Polychromophilus spp. (Haemosporida: Plasmodiidae): First Molecular Detection in Bat Flies From Brazilian Bats

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This study identifies Polychromophilus sp. in blood‐feeding flies (Basilia speiseri and Basilia lindolphoi) from Myotis nigricans bats in Brazil, marking the first molecular detection of the parasite in an insect vector in this country. Two haplotypes were identified, both within the Polychromophilus murinus group.

Lords of the flies: dipteran migrants are diverse, abundant and ecologically important

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Insect migrants are hugely abundant, with recent studies identifying the megadiverse order Diptera as the major component of many migratory assemblages. Despite this, their migratory behaviour has been widely overlooked in favour of more ‘charismatic’ migrant insects such as butterflies, dragonflies, and moths.

Tree hollow parameters and their effects on saproxylic arthropod diversity: A multi‐taxon approach

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Tree hollows are keystone structures for biodiversity in forests and support saproxylic arthropods but are declining in central Europe due to intensive forest management, threatening these invertebrate communities. Research using DNA metabarcoding examined non‐beetle arthropods in 40 beech tree hollows, exploring their habitat requirements in southern ...

Rocksitter Flies (Lauxaniidae: Cestrotus) are Key‐Pollinators of Ceropegia pulchellior—A Threatened and Localised South African Endemic With Foetid‐Scented Flowers

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Short‐tongued saprophilous flies are a diverse but under‐appreciated group of pollinators, which are particularly important for flowers in the subtribe Stapeliinae (Apocynaceae‐Asclepiadoideae‐Ceropegieae). This clade of plants is characterised by repeated shifts between tubular kettle‐trap and open non‐trap flowers and chemical mimicry (of ...
