Zoologica Scripta, Volume 51, Issue 6, Page 724-740, November 2022., 2022 Abstract The Cape Floristic Region in the Republic of South Africa is a well‐recognized hotspot of biodiversity. Although this region is mostly known for its high level of plant diversity and endemicity, it also hosts an understudied and likely diverse arthropod fauna.

Advanced Science, Volume 9, Issue 26, September 15, 2022., 2022 Interference in structurally ordered materials gives rise to brilliant colors in nature while disorder is thought to destroy color. Yet, many insects employ quasi‐ordered structures to generate brilliant colors. Here, the order–disorder interplay in the biophotonic materials of an Easter Egg weevil is demonstrated through 3D electron‐microscopy‐based ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 3, March 2022., 2022 We investigate if genomic bacterial and laboratory contamination is introduced into ultraconserved element (UCE) probe design from five novel Coleoptera museum specimens. Our findings indicate that even very clean samples have contamination that is carried into the UCE probe design.

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 28, Issue 1, Page 4-24, January 2022., 2022 Abstract Aim Holm oak (Quercus ilex L.) is regarded as a keystone plant species. Trophic interactions may affect the distribution and abundance of phytophagous species, but the number of arthropod species that use holm oak as a food resource and their levels of host specificity are not yet known.

Systematic Entomology, Volume 46, Issue 4, Page 784-797, October 2021., 2021 We addressed the numbers, kinds and evolution of cerambycid plant cell wall degrading enzymes (PCWDEs) by surveying larval midgut transcriptomes from 23 species representing six of the eight recognized subfamilies of Cerambycidae. We identified 340 new putative PCWDEs belonging to ten carbohydrate active enzyme families, including two gene families ...

Pest categorisation of Phlyctinus callosus
EFSA Journal, Volume 19, Issue 8, August 2021., 2021 Abstract The EFSA Panel on Plant Health performed a pest categorisation of Phlyctinus callosus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) for the EU territory. This species is not included in EU Commission Implementing Regulation 2019/2072. P. callosus is a polyphagous pest native to South Africa which has spread to Australia and New Zealand, Reunion and St Helena ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 11, Issue 11, Page 5950-5965, June 2021., 2021 Arachnids are the most abundant land predators. Despite the importance of their functional roles as predators and the of necessity to understand their diet for conservation and nutrient fluxes, there is a small amount of work on trophic ecology in this group of arachnids.
