How many cows are in the desert? Molecular phylogeny and species delimitation of the genus Gyriosomus (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae: Pimeliinae) from the Atacama Desert

open access: yesSystematic Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, January‐March 2026.
The newly systematic rearrangement of Gyriosomus recognizes 9 clades, validates 21 taxonomical species and suggests 12 synonyms and 12 species candidates. Three taxonomical species were not evaluated. Polymorphisms, convergences and crypsis have been detected, and therefore morphology‐based taxonomy should be approached with caution. Ecological drivers

Advice on animal and public health risks of insects reared on former foodstuffs as raw material for animal feed

open access: yesFood Risk Assess Europe, Volume 4, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract In the coming decades, there is expected to be a sharply increased demand for dietary proteins for humans and animals. As a result, there is an increasing focus on reared insects as a new source of protein. According to the Ministry of Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality (LNV), the use of food chain residual flows such as former foodstuffs as

Body and mandible size as key factors in male contest outcomes, but no evidence of assessment models in Helm’s stag beetles

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 52, Issue 5, Page 704-715, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Males of many species compete with one another, allowing access to mating opportunities. During combat, contestants are constantly making decisions, e.g. to continue competing or retreat, based on the relative difference in resource holding potential (RHP) or some internal threshold.
