Ecology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 3, March 2022., 2022 In this article, we assessed the differences in diet estimates and potential ecological and economic impact measurements according to the section of the gastrointestinal tract (stomach, small and large intestine) analysed. We aimed to test which section(s) provided a better diet representation and putative impact of a common inland invader.

Ecology, Volume 103, Issue 2, February 2022., 2022 Abstract Understanding the mechanisms that drive the change of biotic assemblages over space and time is the main quest of community ecology. Assessing the relative importance of dispersal and environmental species selection in a range of organismic sizes and motilities has been a fruitful strategy.

A molecular‐based identification resource for the arthropods of Finland
Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 22, Issue 2, Page 803-822, February 2022., 2022 Abstract To associate specimens identified by molecular characters to other biological knowledge, we need reference sequences annotated by Linnaean taxonomy. In this study, we (1) report the creation of a comprehensive reference library of DNA barcodes for the arthropods of an entire country (Finland), (2) publish this library, and (3) deliver a new ...

Molecular Ecology, Volume 30, Issue 23, Page 5935-5948, December 2021., 2021 Abstract The technological ability to characterize genetic variation at a genome‐wide scale provides an unprecedented opportunity to study the genetic underpinnings and evolutionary mechanisms that promote and sustain biodiversity. The transition from short‐ to long‐read sequencing is particularly promising and allows a more holistic view on any ...

Diversity, ecology, distribution and biogeography of Diplura
Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 14, Issue 4, Page 415-425, July 2021., 2021 Diplura is the sister group to insects. The order is divided into 10 families, which include 1009 species in 141 genera, with a high proportion of monotypic genera. Diplura depends on high humidity and moderate temperatures, are presumably very sensitive to anthropogenic pressures and climate change, and a suitable model for ecophysiological studies ...

Assessing climatic and intrinsic factors that drive arthropod diversity in bird nests
Gayana, 2020 Bird nests are specialized structures that act as microrefuge and a source of food for arthropods. Nest arthropod richness and composition may vary according to the nest builder, geographical location and nest size.

Exceptional endemicity of Aotearoa New Zealand biota shows how taxa dispersal traits, but not phylogeny, correlate with global species richness. [PDF]
J R Soc N ZABSTRACT Species’ with more limited dispersal and consequently less gene flow are more likely to form new spatially segregated species and thus contribute disproportionally to endemic biota and global species richness. Aotearoa New Zealand has exceptional endemicity, with 52% of its 54,000 named species endemic, including 32%, 39% and 68% for ...

Parthenogenesis in Hexapoda: Entognatha and non-holometabolous insects
Journal of Zoological Systematics and Evolutionary Research, 2016 In hexapods, unlike the majority of animals, development without fertilization is a common phenomenon. They evolved a striking diversity of unisexual reproductive types that include a variety of modes starting from spontaneous parthenogenesis in females to the production of impaternate males with different variants in between.

Micro-terraforming by Antarctic springtails (Hexapoda: Entognatha) [PDF]
Journal of Natural History, 2015 ABSTRACTIt has long been an axiom of Antarctic terrestrial ecology that interactions between terrestrial invertebrates and their abiotic environment are unidirectional: they are affected by their extreme environment in numerous ways, but they themselves do not affect their environment.
