First continental‐scale synthesis of hygropetric beetle diversity and distribution across Neotropical highlands. Climatic and topographic gradients structure regional assemblages and niche overlap. Ecological convergence suggests adaptation to similar conditions across disjunct regions.

Strong diel variation in the activity of insect taxa sampled by Malaise traps
Malaise traps sampled different communities during mornings (06:00–12:00), afternoons (12:00–16:00), evenings (18:00–22:00), and nights (22:00–06:00), highlighting the difference in diel rhythm between taxa. The highest diversity and abundance of insects were found during afternoons, the lowest diversity during night, and the lowest abundance during ...

Agricultural cover was positively associated with fluctuating asymmetry in Trypoxylon opacum, suggesting a possible increase in developmental instability in intensively managed landscapes. Wing size was positively related to forest cover and negatively related to agricultural cover, indicating that forested landscapes may promote larger body size ...

Nest boxes as microhabitats supporting diverse arthropod communities
Diverse Micro‐Habitats: Nest boxes supported 3634 arthropods from 82 families, highlighting their significant conservation value as artificial micro‐habitats for diverse invertebrate communities beyond their primary use for birds. Occupancy Boosts Diversity: Occupied nests exhibited significantly higher arthropod richness, abundance and Shannon ...

In a given number of samples, grassland sward islets contain more species of arthropods than the surrounding sward. When corrected for abundance, there is no difference in species richness, suggesting that the effect of islets might purely be to concentrate arthropods. The community structure differences indicated by non‐metric multidimensional scaling
