The conservatism of prairie pollinators according to experts and empiricism

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 18, Issue 6, Page 917-927, November 2025.
We derived ecological conservatism values for prairie pollinators using expert opinion and analysis of remnant fidelity. Expert values were potentially biased and struggled to differentiate between remnant and non‐remnant prairie sites Empirical values showed advantages for pollinator‐based site assessment and prioritization in prairie regions ...

Comparative Analysis of Mechanical Properties of Arolium and Euplantulae in Medauroidea extradentata (Phasmatodea), Using In Vivo Atomic Force Microscopy, Supports Functional Specialization of both Types of Attachment Pads

Advanced Materials Interfaces, Volume 12, Issue 19, October 6, 2025.
Stick insects use two different types of smooth attachment pads for locomotion, the pretarsal arolium for adhesion and tarsal euplantulae for friction. With atomic force microscopy (AFM) measurements on these pads on living and conscious insects, this work demonstrates that each pad exhibits distinct material properties aligned with its function.

The ant-associations and diet of the ladybird Coccinella magnifica (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae)

European Journal of Entomology, 2002
The ladybird Coccinella magnifica is typically considered to be myrmecophilous, and primarily associated with the Formica rufa group of wood ants. It is regularly associated with ants of the F. rufa group in north-western Europe. The very limited data on

Variation in Ectotherm Thermal Tolerances With Elevation and Temperature Across Biological Scales

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 34, Issue 10, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Variation in thermal tolerances along environmental gradients is assumed to follow similar patterns across different biological scales, including within and between species, and across communities. However, this assumption has yet to be tested using comprehensive datasets collected through standardised methodologies. Location Southern Asia.

Interspecific differences of ladybirds (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) in their repellency to ants

Journal of Zoology, Volume 327, Issue 1, Page 73-83, September 2025.
Our study found that, unlike those from mealworms, compounds in whole‐body extracts of ladybirds effectively deterred ants. No correlation was found between the degree of aposematic colouration (highly conspicuous vs. less conspicuous) and repellence. Mycophagous ladybird species exhibited levels of protection comparable to predatory species, and large

Evaluating Promotional Approaches for Citizen Science Biological Recording: Bumblebees as a Group Versus Harmonia axyridis as a Flagship for Ladybirds [PDF]

, 2017
Over the past decade, the number of biological records submitted by members of the public have increased dramatically. However, this may result in reduced record quality, depending on how species are promoted in the media.
