Impact of temperature and hypoxia on the size and survival of aquatic insects
Ecological Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 6, Page 1023-1032, December 2025.Understanding size–temperature relations is crucial for the conservation of aquatic insects. We hypothesised that the combination of high temperature and hypoxia will lead to a reduction in the size of larvae and pupae of aquatic insects (non‐biting midge, Chrionomus riparius). We showed that Chironomus riparius pupae were significantly smaller at 30°C

Towards edge processing of images from insect camera traps
Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, Volume 11, Issue 5, Page 573-589, October 2025.The advancement of light traps with camera‐based monitoring systems for nocturnal insects necessitates effective and flexible pipelines for analysing recorded images. In this paper, we present a flexible and fast processing pipeline designed to analyse these recordings by detecting, tracking and classifying insects in a broad taxonomy of 15 classes and

Small Bugs, Big Data: Metagenomics for Arthropod Biodiversity Monitoring
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 9, September 2025.We used metagenomic sequencing of 40 bulk arthropod samples collected across Sweden to classify taxa and compare results with metabarcoding from the same samples. While metabarcoding was more sensitive for detecting low‐abundance taxa, taxonomic overlap between methods was strongly influenced by reference database representation.

European Journal of Soil Science, Volume 76, Issue 4, July–August 2025.ABSTRACT Herbivorous soil‐dwelling pests cause damage in agriculture through decreases in root and shoot biomass, which can affect both plant and economic yield. Having a greater understanding of the soil environment of these pests could identify potential avenues for mitigation/control strategies. Leatherjackets (Tipula larvae) are pests of grasslands

Ethology, Volume 131, Issue 7, July 2025.It is currently not known how the European cave orb spider Meta menardi (d) catches the non‐flying prey, which makes up approximately half of its diet. Our observations in winter and summer from caves in the United Kingdom offer support to the radius tripwire hypothesis (a) over the off‐web hunting hypothesis (b) and the prey slip hypothesis (c ...

Just Hang On: Australian Gall Midges Suspend Themselves on Spider Silk Without Becoming Entangled
Ethology, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2025.Silk is a versatile biological material for its producers yet also introduces novel resources into the environment that non‐silk producers can exploit. We provide observations of Australian gall midges (Cecidomyiidae) exploiting spider silk as roosting sites by intentionally suspending themselves on silk lines using their front pair of legs.

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2018 Various experiments have indicated that anaphase chromosomes continue to move after their kinetochore microtubules are severed. The chromosomes move poleward at an accelerated rate after the microtubules are cut but they slow down 1–3 min later and move ...

Species composition and abundance of craneflies (Diptera: Tipulidae) in the highland lakes of Japan [PDF]
Journal of Freshwater Ecology, 2011 We evaluated the relative abundance of tipulids in the Nishina Three Lakes and Lake Suwa, Japan, by capturing adult flies with light traps set around the shores of the lakes. Of the 149 individuals collected, 49 species were identified, and we described 19 newly recorded genera around these lakes.

The effects of the disposal of organophosphate and synthetic pyrethroid sheep dips on non-target organisms on farmland [PDF]
, 2004 The 1998 Groundwater Regulations required spent organophosphate and synthetic pyrethroid sheep dip to be disposed to farmland. The effects of dip disposal on soil invertebrates and the possible consequences for their bird predators were investigated on ...
