Persistence without prosperity at the upper range margin: Elevation, microhabitat buffering and biotic pressure in a range‐expanding spider

open access: yesEcological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 5, Page 926-943, October 2026.
Anthropogenic linear features facilitate high‐elevation colonization. Parasitoid pressure declines markedly with elevation. Cocoon damage increases despite reduced parasitism at high elevation. Abstract The upper elevational range limits of thermophilic arthropods reflect constraints on population persistence rather than simple presence.

Evolution and speciation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Charles Darwin is the father of evolution as we know it today. In his book “The origin of species” he states that new species originate from ancestral species that change over time, and that the mechanism of the change is natural selection.

From hindrance to indirect protection: Ant‐mediated enemy‐free space for gall midges (Cecidomyiidae) on Macaranga myrmecophytes (Euphorbiaceae)

open access: yesEntomological Science, Volume 29, Issue 3, September 2026.
Ant presence was associated with lower gall density on Macaranga beccariana, whereas trees lacking ant defense had more galls and showed different parasitism patterns. Results from this natural experiment suggest that plant‐ants may indirectly influence gall midges through their effects on multitrophic interactions.

Fly me to the canopy: Diptera communities in oak forest crowns as bioindicators of stand decline

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 5, Page 1099-1113, September 2026.
Diptera diversity: Oak decline increases the overall Diptera diversity, particularly in saproxylic and floricolous guilds, likely due to more open canopies and greater deadwood and floral resource availability. Family responses: Dolichopodidae, Empididae, Hybotidae and Anthomyiidae thrive in declining stands, whereas Mycetophilidae and other fungus ...

Diversity of flies visiting and pollinating flowers of the Southern African genus Riocreuxia (Apocynaceae: Ceropegieae, Anisotominae)

open access: yesTAXON, Volume 75, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract The subtribe Stapeliinae (Apocynaceae: Asclepiadoideae) contains ca. 720 species and, with fly pollination being ubiquitous in the group, appears to have diversified without shifts between major groups of pollinators. In contrast, the sister subtribe Anisotominae, which only has ca.
