First record of the genus Alluaudomyia (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) with five species in the Republic of Korea

Journal of Asia-Pacific Biodiversity
The genus Alluaudomyia Kieffer, 1913 (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) represents a diverse group of predaceous midges for their small size, pale coloration, and characteristic dark spot patterns on their wings, with a global distribution and 206 species ...

Prolonged low flows and non‐native fish operate additively to alter insect emergence in mountain streams

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 70, Issue S2, Page S377-S391, December 2025.
Abstract Climate‐induced flow alteration is decreasing snowpack and advancing snowmelt, subjecting mountain streams to longer low‐flow periods. Yet, anticipating how stream ecosystems respond to prolonged low flows remains challenging because distinct trophic levels can respond differently, and non‐native predators can dampen or amplify responses. Here,

Synopsis of the genera of Ceratopogonidae (Diptera) [PDF]

Annales de Parasitologie Humaine et Comparée, 1974
A synopsis is presented for the classification of the 78 genera and subgenera of Ceratopogonidae of the world. Taxonomic keys are given for the separation of the genera. A short history is given for the classification of the family. The biting midges of this family include important bloodsucking pests, vectors of several animal diseases, pollinators of

Experimental droughts in mesocosms reveal a gradient of tolerance in Alpine stream macroinvertebrates

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 70, Issue S2, Page S352-S363, December 2025.
Abstract Prolonged droughts, driven by climate change and human pressures on water resources, are increasing in frequency and intensity, particularly impacting Alpine rivers. Benthic macroinvertebrates are one of the most important structural and functional components of Alpine lotic ecosystems.

Fish predation cues induce drifting and emergence in an experimental stream mesocosm system

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 70, Issue S2, Page S364-S376, December 2025.
Abstract Predator–prey interactions are important drivers of adaptation in aquatic communities, shaping the behavior of invertebrates with cascading effects on community dynamics. Behavioral responses, such as moving with the downstream current (drift) or altering the timing of emergence, are strategies that reduce the risk of predator encounters ...

Redescription of the pupa of Mallochohelea termophila (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae)

Revista Mexicana de Biodiversidad, 2012
The pupal exuviae of Mallochohelea termophila (Spinelli) is redescribed, photographed and illustrated mainly based on the type-series. Pupae of the type-series were collected with forceps from a thermal stream and were attached to rocks about 200 m from ...

The effects of human volatiles produced by skin microbiota on Forcipomyia (Lasiohelea) taiwana host preference

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 12, Page 7815-7826, December 2025.
Human skin volatiles influence midge behavior, with certain compounds acting as strong attractants or repellents. These odor differences are largely regulated by skin microbiota, offering insight into host preference mechanisms and potential for improved vector control. Abstract BACKGROUND Midges are widely distributed globally.

Cantharidin world on bird droppings: Reused cantharidin after bird predation of cantharidin‐producing insects

Entomological Science, Volume 28, Issue 4, December 2025.
Cantharidin is produced only by beetles of Meloidae and Oedemeridae families and is a rare resource for canthariphilous insects that ingest fluids and/or portions of living and even dead meloid and oedemerid beetles. This study reports that the canthariphilous insects also use cantharidin that remains in bird droppings produced after eating meloid or ...
