Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.The genus Leptoconops is poorly investigated, despite its ecological relevance and biting nuisance. The studies in Italy focused only on the coastal areas. Inland populations of Leptoconops noei are documented for the first time in Italy. We record their presence in an area covering Siena district, Tuscany region, in an atypical environment for the ...

Lords of the flies: dipteran migrants are diverse, abundant and ecologically important
Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 4, Page 1635-1659, August 2025.ABSTRACT Insect migrants are hugely abundant, with recent studies identifying the megadiverse order Diptera as the major component of many migratory assemblages. Despite this, their migratory behaviour has been widely overlooked in favour of more ‘charismatic’ migrant insects such as butterflies, dragonflies, and moths.

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
