Spatial Interpolation in Applied Insect Ecology: A Review, Including Guidelines and Datasets for Practical Use

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Spatial interpolation represents a fundamental approach in applied insect ecology, offering insight into species distributions and supporting biodiversity analysis, pest management and disease vector mapping. Insects—including important pollinators—face escalating threats due to habitat loss, climate change and anthropogenic pressures. As data‐

Resource use, niche width, and trophic position reveal diverse trophic structure in a tidal freshwater zone fish community

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The tidal freshwater zone is an aquatic transition zone that links a river to its estuary and provides an important habitat used in the life cycle of resident and migratory fishes. Yet, information on the trophic structure of fishes in this habitat is scarce. To address this gap, we characterize the trophic structure of a fish community in the

Virtual dissection of Aedes aegypti mosquito using phase‐contrast synchrotron microtomography

Journal of Microscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract In this paper, in‐line phase‐contrast synchrotron microtomography was used to study the morphology of adult Aedes aegypti. These specimens are vectors of several arboviruses, causing dengue, chikungunya, Zika and yellow fever. The morphological details of this insect species are still incomplete and insufficient.

Skull morphology and histology indicate the presence of an unexpected buccal soft tissue structure in dinosaurs

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
A combined approach of osteology and histology was used to examine the cheek regions of dinosaurs. Strong evidence was found for a soft tissue in this region connecting the zygoma to the mandible, here named the ‘exoparia’. Abstract Unlike mammals, reptiles typically lack large muscles and ligaments that connect the zygoma to the mandible.
