New records for the Western Balkans cranefly fauna (Diptera, Tipuloidea) with the description of a new Baeoura Alexander (Diptera, Limoniidae) [PDF]
The cranefly (Tipuloidea) fauna of the Western Balkans is still poorly known. In this study, occurrence data of 77 species is reported, of which two species are newly recorded for Albania, eight species for Bosnia and Herzegovina, twelve for Croatia, and

Cretaceous Antodicranomyia (Diptera: Limoniidae) and their paleohabitat [PDF]
New representatives of the Cretaceous cranefly genus Antodicranomyia (Diptera: Limoniidae) are reported from Albian-Cenomanian Charentese (French) amber. The newly reported specimens allow for an emended diagnosis of the type species A. azari, as well as

Non-wetting wings and legs of the cranefly aided by fine structures of the cuticle [PDF]
Non-wetting surfaces are imperative to the survival of terrestrial and semi-aquatic insects as they afford resistance to wetting by rain and other liquid surfaces that insects may encounter. Thus, there is an evolutionary pay-off for these insects to adopt hydrophobic technologies, especially on contacting surfaces such as legs and wings.

Assessment of the Biological Control Potential of Common Carabid Beetle Species for Autumn- and Winter-Active Pests (Gastropoda, Lepidoptera, Diptera: Tipulidae) in Annual Ryegrass in Western Oregon [PDF]
While carabid beetles have been shown to feed on a variety of crop pests, little is known about their species assemblages in US annual ryegrass crops, where invertebrate pests, particularly slugs, lepidopteran larvae and craneflies, incur major financial

Riparian Bryophytes: An Overlooked Yet Important Habitat for Aquatic Macroinvertebrates in Interior Pacific Northwest (USA) Salmonid-Bearing Streams. [PDF]
We investigated riparian bryophytes as habitat for aquatic invertebrates in an interior Pacific Northwest (PNW) salmonid stream system. Our results demonstrate that bryophytes are highly productive habitat for aquatic invertebrates in interior Pacific Northwest salmonid streams.
