Incidental Ingestion of Plant‐Dwelling Arthropods by Sheep and Cattle in the Same Habitat

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2025.
In this study, a DNA metabarcoding analysis of fecal samples reveals the frequent incidental ingestion of plant‐dwelling arthropods by sheep and cattle foraging in the same habitat. Sheep and cattle ingest different varieties of arthropods. The incidental ingestion of arthropods by these large herbivores reflects their distinct dietary preferences ...

How Urban-Tolerant Are They? Testing Prey–Capture Behavior of Introduced Jorō Spiders (Trichonephila clavata) Next to Busy Roads

open access: yesArthropoda
An invasive orb-weaving spider from east Asia is now spreading through the southeastern United States; Trichonephila clavata (the “jorō spider”) makes large, imposing webs seemingly everywhere, including in urban landscapes, and even next to busy roads ...

Arthropoda Linnavuori 1978

open access: yes, 2013
Ianeirina Linnavuori, 1978 status nov. Fig. 51 Type genus: Ianeira Linnavuori, 1969. Diagnosis Ianeirina are medium sized to large, ivory to brown leafhoppers. They can be identified by their somewhat long and slender habitus, anterior margin of the head usually with numerous carinae (shagreen and rounded to face in Ianeira), ocelli on the face below ...

Fast‐tracking bespoke DNA reference database generation from museum collections for biomonitoring and conservation

open access: yesMolecular Ecology Resources, Volume 25, Issue 5, July 2025.
Abstract Despite recent advances in high‐throughput DNA sequencing technologies, a lack of locally relevant DNA reference databases limits the potential for DNA‐based monitoring of biodiversity for conservation and biosecurity applications. Museums and national collections represent a compelling source of authoritatively identified genetic material for

An Indo-West Pacific Distribution for the Coral-Dwelling Gall Crab Lithoscaptus doughnut (Decapoda: Cryptochiridae)

open access: yesArthropoda
Coral-dwelling gall crabs (Cryptochiridae) are common inhabitants of scleractinian corals. Several species have been described as new in recent years, including Lithoscaptus doughnut, which was described from Hong Kong based on a single female retrieved ...

Current stewardship practices in invasion biology limit the value and secondary use of genomic data

open access: yesMolecular Ecology Resources, Volume 25, Issue 5, July 2025.
Abstract Invasive species threaten native biota, putting fragile ecosystems at risk and having a large‐scale impact on primary industries. Growing trade networks and the popularity of personal travel make incursions a more frequent risk, one only compounded by global climate change.

On the Identity of Neostenotarsus guianensis (Caporiacco, 1954), with a Redescription of the Holotype Male and the First Records from Guyana (Araneae: Theraphosidae)

open access: yesArthropoda
Herein, we redescribe Neostenotarsus guianensis (Caporiacco, 1954) nearly seven decades after its original description. In the original description of Neostenotarsus scissistylus Tesmoingt & Schmidt, 2002, we found characters incongruent with N ...

Transcriptional response in larvae of the generalist fruit fly Anastrepha obliqua feeding on three different tropical host plants

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 173, Issue 7, Page 708-723, July 2025.
We investigated the molecular basis of host switching by the phytophagous West Indian fruit fly (A. obliqua). Third‐instar larvae showed differential gene expression according to host plants: red mombin, mango, and carambola. The main gene categories differentially expressed were digestion, detoxification, and gene regulators.

The Dynamics of Soil Mesofauna Communities in a Tropical Urban Coastal Wetland: Responses to Spatiotemporal Fluctuations in Phreatic Level and Salinity

open access: yesArthropoda
Coastal wetlands, vital for ecological diversity, have been significantly altered by anthropogenic activities, particularly in the Caribbean. These changes have created a complex mosaic of habitats and physicochemical conditions, further stressed by ...
