Contribution to the knowledge of the caddisfly fauna of Kosovo with first record of the genus Orthotrichia Eaton, 1873 (Trichoptera, Hydroptilidae) [PDF]
Journal of Insect Biodiversity and Systematics, 2023 Adult caddisflies were collected from the spring area located in the Blinajë Hunting Reserve in Kosovo between May and September 2022. In this study, we identified 21 species belonging to 9 families of caddisflies (Goeridae, Hydropsychidae, Hydroptilidae,

Signatures of Wild Animal Life in Earth's Landscapes
Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.Abstract Animals shape Earth surface processes and landforms by displacing Earth surface materials and by making them more or less susceptible to geophysical processes. Despite increased recognition of the global significance of animal landscape “signatures”, analysis of their magnitude and generality has not been possible until now.

Molecular mechanisms of sex determination in Lepidoptera: current status and perspectives
Insect Science, Volume 33, Issue 2, Page 599-617, April 2026.The genetic basis of sex determination in Lepidoptera was discovered in 2014 in the silkworm Bombyx mori. In this model species, the W chromosome‐derived small piRNA called Fem piRNA downregulates the expression of a Z‐linked gene, Masculinizer (Masc), which leads to the default female‐specific splicing of the doublesex gene (dsxF) and thus to female ...

Revision of the colourful genus Parasetodes McLachlan, 1880 (Trichoptera, Leptoceridae) [PDF]
Opuscula Zoologica Instituti Zoosystematici et Oecologici Universitatis BudapestinensisThe rare and beautifully colourful old-world Parasetodes is a so-called set-aside genus with unsettled taxonomy. For instance, a recent survey (Malicky 2006) has synonymised all the Palaearctic and Oriental species to the type species Parasetodes ...

Methane‐Derived Carbon Contributes to Fish Biomass in a Deep, Eutrophic Reservoir
Freshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 4, April 2026.ABSTRACT Methanotrophic bacteria oxidise large amounts of biogenic methane produced in freshwater and bind the original methane carbon in their biomass. When these bacteria are consumed by other organisms, methane‐derived carbon enters food webs. Methane‐derived carbon can support a substantial part of invertebrate biomass in some freshwater ecosystems.

Trichoptera of northeastern Algeria: New species, noteworthy records, and a review of the genus Hydropsyche (Hydropsychidae) [PDF]
Opuscula Zoologica Instituti Zoosystematici et Oecologici Universitatis BudapestinensisFreshwater biodiversity in the Maghreb region remains largely unexplored, providing significant opportunities for further discovery. Algerian caddisflies have received relatively little attention. The present study aims to fill gaps in caddisfly taxonomy

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.Kaptai Lake is a developing ecosystem with a linear food web and thereby vulnerable to external influences. The apex predator, Catfish (TL‐3.364), occupied the top trophic niches, while the overabundant (B: 3.264 t/km2) Clupeid (TL‐2.56) dominated the lower trophic level in the food web. The higher values of ecotrophic efficiency for most of the groups
