Heat but Not Cold Tolerance Is Phylogenetically Constrained in Greenlandic Terrestrial Arthropods Under Future Global Warming

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 1, January 2026.
In this study we describe the temperature limits for almost 8% of the Greenlandic arthropod fauna (insects and spiders). By combining this with a DNA analysis and a projection of future climates inhabited by these species we reveal that upwards of 25% of the investigated species risk exposure to stressful temperatures by the end of the century and that

A common terminology for the external anatomy of centipedes (Chilopoda)

open access: yesZooKeys, 2010
A common terminology for the external morphological characters of centipedes (Chilopoda) is proposed. Terms are selected from the alternatives used in the English literature, preferring those most frequently used or those that have been introduced ...

Exploring the phylogeny of the Leptanillinae (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) through high‐throughput sequencing and Bayesian total‐evidence inference, with accommodation of systematic bias

open access: yesSystematic Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, January‐March 2026.
The phylogeny of the Leptanillinae is inferred under maximum‐likelihood, Bayesian and coalescent‐based approaches from a total of 25 UCE alignments curated to compensate for an array of systematic biases. All major clades within the Leptanillinae receive robust statistical support across the bulk of the 80 phylogenomic analyses, with exceptions ...

Micro Gondwana: soil and litter mesofauna in the subalpine and alpine of North‐West Nelson, southern New Zealand

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 52, Issue 5, Page 944-966, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Alpine ecosystems are vulnerable to the warming climate, yet alpine soil mesofauna remains the less studied part of NZ biodiversity. Here we present a survey of soil mesofauna communities of three mountain peaks in the Nelson‐Tasman and Marlborough regions of the South Island of New Zealand.

Consumption of centipedes promotes growth and gut microbiome homeostasis in a lizard

open access: yesBiological Diversity
Animals are known for their self‐medicating behavior, and food composition also contributes to animal fitness. In this study, we investigated the dietary habits of endangered Chinese crocodile lizards and found that, compared to adult lizards, juvenile ...
