High levels of species' extirpation in an urban environment—A case study from Berlin, Germany, covering 1700–2023

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2024.
Our study compiled and analysed spatio‐temporal species' extirpation on a broad taxonomic coverage at the city scale. We revealed high number of extirpations, which are in the twenty‐firstcentury already comparable with previous centuries, and showed that cities might be suitable systems for studying species' extirpation processes due to their small ...

DNA barcoding and species boundary delimitation of selected species of Chinese Acridoidea (Orthoptera: Caelifera). [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
We tested the performance of DNA barcoding in Acridoidea and attempted to solve species boundary delimitation problems in selected groups using COI barcodes. Three analysis methods were applied to reconstruct the phylogeny.

Evolutionary Relationships of Courtship Songs in the Parasitic Wasp Genus, Cotesia (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Acoustic signals play an important role in premating isolation based on sexual selection within many taxa. Many male parasitic wasps produce characteristic courtship songs used by females in mate selection.

Finger millet (Eleusine coracana) improvement: Challenges and prospects—A review

open access: yesPlant Breeding, Volume 143, Issue 3, Page 350-374, June 2024.
Abstract Finger millet is a climate‐resilient and highly nutritious small grain crop widely grown in the semi‐arid tropics. It has multiple uses, including for food, feed and beverage preparations. However, finger millet is an under‐utilized and under‐researched crop with a mean yield of <1.0 t/ha despite a potential productivity of up to 8 t/ha.

Micro‐ and macroclimate interactively shape diversity, niches and traits of Orthoptera communities along elevational gradients

open access: yesDiversity and Distributions, Volume 30, Issue 5, May 2024.
Abstract Aim Temperature is one of the main drivers shaping species diversity and assembly processes. Yet, site‐specific effects of the local microclimate on species and trait compositions of insect communities have rarely been assessed along macroclimatic temperature clines. Location Bavarian Alps, Germany.

How to enhance the acceptability of insects food—A review

open access: yesFood Frontiers, Volume 5, Issue 2, Page 311-328, March 2024.
Exploring new food sources is very tempting for achieving zero hunger of the world and edible insects (EIs) may be one of the ways to solve human protein deficiency. However, there is still largely rejection in various parts of the world. In this review, we systematically summarize the factors behind rejection of EIs as well as ways to improve the ...
