The best of two worlds: toward large‐scale monitoring of biodiversity combining COI metabarcoding and optimized parataxonomic validation

Ecography, Volume 2025, Issue 6, June 2025.
In a context of unprecedented insect decline, it is critical to have reliable monitoring tools to measure species diversity and their dynamic at large‐scales. High‐throughput DNA‐based identification methods, and particularly metabarcoding, were proposed as an effective way to reach this aim.

Sexual Dimorphism of Tarsal Attachment Devices and Their Relation to Mating in Coccinellidae

Journal of Morphology, Volume 286, Issue 4, April 2025.
We explore the coevolution of male attachment devices and female elytral morphology in coccinellids. Specifically: (1) Disco‐setae are present in males of some species, located on the hairy pad which during mating hold on female elytra. (2) The area of male disco‐setae is extended when females have smooth elytra, and reduced when females have hairy ...

Insect–flower interactions, ecosystem functions, and restoration ecology in the northern Sahel: current knowledge and perspectives

Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 2, Page 969-995, April 2025.
ABSTRACT Actions for ecological restoration under the Great Green Wall (GGW) initiative in the northern Sahel have been plant focused, paying scant attention to plant–animal interactions that are essential to ecosystem functioning. Calls to accelerate implementation of the GGW make it timely to develop a more solid conceptual foundation for restoration

Structural Diversity of Adipokinetic Hormones in the Coleopteran Suborder Polyphaga (Excluding Cucujiformia)

Archives of Insect Biochemistry and Physiology, Volume 118, Issue 3, March 2025.
Adipokinetic hormones of Polyphaga beetles (minus Cucujiformia series) were sequenced and confirmed via mass spectrometry. Schgr‐AKH‐II is assumed as ancestral AKH in Coleoptera. Radiation of AKH diversity during the evolution of Scarabaeoidea. ABSTRACT Beetles are the largest animal group, in general.

Pathways for accidental biocontrol: The human‐mediated dispersal of insect predators and parasitoids

Ecological Applications, Volume 34, Issue 8, December 2024.
Abstract Introductions of insect predators and parasitoids for biological control are a key method for pest management. Yet in recent decades, biological control has become more strictly regulated and less frequent. Conversely, the rate of unintentional insect introductions through human activities is rising.
