Protosiphonorhinus patrickmuelleri gen. et sp. nov., the first fossil member of the sucking millipede family Siphonorhinidae (Colobognatha, Siphonophorida) described from Cretaceous Myanmar amber [PDF]
Evolutionary SystematicsMillipedes (Diplopoda) are an abundant group of fossilized terrestrial arthropods throughout the Palaeozoic Era. However, there is a gap in the Mesozoic Period with only slightly more than a dozen fossils known, until more recent fossil records – mainly ...

Disturbance and change in biodiversity [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2010 Understanding how disturbance affects biodiversity is important for both fundamental and applied reasons. Here, I investigate how disturbances with different ecological effects change biodiversity metrics. I define three main types of disturbance effects: D disturbance (shifts in mortality rate), B

New evidence on the identity of the European Helorus species (Hymenoptera, Proctotrupoidea, Heloridae) [PDF]
Biodiversity Data JournalSpecies of Helorus Latreille 1802 are rarely collected endoparasitoids of Chrysopidae larvae (Neuroptera). Previous work on the limits between the European species of this species-poor genus, based on morphology only, has left some uncertainties.

Specialist Birds Replace Generalists in Grassland Remnants as Land Use Change Intensifies
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 The ideal free distribution theory predicts that mobile species distribute themselves among habitat patches so as to optimize their fitness. Changes in land use alter the quality of habitat patches and thereby affect the distribution of species ...
