Patterns of aerial arthropod biomass and diversity from three regions of boreal Alaska
Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 17, Issue 5, Page 826-855, September 2024.We documented aerial arthropod biomass and diversity over 4 years in three regions in boreal Alaska—two in central Alaska and one in southcentral Alaska. Traps yielded 115,078 specimens of 15 orders and 692 unique taxa. Mean aerial arthropod biomass was more than three times higher in Fairbanks than in Anchorage.

Entomological Research, Volume 54, Issue 8, August 2024.Abstract Dung beetles are considered a key element in ecosystems as they are involved in many ecological processes, being one of the main decomposers of organic matter in the landscape. They can be classified into 3 subfamilies: Aphodiinae, Geotrupinae and Scarabaeinae, with each subfamily exhibiting specific adaptations and evolutionary strategies ...

Ecology, Volume 105, Issue 1, January 2024.Abstract In the midst of an ongoing biodiversity crisis, much research has focused on species losses and their impacts on ecosystem functioning. The functional consequences (ecosystem response) of shifts in communities are shaped not only by changes in species richness, but also by compositional shifts that result from species losses and gains. Species

Comparative morphology and evolutionary implications of larval mouthparts in ten lineages of Scarabaeoidea (Coleoptera) [PDF]
Arthropod Systematics & PhylogenyLarvae of the megadiverse Scarabaeoidea play important economic and ecological roles, and their mouthparts provide valuable morphological clues for species identification and dietary inference.

Origin and Diversification of Dung Beetles in Madagascar
Insects, 2011 Madagascar has a rich fauna of dung beetles (Scarabaeinae and Aphodiinae) withalmost 300 species described to date. Like most other taxa in Madagascar, dung beetles exhibit an exceptionally high level of endemism (96% of the species).
