Wildlife Biology, Volume 2024, Issue 5, September 2024.The common swift Apus apus is an obligate aerial, migratory, insectivorous bird, that has experienced significant declines in the UK since the 1990s. Reductions in the availability of prey during their summer breeding season in the UK are likely to be a key factor in this decline.

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 17, Issue 5, Page 758-787, September 2024.Monitoring invertebrates in cereal fields in southern England over 50 years (1970–2019) showed an overall decline in abundance. For taxa at the order/family level, 47% declined in abundance, 16% increased and 37% showed no change. Most functional groups declined, expect for pollinators—whose abundance did not change overall.

Systematic Entomology, Volume 49, Issue 3, Page 447-494, July 2024.We redefine the circumscription of Ormyridae based on a phylogenomic dataset and morphological reassessment. Based on the phylogenetic results and comparative morphological assessment, subfamilies are established for the first time. The results support the description of two new genera Halleriaphagus van Noort and Burks, gen.

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 17, Issue 3, Page 409-418, May 2024.Introduced fly dominance: The Galapagos necrobiome is dominated by introduced carrion flies, with Peckia chrysostoma as the most abundant species, outcompeting native and endemic species. Endemic fly vulnerability: Endemic and native carrion flies, like Sarothromyiops dasycnemis, face competition and potential displacement by introduced species ...
