Multilevel Analysis of Ground Beetle Responses to Forest Management: Integrating Species Composition, Morphological Traits and Developmental Instability. [PDF]
Ecol EvolABSTRACT This study evaluates the response of ground beetle (Coleoptera: Carabidae) assemblage to forest management practices by integrating species composition, body traits, wing morphology and developmental instability. Traditional approaches that rely on averaged identity‐based descriptors often overlook phenotypic plasticity and functional trait ...

High mortality of beetle migrants along the Eastern Mediterranean Flyway
Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 16, Issue 6, Page 896-901, November 2023., 2023 In spring, 2019 millions of insects migrated from the Middle East to Cyprus, across more than 100 km of ocean. Coleopteran migrants were recorded, but the vast majority were found stranded on the beach, suggesting that Coleopterans are weaker migrants than other members of the migratory insect assemblage. This migratory mortality is likely an important

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 147, Issue 8, Page 676-687, September 2023., 2023 Abstract A local population outbreak of the spongy moth, Lymantria dispar L. (Lepidoptera: Erebidae), in Lower Austria, resulted in the defoliation of an oak forest in 2018 and 2019. In the study year 2020, the population density was still high but was expected to decline.

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 32, Issue 6, Page 987-1001, June 2023., 2023 Abstract Aim As one of the most diverse and economically important families on Earth, ground beetles (Carabidae) are viewed as a key barometer of climate change. Recent meta‐analyses provide equivocal evidence on abundance changes of terrestrial insects.

Systematic Entomology, Volume 48, Issue 1, Page 23-39, January 2023., 2023 1. Phylogeny reconstruction based on mitochondrial genomes provided a number of insights into the evolutionary history of Blattoidea. 2. A new subfamily and two synonyms were proposed in Blattidae: Hebardininae subfam. nov., Archiblattinae Kirby syn. nov. and Shelfordella Adelung syn. nov. 3.

Systematic Entomology, Volume 46, Issue 4, Page 856-869, October 2021., 2021 The expansions and retractions of the ice layer during the Quaternary glaciations shaped out the diversification and evolution of the genus Ceroglossus. The diversity of Ceroglossus is higher than expected, with 13 putative phylogenetic species, challenging the traditional taxonomy based on morphological characters. Chromosome reorganizations played an

Smelling in the dark: Phylogenomic insights into the chemosensory system of a subterranean beetle
Molecular Ecology, Volume 30, Issue 11, Page 2573-2590, June 2021., 2021 Abstract The chemosensory system has experienced relevant changes in subterranean animals, facilitating the perception of specific chemical signals critical to survival in their particular environment. However, the genomic basis of chemoreception in cave‐dwelling fauna has been largely unexplored.

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 2, Issue 1, January–March 2021., 2021 Gypsy moth outbreaks and their management with insecticides affect plant health and growth, and forest fauna through multiple mechanisms. The decision to spray or leave an outbreak to run its course can have serious implications for wood economy and forest ecosystems.

International Journal of Polymer Science, Volume 2021, Issue 1, 2021., 2021 Skin wounds are frequently influenced with microbial infections and inflammation, which need innovative agents for disputing them. Chitosan (Csn) was extracted from larvae of BSF “black soldier fly, Hermetia illucens” and ethanolic propolis extract (Pro) was employed for synthesizing silver nanoparticles (Ag‐NPs), using facile biogenic protocol.
