Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 17, September 2025.ABSTRACT Bumble bee (Bombus Latreille) populations of certain species have declined precipitously in North America over several decades. Hypotheses for declines include exposure to the pathogen Nosema bombi and neonicotinoid pesticides. Importantly, populations of some bumble bee species remain stable despite their presumed exposure to these same ...

Adaptation Mechanisms of Drosophila melanogaster and Drosophila suzukii to Their Distinct Habitats
Entomological Research, Volume 55, Issue 8, August 2025.ABSTRACT The Drosophila genus comprises over 2000 species worldwide, making it a valuable model for studying habitat selection and preference differences among species in specific ecosystems. This review focuses on the differences in habitat and chemical preference between Drosophila melanogaster, which inhabits overripe and decaying fermented fruits ...

Population Ecology, Volume 67, Issue 3, Page 191-207, July 2025.A scenario in which divergent selection derived from ecological environments leads to genital divergence through body size evolution. Abstract To explore how ecological diversity contributes to the establishment of ecologically similar species with sexual divergence, this review focuses on body size—an environmentally influenced trait that determines ...

Patterns of Gene Family Evolution and Selection Across Daphnia
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 5, May 2025.This study examines gene family dynamics within Daphnia species, using comparative genomics to explore adaptive expansion in gene families, particularly those related to stress response. Findings reveal general trends in gene turnover and selection, although most changes are species‐specific, highlighting complex evolutionary patterns.

Carrion‐breeding flies of Australia and New Zealand: A review and key to adults
Austral Entomology, Volume 64, Issue 2, May 2025.Abstract Carrion‐breeding flies are diverse with over 70 species in the Australasian/Oceanian region, predominantly from the families Calliphoridae and Sarcophagidae. These flies play crucial roles in ecosystems as primary decomposers, pollinators and food sources for a variety of predators and parasites.

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 18, Issue 3, Page 319-329, May 2025.Our investigation applied genome skimming to museum specimens of Syntretus, a parasitoid wasp, due to its suspected parasitism of short‐haired bumblebee (Bombus subterraneus) queens during a reintroduction programme. We detected two clades within Syntretus, a possible consequence of host choice.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 3, March 2025.The study expands genomic resources for Drosophila and Scaptodrosophila species by using mitochondrial genomes. Phylogenetic analyses revealed well‐supported evolutionary relationships, with Scaptodrosophila forming a distinct lineage and several Drosophila subgroups exhibiting monophyly, though discrepancies were found in the placement of the suzukii ...

EFSA Journal, Volume 22, Issue 12, December 2024.Abstract Five epidemiological aspects of ASF were evaluated using literature reviews, field studies, questionnaires and mathematical models. First, a literature review and a case–control study in commercial pig farms emphasised the importance of biosecurity and farming practices, including the spread of manure around farms and the use of bedding ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 10, October 2024.Land‐mark based geomorphometric wing analysis of Glossina morsitans populations in Zambia shows that this tsetse exhibit significant population‐level variation in fly size and wing shape suggesting high levels of population structuring. The main drivers of this structuring could be random genetic drift and local adaptation to environmental conditions ...

Revisiting the ecology and evolution of burying beetle behavior (Staphylinidae: Silphinae)
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2024.Burying beetles of the genus Nicrophorus are becoming a model system for the evolution of parental care. Investigating fundamental processes in biology requires the ability to ground broad questions in species‐specific natural history. Here, we leverage a developing community of researchers who have contributed to a detailed knowledge of burying ...
