Larval morphology of three species of Hygrobiidae (Coleoptera: Adephaga: Dytiscoidea) with phylogenetic considerations

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2004
A provisional larval groundplan of the family Hygrobiidae is provided through descriptions of internal and external features of three of six extant species, Hygrobia hermanni (Fabricius, 1775), H. wattsi Hendrich 2001 and H.

Challenges and Advances Driving Studies on Aquatic Insects of the Order Coleoptera

open access: yesFreshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Aquatic beetles (Coleoptera) are known for their high taxonomic and ecological diversity and their sensitivity to environmental changes, making them key bioindicators in ecological assessments. However, numerous knowledge gaps persist globally.

Urbanisation Restructures but Does Not Reduce Freshwater Pond Biodiversity

open access: yesDiversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Urbanisation is a dominant driver of landscape change leading to widespread displacement, degradation and fragmentation of habitat for native species and numerous studies have documented loss of biodiversity in response. However, most studies focus on a small range of taxa (e.g., vertebrates, plants), leaving many other groups poorly ...

Where water meets rock: Ecological niches and diversity hotspots of hygropetric beetles in the Neotropics

open access: yesEcological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 3, Page 502-516, June 2026.
First continental‐scale synthesis of hygropetric beetle diversity and distribution across Neotropical highlands. Climatic and topographic gradients structure regional assemblages and niche overlap. Ecological convergence suggests adaptation to similar conditions across disjunct regions.

Fine‐Scale Ecological Biomonitoring in a Large, Complex Agriculturally Impacted Watershed via eDNA Metabarcoding

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 10, May 2026.
ABSTRACT DNA‐based approaches utilizing high‐throughput sequencing (HTS) (e.g., DNA metabarcoding) have revolutionized ecological biomonitoring by providing higher sample throughput, greater reproducibility, and better cost‐benefits compared to traditional morphology‐based bioassessment studies.

A deep dive into the fossil record of diving beetles (Coleoptera: Dytiscidae): Bayesian inferences elucidate their origin and pulsed diversification at the genus level

open access: yesPalaeontology, Volume 69, Issue 3, 2026.
Abstract Predaceous diving beetles (Dytiscidae) are among the best‐known and most extensively studied beetle clades. Their fossil record, however, remains surprisingly sparse and uneven, failing to reflect their broad extant diversity. Consequently, the study of their evolutionary history, leveraging the fossil record, particularly their ...
