Odonate diversity of Nalsarovar Bird Sanctuary - a Ramsar site in Gujarat, India
Journal of Threatened Taxa, 2018 Odonate diversity of Nalsarovar Bird Sanctuary, a Ramsar site in Gujarat, was studied between January 2015 and July 2017. A total of 46 species belonging to two suborders, six families, and 27 genera were recorded, which included 14 species of Zygoptera

Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 2, Page 235-249, April 2026.Species co‐occurrences rely on their ability to explore similar or distinct available resources, and possible niche overlap can prevent their presence and establishment in a given site Damselflies of the Calopterygidae family demonstrated negative co‐occurrences in streams inside and outside PAs, highlighting that their ecological similarity is ...

Journal of Comparative Neurology, Volume 534, Issue 3, March 2026.The central complex is a group of midline‐spanning neuropils in the brain of insects with a key role in goal‐directed orientation and navigation. Immunolabeling in 25 species, ranging from bristletails to flies, shows that neurons containing peptides of the tachykinin family of neuropeptides are present in most species studied.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.This study examines how Geometrid moth assemblages along a 1500‐m elevational gradient in the western Himalayas respond to temperature and air density shifts. While species diversity declines with elevation and turnover occurs from low to high elevations, no significant changes in morphological or flight traits were observed at the assemblage level ...

Clashing in Murky Waters: On Amphibian Mosquito Suppression
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.This study compares the predator efficiency of common European amphibian species to common invertebrate mosquito predators. Focusing on the cosmopolitan mosquito Culex pipiens, known for transmitting pathogens like West Nile virus, we assessed predator rates, sex‐specific efficiency in amphibians, and the impact of predator presence on mosquito ...

EntomoBrasilis, 2016 Commonly called “helicopter damselflies”, Mecistogaster species (Coenagrionidae) are recognized by their large body size in comparison with other Odonata species, ability to flap both anterior and posterior wings in opposite directions, and preference ...

Evidence for Environment‐Specific Pace‐of‐Life Syndromes
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.The correlation between behaviour and life‐history depends on environmental conditions. We show this is true when considering the quality of the food in the environment. ABSTRACT The pace‐of‐life syndrome (POLS) hypothesis posits that consistent individual differences in behaviour are integrated with physiology and life‐history traits such that ...

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 3, March 2026.Food webs consist of trophic interactions of variable strength. However, it remains challenging to predict how changes in environmental conditions, such as nutrient enrichment, can affect these interactions. In this paper, we propose to integrate food web theory with ecological stoichiometry, which predicts how elemental ratios affect trophic ...

Conservation Letters, Volume 19, Issue 2, March/April 2026.ABSTRACT Insects are the most diverse and functionally important animals on Earth. In at least some regions, terrestrial populations are declining. Despite this, insects are often overlooked in conservation policy, and it is difficult to assess how anthropogenic threats and conservation actions affect insect populations.

Sex‐Specific Control and Incomplete Matings: Sperm Removal Behavior in a Bush Cricket Species
Ethology, Volume 132, Issue 3, Page 194-203, March 2026.In this study, we investigated which sex influences the duration of sperm removal behaviour (SRB) in the ornate bush cricket, Metaplastes ornatus. Female traits showed a weak effect on SRB duration, and lighter females mated more frequently. Frequent unsuccessful mating terminations shortened SRB indicating high level of sexual conflict.
