A curious case: caddisfly cases built from brick and sewage overflow microplastics

Journal of Limnology
Caddisflies larvae have been constructing cases made from vegetation or sediment grains for millions of years, but in the Anthropocene many alternative building materials have become available for caddisfly larvae.

The caddis aren’t alright: modeling Trichoptera richness in streams of the northcentral United States reveals substantial species losses

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Despite the importance of caddisflies in aquatic ecosystems, few studies have assessed the most important variables affecting their species richness throughout a large region or attempted to model such richness throughout the region.

A new species of Amphoropsyche (Trichoptera, Leptoceridae) from Ecuador, with a key to the species in the genus

ZooKeys, 2011
A new species of Amphoropsyche Holzenthal is described from Ecuador. It is similar to a group of species with dorsomesal processes on the preanal appendages (i.e., A. woodruffi Flint & Sykora, A. refugia Holzenthal, and A. aragua Holzenthal), but can

Trichoptera agrophiles: characterizing the adult caddisfly assemblages of agricultural streams in the northcentral United States

Journal of Freshwater Ecology
While most caddisfly species are indicative of undisturbed river systems, some species may instead increase in abundance due to agricultural disturbance. The purpose of this study was to characterize agricultural caddisfly assemblages of the northcentral

Consistent Choice of Prey Source Habitat Across Diverse Landscapes by a Selective Insectivorous Bat

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
After analyzing the diet of the greater horseshoe bats in three distinct colonies, we identified significant spatial and temporal differences, particularly noting a stronger reliance on riparian habitats in Mediterranean areas. The species exhibits great ecological adaptability with strong plasticity in prey source habitats, shifting preferences among ...

Characterization of the complete mitochondrial genome of Stenopsyche angustata (Trichoptera, Stenopsychidae)

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2020
Caddisflies of Stenopsyche angustata (Trichoptera, Stenopsychidae) are widely distributed in various freshwater bodies and a few species inhabit marine environments.

Vicariance and dispersal in the Aegean Archipelago: Molecular phylogeography reveals the origin and divergence times of Hydropsyche (Trichoptera: Hydropsychidae) species

Journal of Systematics and Evolution, EarlyView.
Divergence times of Greek Hydropsyche lineages fall mostly within the Pliocene‐Pleistocene, rejecting ancient vicariance. Widespread species show shallow divergences consistent with dispersal, while island endemics exhibit deeper isolation patterns supporting a mixed vicariance‐dispersal model.

Two Different Cretaceous Worlds: Taimyr and Kachin Amber Trichopterofaunas

Zoodiversity, 2022
Polycentropodidae constitute 55.6% of Taimyr amber caddisfly species with known males, and only 4.8% of caddisfly species with known males in Kachin amber.

Butterfly abundances but not patch occupancy buffered by vegetation heterogeneity during climatic extremes

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 10, October 2026.
As extreme climatic events are becoming more frequent, we need to understand what mechanisms could buffer populations to ensure their persistence. Fragmented populations may be especially vulnerable, as exemplified by species with metapopulation dynamics whose persistence is determined by a precarious balance between frequent local extinctions and ...
