Cladistics, EarlyView.Abstract Automated insect identification systems hold significant value for biodiversity monitoring, pest management, citizen science initiatives and systematic studies, particularly in an era of declining expertise in insect taxonomy. However, current deep learning approaches often rely on standardized specimen photos from limited‐angles and ...

Cladistics, EarlyView.Abstract We present a morphology‐based backbone phylogeny of Cerambycidae beetles inferred by parsimony analyses using 77 adult characters scored for 101 species. This phylogeny is largely consistent with recent phylogenomic studies regarding key placements (e.g., Parandrini stat. rev. within Prioninae, Necydalini stat. rev.

A robust method for mapping refugial capacity in montane forests
Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.We developed a refugial capacity analysis to guide management strategies to protect montane forests that will be relatively buffered from disturbances. Through sensitivity analyses, we found that our approach was robust to uncertainty in thresholds and climate forecasts, consistently identifying refugia across the landscape in similar locations and ...

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.We assessed attraction of eight elaterid species to a “generic” pheromone blend containing their eight known pheromones or sex attractants. All eight species were attracted by their specific attractants, as expected. Six species were attracted to the blend, but the remaining two species were strongly inhibited by unknown blend components.

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.In this study we measured the impact of access to sugar and hosts on the longevity and fecundity of six Trichogramma species: T. cacoeciae, T. chilonis, T. minutum, T. leptoparameron, T. pintoi and T. sibericum. The impact of food differed among species, but there was a general tendency of increased life expectancy and potential fecundity with sugar ...

Landscape and Geography Determine Saproxylic Beetle Captures in Pheromone‐Baited Traps
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.Pheromone‐baited traps at 39 forest sites across southern Sweden captured 58 saproxylic beetle species, including seven Red‐listed taxa. The effect of surrounding forest cover on beetle abundance may depend on latitude and longitude: positive effects were strongest in warmer southern and eastern regions but weakened or reversed in colder northwestern ...
