Going silent? Evidence for independent losses of acoustic communication in tree crickets (Insecta, Orthoptera, Grylloidea, Oecanthidae)

open access: yesJournal of Systematics and Evolution, EarlyView.
Our ancestral state reconstruction in tree crickets reveals multiple independent and irreversible losses of sound‐producing and ‐receiving structures, supporting the convergent evolution of the silent phenotype. We demonstrate strong evolutionary integration between forewings and tympana, although the discovery of ‘silent listeners′ and ‘deaf singers ...

Prise en compte de la biodiversité dans la gestion forestière : éléments de méthode

open access: yesSciences, Eaux & Territoires, 2002
Pourquoi se préoccuper de la biodiversité en forêt ? Comment conserver la biodiversité ? Comment passer des principes généraux de conservation à la mise en place de choix techniques sans déboucher sur des recommandations trop théoriques ou mal adaptées ?

Colonisation History of Freshwater Snails Across the Atlantic and Mediterranean Islands: Insights From Mercuria (Littorinimorpha, Hydrobiidae)

open access: yesZoologica Scripta, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Islands harbour unique biodiversity, and depending on their geological origin, they have fundamentally different colonisation histories: continental islands may contain relict faunas shaped by vicariance and sporadic gene flow, whereas oceanic islands must have been colonised across open seas, often through long‐distance dispersal events ...

The Zooplankton International Geospatial dataset: A global repository of spatiotemporal freshwater zooplankton community composition data from lakes and reservoirs to support ecological research

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography Letters, Volume 11, Issue 5, September 2026.
Abstract Zooplankton transfer substantial energy in aquatic food webs and are used as indicators of environmental change. Syntheses of zooplankton community dynamics globally require datasets that span a wide range of environmental gradients; however, these datasets are limited due to methodological differences across programs, taxonomic ...

Comparative evaluation of the attractiveness of new polyethylene screens versus West African tiny target for the control of tsetse flies

open access: yesMedical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 40, Issue 3, Page 489-497, September 2026.
The material has no significant difference in captures (non‐shiny cotton‐polyester screens vs. the shiny polyethylene screens), but the vertical screen attracted significantly more G. tachinoides for each type of material. Full white horizontal screen was significantly lower than the reference WATT.

A roadmap to key traits of invasive Drosophilidae

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1805-1829, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Biological invasions have intensified in recent decades, mostly driven by international trade and travel, raising significant concerns, particularly regarding insect pests. Once non‐native species establish, they can disrupt natural ecosystem stability, undermine agroecosystem sustainability and cause substantial economic losses.

Phytochemical Profiling and Biological Evaluation of Anthyllis henoniana Organs: Integrated In Vitro and Molecular Docking Insights Into Antioxidant, Anti‐Inflammatory, and Cytotoxic Potential

open access: yesChemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 8, August 2026.
Anthyllis henoniana aerial parts were subjected to fractionated extraction. Methanolic fractions yielded high total phenolic and flavonoid contents with strong antiradical (anti‐DPPH) and neuroprotective (anti‐AChE) activities, whereas dichloromethane and cyclohexane fractions demonstrated potent cytotoxicity (anti‐MCF‐7, anti‐HCT‐116) and anti ...

Comparative Neuroanatomy of Hydrothermal Vent Shrimps: Ecological Differentiation Among Four Alvinocaridid Species

open access: yesJournal of Comparative Neurology, Volume 534, Issue 8, August 2026.
Hydrothermal vent shrimps share a conserved brain architecture with enlarged mushroom bodies and terminal medullae, shaped by similar environmental pressures. Despite this similarity, some anatomical features near the brain vary between species, suggesting that some ecological factors, such as microhabitat and trophic strategies, also influence nervous

Departing With the Wind: Spring Migration Timing in Brent Geese From Their Most Important Staging and Wintering Site, the Wadden Sea World Heritage Site

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
The timing of migratory departure reflects a balance between endogenous schedules and transient environmental opportunities. By linking GPS‐derived departure events with hourly atmospheric data, we demonstrate that wind assistance strongly increases departure probability in Brent Geese, while this selectivity weakens over time as migratory urgency ...
