The Hidden Diptera Diversity in Aristolochia Trap‐Flowers: Revealing the Identity of Pollinators Through Taxonomic Knowledge

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 10, Page 1502-1512, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Although Diptera is one of the most diverse insect orders with a high potential for pollinating plants, it remains poorly studied and neglected. This is partly due to limited taxonomic efforts in species identification. For instance, despite being primary pollinators of trap flowers, species‐level identification in these systems remains scarce.

Determinants of mating success in a lek‐mating species

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 27, Issue 4, Page 643-652, November 2025.
Abstract Leks are male‐biased aggregations formed for mating, where sperm is the only resource acquired by visiting females. One of the many advantages of leks is the possibility to efficiently assess the quality of potential mates by comparing aggregated individuals of the same sex with one another. When direct mate choice occurs in a lekking species,

First detailed records of water mite larvae (Hydrachnidia: Hydrovolzidae, Hydryphantidae) parasitizing empidid flies (Diptera: Empididae: Clinocerinae)

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2020
Five species of the subfamily Clinocerinae from the Tatra Mountains (S Poland) were observed to be parasitized by larval water mites. Two of them: Kowarzia plectrum Mik, 1880 and Clinocera storchi Mik, 1880 are recorded from this massif for the first ...

Length–Dry Mass Relationships of Aquatic Insects: Geographic and Taxonomic Variation in a Digital Database

Freshwater Biology, Volume 70, Issue 7, July 2025.
ABSTRACT Aquatic insects are an abundant, yet declining, taxonomically heterogeneous group with special importance in both aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. Accurate estimations of insect biomass during their aquatic life stages are essential to advance our fundamental knowledge about insects, their roles in ecosystems, and their vulnerability to ...

Freshwater Macroinvertebrate Community Responses to Drying Reflect Abiotic Stress, Frequency of Prior Drying and Proximity to a Perennial Reach

Freshwater Biology, Volume 70, Issue 4, April 2025.
ABSTRACT Intermittent streams dominate global river networks and are becoming increasingly common due to global change. Understanding the mechanisms by which freshwater biota respond to flow recession, drying, and intermittence is therefore important to our ability to support biodiversity as ecosystems adapt to ongoing stressors.

Evaluating Ecosystem and Agronomic Services Provided by Companion Cropping in Hemp (Cannabis sativa L.)

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 4, Issue 1, March 2025.
ABSTRACT Hemp, Cannabis sativa L., was legalized in the United States in the 2018 Farm Bill for industrial production. While growing has boomed, profitable agronomic practices lag behind in the infant industry. Growers are specifically interested in weed and pest management strategies that do not impact yield or quality, as there are few herbicide and ...
