its intra‐ and intergeneric evolutionary relationships. Based on the results of the present work, Metaxyphloeus, as currently composed, is hypothesized as a monophyletic assemblage of ...

Stemflow Dynamics in the Jamari National Forest (Brazilian Amazon): I. The Role of Tree Structure

open access: yesBiotropica, Volume 58, Issue 3, May 2026.
A portion of rainfall that contacts tree canopies is drained down tree stems as stemflow. Stemflow is an underexamined component of rainfall partitioning in tropical forests. To investigate how tree canopy structural attributes influence stemflow in the Brazilian Amazon, we measured stemflow, rainfall, and dendrometric parameters of 56 trees in the ...

The Flooding Gradient Affects Seed Dispersal by Fruit‐Eating Fishes in Amazonian Whitewater Floodplain Forests

open access: yesBiotropica, Volume 58, Issue 3, May 2026.
This research approaches the interaction between frugivorous fish and the flooded forests in the central Amazon. We evaluated the fruit consumption by fish and the seed dispersal potential along the flood gradient. We tested the hypothesis that the role of fish as seed dispersers varies between low várzea (LV) and high várzea (HV) forests.

Shifting Trends in Tropical Ecology Research Over Six Decades

open access: yesBiotropica, Volume 58, Issue 3, May 2026.
We analyzed over 170,000 tropical ecology publications (1960–2023) using a large language model to extract study location and biome information at scale. We show that research has grown across all biomes but is increasingly dominated by forests, with grassy ecosystems declining in relative representation and strong geographic concentration in a small ...
