Molecular phylogenetics illuminates the evolutionary history and hidden diversity of Australian cave crickets (Orthoptera: Rhaphidophoridae)

open access: yesSystematic Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 4, Page 975-987, October 2025.
A fossil‐calibrated phylogeny of Rhaphidophoridae revealed Australia at the centre of the radiation of the Southern Hemisphere subfamily Macropathinae, with the Australian biota consisting of at least five separate lineages. Crown‐Macropathinae originated in the Lower Cretaceous (ca.

Digging for answers: contributions of density- and frequency-dependent factors on ectoparasite burden in a social mammal [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Due to the density-dependent nature of parasite transmission parasites are generally assumed to constrain the evolution of sociality. However, evidence for a correlation between group size and parasite burden is equivocal, particularly for mammals.

Range‐restricted species are poor proxies for functional diversity in the world's largest avifauna

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, Volume 7, Issue 9, September 2025.
We assessed the relationship between avian taxonomic richness (four metrics) and functional diversity (three metrics) across Colombia, the country with the most bird species. We found total species richness and threatened species richness to be suitable proxies for both functional richness and evenness. Protecting the eastern slope of the Eastern Andes

Response Mode Choice in a Multimodally Duetting Paleotropical Pseudophylline Bushcricket

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2018
Females of the pseudophylline bushcricket species Onomarchus uninotatus respond to a conspecific acoustic call with bouts of tremulation, followed by phonotaxis in some cases. This tremulation sends out a vibratory signal that propagates along the branch

Sensing of Substrate Vibrations in the Adult Cicada Okanagana rimosa (Hemiptera: Cicadidae) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Detection of substrate vibrations is an evolutionarily old sensory modality and is important for predator detection as well as for intraspecific communication. In insects, substrate vibrations are detected mainly by scolopidial (chordotonal) sense organs

Evolutionary implications of a deep‐time perspective on insect pollination

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 4, Page 1452-1466, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Plant pollination by insects represents one of the most transformative and iconic ecological relationships in the natural world. Despite tens of thousands of papers, as well as numerous books, on pollination biology published over the past 200 years, most studies focused on the fossil record of pollinating insects have only been published in ...

Climate‐induced upslope shift of orthopteran herbivores imposes greater herbivory through trait complementarity

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 7, Page 1774-1785, July 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The asynchronous upward shift of insect herbivores and plants towards higher elevations following climate warming is anticipated to generate novel plant–insect interactions.

Using Smartphones to Determine Hummingbird Dominance Networks in Quinde Ecotourist‐Route, Ecuador

open access: yesBiotropica, Volume 57, Issue 4, July 2025.
Hummingbird aggression networks and a hierarchical meta‐network were built with dominance interactions recorded with smartphone videos in artificial hummingbird feeders in the Quinde Eco Route in Ecuador, and calculating David's scores with wins and loss rates.
