Geography, taxonomy, and ecological guild: Factors impacting freshwater macroinvertebrate gut microbiomes. [PDF]

Ecol Evol, 2022
Model predictions for mean Bray–Curtis distances for stream locations, macroinvertebrate family, genus, and functional feeding group are assessed. The densities show the posterior distributions of Bray–Curtis distances for each level of stream, family, genus, and functional feeding group. The dot and error bars under each density show the median and 95%

Could species-focused suppression of Aedes aegypti, the yellow fever mosquito, and Aedes albopictus, the tiger mosquito, affect interacting predators? An evidence synthesis from the literature. [PDF]

Pest Manag Sci, 2022
The risks of Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus nuisance and vector‐borne diseases are rising and their ranges are expanding. The studies identified by this extensive review come together to suggest little potential risk of adverse impact of suppressing or eliminating invasive Aedes spp. on their predators and food webs.

Paleopteran molecular clock: Time drift and recent acceleration. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Constant evolution rates, which form the foundation of the strict molecular clock model, do not apply in the case of Paleoptera, highlighting a notable bias in the molecular clock hypothesis. The current biodiversity may be the outcome of a relatively recent, exponential increase in base substitution rates.

A straightforward protocol to sample morphological traits of dragonflies and damselflies in the field. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Abstract Scarcity of morphological data limits the potential of functional ecology approaches, which rely on traits to elucidate ecological processes. Dragonflies and damselflies (Odonata) are a frequently used ecological model for which, however, only limited morphological data is available.

Population Density and Abundance of the Northernmost Population of Cordulegaster heros (Anisoptera: Cordulegastridae) in Europe (Czech Republic) with Notes on Its Biogeographical Range

Diversity, 2022
Cordulegaster heros is a Balkan species with a disjunctive area extending into Central Europe. The population in the Chřiby Mts. in the southeastern Czech Republic is the northernmost population, and this population was intensively studied from 2010 to ...

Taxonomic Revision of Eastern Part of Western Palaearctic Cordulegaster Using Molecular Phylogeny and Morphology, with the Description of Two New Species (Odonata: Anisoptera: Cordulegastridae)

Diversity, 2021
Taxonomy of the genus Cordulegaster Leach in Brewster, 1815 in the Eastern part of the Western Palaearctic is poorly resolved. A two-step approach was applied: sequences of mitochondrial and nuclear DNA fragments were used to sort specimens; poorly known

Anticipating where are unknown aquatic insects in Europe to improve biodiversity conservation

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 29, Issue 8, Page 1021-1034, August 2023., 2023
Abstract Aim Understanding biodiversity patterns is crucial for prioritizing future conservation efforts and reducing the current rates of biodiversity loss. However, a large proportion of species remain undescribed (i.e. unknown biodiversity), hindering our ability to conduct this task.

Fast species diversification among dragonflies (Anisoptera: Odonata: Insecta) inhabiting lentic environments regardless of wing pigmentation

Ecological Entomology, Volume 47, Issue 3, Page 314-322, June 2022., 2022
Use of novel state‐dependent net diversification methodologies to investigate wing pigmentation (pigmented/non‐pigmented) and aquatic habitat (lotic/lentic) impact on species diversification in dragonflies (Odonata: Anisoptera). Wing pigmentation and habitat influence species diversification.
