Cinderella Biodiversity: Three Decades of Monitoring Reveal Earlier Emergence and Increasing Abundance in Undervalued and Sparsely Recorded Flying Insects and Ballooning Spiders

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 10, October 2026.
We provide 30 year trends in abundance and phenology for the less well known charismatic flying insects and ballooning spiders that we class as neglected and undervalued ‘Cinderella species’. We show that of the 71 groups studied, the majority of taxa, all trophic groups and nearly all habitat use groups report increasing abundances and stable or ...

Vertical Distribution of Culicoides Biting Midges in Temperate Forests

Diversity
Culicoides biting midges are small dipterous insects known as biological vectors of arboviruses, protozoa, and filaria parasites worldwide. Many studies on Culicoides focus on trapping them at ground level, without considering the best trap heights for ...

Seasonal Dynamics of Non-Biting Midges (Diptera: Chironomidae) and Relevant Environmental Factors

Insects
The family Chironomidae is speciose and is present in almost all freshwater habitats. Adult non-biting midges emerge from waterbodies and swarm in high numbers, occasionally disrupting people’s outdoor activities.

Exploring the diversity of blood-sucking Diptera in caves of Central Africa

Scientific Reports, 2017
Caves house pathogenic microorganisms, some of which are transmitted by blood-sucking arthropods. In Africa, previous studies identified mosquitoes, sand flies and biting midges as the main potential vectors of cave-dwelling pathogens.

Do secretions from the uropygial gland of birds attract biting midges and black flies? [PDF]

, 2011
Bird susceptibility to attacks by blood-sucking flying insects could be influenced by urogypial gland secretions. To determine the effect of these secretions on biting midges and black flies, we set up a series of tests.

The salivary secretome of the biting midge,Culicoides sonorensis

PeerJ, 2014
Culicoides biting midges (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) are hematophagous insects with over 1400 species distributed throughout the world. Many of these species are of particular agricultural importance as primary vectors of bluetongue and Schmallenberg viruses, yet little is known about Culicoides genomics and proteomics.
