Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.Out of 136 identified EPNs, only 18 (8 Steinernema and 6 Heterorhabditis) are commercialised globally, highlighting a major gap between discovery and application. High production costs and inconsistent field efficacy are the leading obstacles to the widespread commercialisation of EPN‐based biocontrol products.

Acta Zoologica, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study investigated shape variations and morphological integration between the components of crusher and cutter claws in two species of swimming crabs, Callinectes danae and Callinectes ornatus. The propodi and dactyli of the claws were analysed in males and females of both species, using geometric morphometric techniques to identify ...

Acta Zoologica, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Weapons are morphological structures used by animals in various contexts, especially in intra‐specific contests and visual displays. In snapping shrimps of the genus Alpheus, particularly the monogamous species Alpheus brasileiro, both sexes bear enlarged chelipeds, potentially conferring advantages in mate competition or territorial defence ...

Acta Zoologica, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The marine shrimp of the genus Typton are widely distributed, known to be associated with sessile organisms such as sponges. Information about this genus is limited, highlighting the scarcity of important features in its biology, including larval forms.

Boreas, EarlyView.This study investigates the species composition and distribution of gallinaceous birds (Galliformes) in the south of eastern Europe, specifically within the territory of present‐day Ukraine, during the Late Pleistocene and Holocene. The research is based on the comprehensive revision of skeletal remains found at archaeological sites.

Cladistics, EarlyView.Abstract Historical biogeography faces a persistent conceptual and methodological dilemma concerning the nature of its central analytical units. Using the recent proposal by Schultz and Cracraft (Cladistics 40, 653) as a catalyst, this article critiques the argument that causal inference necessitates the replacement of areas of endemism with barriers ...

How much biotic nativeness matters across human demographic groups
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Many central concepts of conservation biology—such as nativeness—are structured by ecological and social factors. However, the social consequences of using these concepts to make conservation decisions remain inadequately understood. Some researchers argue that nativeness, rather than acting as an objective proxy for important ecological ...

Representation of obligate groundwater‐dwelling copepod diversity in European protected areas
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Groundwaters sustain diverse surface ecosystems and are populated by metazoan species, mostly invertebrates, that provide fundamental ecological functions and are often of prominent conservation value due to narrow endemism and high phylogenetic rarity.
