A New Species of Loxomerus Chaudoir (Coleoptera: Carabidae: Migadopinae) From the Subantarctic Antipodes Islands, New Zealand: Resurgence of a Flightless Beetle Following Mouse Eradication

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 3, September 2026.
Loxomerus antipodes Liebherr and Marris, sp. nov. (Coleoptera: Carabidae), is described from the New Zealand subantarctic Antipodes Islands archipelago. Loxomerus antipodes, sp. nov., was considered conspecific with Loxomerus brevis Blanchard, 1853, from the Auckland Islands, but it is diagnosed from that sister taxon based on numerous anatomical ...

Competition between introduced and native spiders (Araneae: Linyphiidae)

open access: yesBiological Invasions, 2014
The European sheet-web spider Linyphia triangularis (Araneae: Linyphiidae) has become established in Maine, where it often reaches very high densities. Two lines of evidence from previous work suggest that L.

In the Bag: Leaf Litter‐Filled Artificial Cover Objects Reveal Urban Habitat Associations for Predatory Invertebrates (Onychophora: Peripitoides novaezealandiae and Araneae: Uliodon spp.)

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 3, September 2026.
Velvet worms and vagrant spiders are two predatory invertebrate taxa that can occupy urban forests, but understanding their habitat associations in these environments has been hampered by a lack of effective monitoring methods. We assessed how forest age and type affected the numbers of velvet worms and vagrant spiders detected within leaf litter ...

Evolutionary morphology of the male reproductive system, spermatozoa and seminal fluid of spiders (Araneae, Arachnida)--current knowledge and future directions.

open access: yesArthropod structure & development, 2014
The male reproductive system and spermatozoa of spiders are known for their high structural diversity. Spider spermatozoa are flagellate and males transfer them to females in a coiled and encapsulated state using their modified pedipalps.

Ecology and evolution of pyrazines in insects

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1937-1959, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Chemical communication is the oldest and most widespread form of signalling among and within organisms. Among the many compounds involved in such communication, pyrazines – nitrogen‐containing heterocyclic molecules – are especially intriguing due to their widespread occurrence across the tree of life, from bacteria and fungi to insects and ...

Convergent digestive adaptation to resource limitation in an insular lizard across a microgeographic archipelago

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 8, Page 1372-1385, August 2026.
Replicated mainland–islet populations of the Skyros wall lizard reveal consistent divergence in digestive physiology, including gut morphology, passage time, digestive efficiency and enzyme activity. These results show how ecological variation in resource availability can shape digestive performance across populations in insular environments.

Understanding biological control function and trophic interaction dynamics of an artificially released predatory bug by DNA metabarcoding

open access: yesInsect Science, Volume 33, Issue 4, Page 1633-1648, August 2026.
This study investigated the dietary composition of Sycanus bifidus, a generalist predator of the assassin bug that is artificially released into citrus orchards, and uncovered its trophic structure across various pest species using metabarcoding‐based molecular gut content analysis.
