Salvinia weevil, Cyrtobagous salviniae (Calder & Sands) (Insecta: Coleoptera: Curculionidae)

open access: yesEDIS, 2019
The salvinia weevil, Cyrtobagous salviniae (Calder & Sands) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) (Figure 1), is a subaquatic (underwater) herbivorous insect native to Brazil (Calder and Sands 1985).

Tell me where you flow and I will tell you who you are: basin context shapes the insect fauna of small tributaries

open access: yesOikos, Volume 2026, Issue 8, August 2026.
The traditional view of river basins as linear corridors has led to numerous studies examining the effects of stream size on aquatic communities. However, similar‐sized streams may harbor distinct faunal assemblages depending on their spatial context within the basin. Headwater tributaries (HTs) that flow into small streams, in the periphery of basins,

Prospects for Complete DNA Barcode Coverage of the New Zealand Insect Fauna

open access: yesJournal of the Royal Society of New Zealand, Volume 56, Issue 4, August 2026.
The accurate identification of insects supports conservation, biosecurity and ecological monitoring. However, morphological identification is constrained by taxonomic complexity, undescribed diversity, and limited expertise. DNA barcoding can alleviate some of these challenges and complement morphological identification, if reference data are ...

Plant Traits and Reproduction in a Multitrophic System: The Role of Aphids, Parasitoids and Hyperparasitoids

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 8, Page 822-830, August 2026.
This field mesocosm study examined the top‐down effects of hyperparasitoids, parasitoids and aphids on plant growth and fitness. Parasitoids reduced aphid populations, but this effect was attenuated by hyperparasitoids. However, these multitrophic interactions did not affect plant traits and reproduction, likely due to the plant's fast life cycle and ...

Study on the Fauna of Aquatic Insects in Northwestern Iran

open access: yesJournal of Arthropod-Borne Diseases, 2019
Background: Aquatic insects include groups of arthropods which at least one step of their life happens in water. Some of these insects play an important role in the transmission of various diseases to human and animals.

An experimental examination of dispersal decisions made by flight‐capable heteropteran insects in urban stormwater pond conditions

open access: yesEcological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 4, Page 672-689, August 2026.
Salty conditions in urban stormwater ponds can influence dispersal timing in species‐specific ways for actively dispersing aquatic heteropteran insects. Assaying multiple aspects of dispersal propensity, Hesperocorixa obliqua emigrated earlier in stormwater pond conditions while overall probabilities remained unchanged; Notonecta undulata emigration ...

Nest boxes as microhabitats supporting diverse arthropod communities

open access: yesEcological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 4, Page 832-837, August 2026.
Diverse Micro‐Habitats: Nest boxes supported 3634 arthropods from 82 families, highlighting their significant conservation value as artificial micro‐habitats for diverse invertebrate communities beyond their primary use for birds. Occupancy Boosts Diversity: Occupied nests exhibited significantly higher arthropod richness, abundance and Shannon ...
