Going Out on a Limb: Appendage Length and Function Shape Leg Loss Without Evidence of Autotomy Modulation

open access: yesEthology, EarlyView.
Leg autotomy in the harvestman Jussara sp. is primarily determined by leg identity rather than by the functional consequences of previous leg loss. Although sensory legs II are the most frequently autotomized, individuals do not avoid losing homologous legs or adopting an asymmetric gait.

Regenerative wheat management: The relative effects of farm practices on the biodiversity of invertebrates

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Wheat in North America harbours a diverse insect community (565 morphospecies were identified in this study), and pests represented <7% of specimens collected. Regenerative wheat management promoted insect diversity without increasing pest populations.

Taxonomic and functional patterns of arthropod succession after glacier retreat in the Dolomite Alps

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Arthropod succession after glacier retreat varied among species and forelands in the Dolomites Alps, with community composition shaped by glacier identity, time since deglaciation and local environmental conditions. Functional composition shifted from small, highly dispersive pioneer species to larger, less dispersive taxa, reflecting increasing ...

Integrative transcriptomic and machine learning approaches reveal candidate genes for silk and venom production in Bibionomorpha (Diptera)

open access: yesInsect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
Multi‐species transcriptomics and deep learning identified candidate genes associated with silk and venom production in Bibionomorpha. Venom‐associated genes were enriched in proteases, inhibitors and pore‐forming proteins, whereas silk‐related genes showed chitin‐binding and peritrophin domains. Integrating co‐expression networks, machine learning and

Hydromulches in Organic Strawberry Production: Effects on Densities of Insect Pests and Natural Enemies

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Liquid‐sprayable cellulose hydromulches (HM) are alternatives to plastic polyethylene (PE) mulches for weed suppression in organic agriculture. However, their impact on arthropod pests and natural enemies remains unexplored. Various HMs made of shredded newsprint, water and guar gum were compared against white‐on‐black PE mulch, paper sheet ...

DIVERSITY OF ARTHROPOD PREDATOR IN SWAMP RICE FIELDS IN SOUTH SUMATERA

open access: yesJurnal Hama dan Penyakit Tumbuhan Tropika, 2018
The abundance and diversity of arthropod in agro ecosystem depend on the level of synthetic pesticide contamination.  This study aimed to explore, identify and analyze the diversity and abundance of predatory arthropods in swamp rice fields treated with ...

Distribution of Arboreal Acarofauna in Two Species of Tropical Trees

open access: yesBiotropica, Volume 58, Issue 6, November 2026.
Mite assemblages on tropical trees were structured primarily by vertical microhabitat rather than tree species, forming three distinct clusters from the forest floor to the canopy. Mesostigmata and Prostigmata were more abundant on Haldina cordifolia. Combining substrate washing and Tullgren–Berlese extraction captured complementary species assemblages
