Update of the Culicoides (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) species checklist from Algeria with 10 new records

Parasites & Vectors, 2020
Background The Culicoides fauna of Algeria has been historically investigated, leading to the description of many new species by Kieffer in the 1920s, Clastrier in the 1950s or Callot in the 1960s and to a comprehensive inventory by Szadziewski in the ...

Testing the Optimal Foraging Theory in a Generalist Feeder: The Case of Reintroduced European Pond Turtles and Its Impact on Macroinvertebrates Communities

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 8, August 2025.
In this study we investigated the macroinvertebrate (MI) communities in two newly created, man‐made ponds concurrently with the diet of captive‐bred European pond turtles that were translocated there. We aimed at assessing whether turtles were operating as generalist feeders, and if successive reintroductions of turtles would affect the overall MI ...

Forest Management and the Colonization of Artificial Tree Holes by Aquatic Insect Larvae

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 8, August 2025.
The present study demonstrates the effects of forest management on insect communities during the colonization of artificial tree holes and reveals a dynamic, species‐specific pattern of colonization. It highlights the negative effects of forest management intensity and the dominant tree species of the forest stand on insect abundance and community ...
