Intrasexual cuticular hydrocarbon dimorphism in a wasp sheds light on hydrocarbon biosynthesis genes in Hymenoptera

Communications Biology, 2023
Transcriptomic and molecular analyses on Hymenoptera facilitated identification of cuticular hydrocarbon (CHC) pathway genes, whose phylogenetic distribution implies that the origin of CHC biosynthesis predates the arthropods’ colonization of land.

Landscape-scale forest loss as a catalyst of population and biodiversity change

Science, 2020
Land-use change and forest biodiversity Land-use change by humans, particularly forest loss, is influencing Earth's biodiversity through time. To assess the influence of forest loss on population and biodiversity change, Daskalova et al.

Extracting specimen label data rapidly with a smartphone—a great help for simple digitization in taxonomy and collection management [PDF]

ZooKeys
We provide short tutorials in how to read out specimen label data from type- as well as handwritten labels in a rapid and easy way with a mobile phone. We apply them in general, but test them in particular for insect specimen labels, which are generally ...

Occupancy of the Ethiopian endemic Moorland Francolin in pristine and degraded Afroalpine biome using a camera trap approach

Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Occupancy modeling is an essential tool for understanding species‐habitat associations, thereby helping to plan the conservation of rare and threatened wildlife species.

Global congruence of carbon storage and biodiversity in terrestrial ecosystems [PDF]

, 2009
Deforestation is a main driver of climate change and biodiversity loss. An incentive mechanism to reduce emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD) is being negotiated under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.

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

A landmark‐free analysis of the pelvic girdle in Sulawesi ricefishes (Adrianichthyidae): How 2D and 3D geometric morphometrics can complement each other in the analysis of a complex structure

Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Geometric morphometrics (GM) enable the quantification of morphological variation on various scales. Recent technical advances allow analyzing complex three‐dimensional shapes also in cases where landmark‐based approaches are not appropriate.

Integrative characterisation of the Northwestern European species of Anacharis Dalman, 1823 (Hymenoptera, Cynipoidea, Figitidae) with the description of three new species [PDF]

Journal of Hymenoptera Research
The genus Anacharis Dalman, 1823 comprises parasitoid wasps that target early instars of brown lacewing larvae (Neuroptera: Hemerobiidae). So far, five species were recognised from the Western Palaearctic region, of which four are reported from ...

Island time and the interplay between ecology and evolution in species diversification. [PDF]

, 2015
Research on the dynamics of biodiversity has progressed tremendously over recent years, although in two separate directions - ecological, to determine change over space at a given time, and evolutionary, to understand change over time.
