Exploitation of kairomones and synomones by Medetera spp. (Diptera: Dolichopodidae), predators of spruce bark beetles

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2005
The semiochemical relationships in a predator-prey-host plant system were studied by a series of multiple-choice field assays. The studied system included predatory flies of the genus Medetera (Diptera: Dolichopodidae), the bark beetles Ips typographus ...

The genus Neurigona Róndani, 1856 of Iran with the description of a new species from the Hyrcanian Mixed Forests biome (Diptera: Dolichopodidae)

open access: yesZoology in the Middle East, 2022
This paper provides an overview of the Neurigona species found in Iran. During our studies in northern Iran four species of the genus Neurigona Róndani, 1856 have been collected, three of which for the first time in Iran: Neurigona helva Negrobov ...

Of Islands on Islands: Natural Habitat Fragmentation Drives Microallopatric Differentiation in the Context of Distinct Biological Assemblages

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 2, March/April 2025.
Leveraging a natural experiment provided by arthopod communities in Hawaiian wet forest fragments isolated by lava flows, this study examines the impact of natural habitat fragmentation on species‐equivalent (3% radius OTUs) and haplotype‐equivalent (zOTUs) scales.

Soil fauna trophic multifunctionality mediates the release of elements from decomposing typhoon‐generated leaf litter

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 3, Page 813-823, March 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Tropical cyclones (i.e. hurricanes, typhoons) cause large pulse fluxes of leaves that have not undergone senescence (i.e. green litter) to forest soils, with consequences for biogeochemical cycling.

Paleoethology : fossilized behaviours in amber [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
When organisms became trapped in sticky resin they usually expired so quickly that they could fossilize in almost lifelike circumstances. Based on frequent description in literature of many examples we propose in this paper a classification of these ...

Arthropod Fauna Associated with Wild and Cultivated Cranberries in Wisconsin [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon Aiton) is an evergreen, trailing shrub native to North American peatlands. It is cultivated commercially in the US and Canada, with major production centers in Wisconsin, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Washington, Québec,

Arthropod Food Webs in the Foreland of a Retreating Greenland Glacier: Integrating Molecular Gut Content Analysis With Structural Equation Modelling

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 12, December 2024.
This study investigates the ecological dynamics of arthropod predators across a transect of an Arctic glacier foreland, to understand how climate change impacts predator–prey interactions. By integrating ecological observations with DNA metabarcoding, our research elucidates the role of the key prey species in shaping spider populations in these ...

Arthropod diversity in constructed wetlands is affected strongly by shoreline properties but only weakly by grazing

open access: yesJournal of Biogeography, Volume 51, Issue 12, Page 2323-2333, December 2024.
Abstract Aim Aquatic‐terrestrial transition zones contain features essential for many species that often benefit wetland biodiversity. Shallow flood‐zone areas and reed beds are indicative of natural wetland habitats; however, how such features affect the native arthropod biodiversity in constructed wetlands is scarcely investigated. We asked how these

Beaver dams in Mediterranean ecosystems: trait‐specific effects on macroinvertebrates

open access: yesJournal of Zoology, Volume 324, Issue 4, Page 353-362, December 2024.
Being ecosystem engineers, beavers have attracted great attention in the restoration of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. Nonetheless, the effects of the species on aquatic invertebrates known to date are not univocal and mostly refer to central European riverine systems. Here, we evaluated the effects of beaver presence on aquatic macroinvertebrates

Characters of generic level in wing venation of Dolichopodidae (Diptera) [PDF]

open access: yesКавказский энтомологический бюллетень, 2012
The wings of 12 genera of Dolichopodidae (Diptera) have been investigated for revelation of quantitative characters. 15 sections of veins were measured, and 13 coefficients of ratios were obtained.
