Visual Cues Can Alter the Behavioural Responses of Dragonfly Larvae to Chemical Alarm Cues

Ethology, Volume 132, Issue 5, Page 349-358, May 2026.
Using a controlled experimental approach, we examined how chemical and visual cues influence antipredator behaviour in Aeshna cyanea larvae and tested whether risk‐related information can be socially transmitted among nearby conspecifics. Our results show that dragonfly larvae do not copy the antipredator responses of others, but visual cues alter how ...

Towards red listing understudied tropical insects: A case study of the dung beetles of Sabah, Malaysian Borneo

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 3, Page 511-529, May 2026.
We performed an IUCN Red List assessment for 159 dung beetle species from Sabah, Malaysian Borneo. Due to the lack of population demographic data, only Criterion B (i.e. geographic range) could be applied. Our findings show that the IUCN Red List Criteria can be applied to insect species based solely on occurrence data but highlight the importance of ...

Water availability and land‐use shape the diversity of Odonata in the Middle East

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 3, Page 621-633, May 2026.
Odonata diversity in the Middle East depends on the availability of long‐lasting waters, emphasizing the importance of preserving stable aquatic habitats for biodiversity conservation under climate change‐driven droughts. Agricultural expansion is associated with increased Odonata species richness, but overall trait diversity remains limited ...
