A comparison of two widely used methods for estimating taxonomic and functional diversities of epigeal arthropods in some temperate grasslands

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 171, Issue 11, Page 867-877, November 2023., 2023
Characterizing and surveying arthropod diversity is a challenge, and often calls for the use of various methods. We compared the efficiency of two methods for assessing taxonomic and functional diversities. Suction sampling was more efficient than pitfall trapping in collecting phytophagous arthropods, web‐builders, and small species in the vegetation ...

Dietary niche overlap and resource partitioning among six steppe passerines of Central Spain using DNA metabarcoding

open access: yesIbis, Volume 165, Issue 3, Page 905-923, July 2023., 2023
Trophic niche partitioning is a mechanism that facilitates the coexistence of ecologically similar species by sharing their resource use. However, detailed information of the trophic niche in insectivorous birds is usually limited by the lack of accurate identification of consumed food resources.

Sexual selection and predation drive the repeated evolution of stridulation in Heteroptera and other arthropods

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 98, Issue 3, Page 942-981, June 2023., 2023
ABSTRACT Acoustic and substrate‐borne vibrations are among the most widely used signalling modalities in animals. Arthropods display a staggering diversity of vibroacoustic organs generating acoustic sound and/or substrate‐borne vibrations, and are fundamental to our broader understanding of the evolution of animal signalling.

Contribution to Pentatomoidea (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Pentatomomorpha) fauna of Tartous with a new record for Syria [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Insect Biodiversity and Systematics, 2021
A three-year survey of species in the Superfamily Pentatomoidea was conducted during March and November of 2018 through 2020 in Tartous Province, Syria. The identified specimens belonging to four families; i.e. Pentatomidae (21 species), Scutelleridae (2

Insects and their Laboulbeniales (Ascomycota, Fungi) of Lake Eustis and Emeralda Marsh Conservation Area: A case study on urbanization and diversity

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 11, Issue 23, Page 16618-16633, December 2021., 2021
Two lakes in central Florida were surveyed for insects and the associated fungal parasites, Laboulbeniales. One of the lakes had been the site of intensive restoration efforts while the other lake is highly developed and un‐restored. This study found stark differences in fungal diversity between the sites, and explores the possibility of the use of ...

Cydnidae Pigmentation on Palms Resembling Black-Ink Stains. [PDF]

open access: yesCureus
We report a case of a 26-year-old male, a student by profession, who noticed black-ink-like stains over palms not removed with soap and water on relocating to a new flat during monsoons. The patient had no history of trauma, contact with chemicals, or drug intake.

Legacy of pre‐eruption vegetation affects ground‐dwelling arthropod communities after different types of volcanic disturbance

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 11, Issue 13, Page 9110-9122, July 2021., 2021
Our paper found that the legacy of pre‐eruption vegetation influenced the community structure of ground‐dwelling arthropods after volcanic disturbances. Moreover, counterintuitively, these legacy effects of vegetation were more evident for the more severe disturbances.

Removal of gut symbiotic bacteria negatively affects life history traits of the shield bug, Graphosoma lineatum

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 11, Issue 6, Page 2515-2523, March 2021., 2021
In this study, life table analysis was used to assess the biological importance of the gut symbiont in the shield bug, Graphosoma lineatum (Heteroptera, Pentatomidae). Surface sterilization of the eggs was used to remove the symbiont. The symbiont population was decreased in the newborn nymphs hatched from the surface‐sterilized eggs (the aposymbiotic ...
