A systematic review and meta‐analysis on urban arthropod diversity
Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 18, Issue 4, Page 447-464, July 2025.Our results evidence that urbanization is associated with a lower mean diversity of arthropods. We also detected a higher variance of arthropod diversity in urban than in rural habitats. Reported data suggest that cities hold a great potential for arthropod conservation if adequate measures are implemented. Abstract Urbanization is rapidly expanding at

New records of Protura (Entognatha, Arthropoda) from Romania, with an identification key to the Romanian species [PDF]
ZooKeys, 2016 The Romanian Protura were studied based on 175 specimens collected from Romania, along with bibliographic data. The main publication on the Romanian proturans was written by M.A. Ionescu (1951), who described 13 species mainly from soil and forest litter from 15 collecting points. The current paper represents the first study at a national level. Faunal

Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2025.Abstract Communities of soil insects in tropical rainforests are among the richest and most complex, but the mechanisms structuring them remain mostly unknown. Identifying whether nutrient availability plays a relevant role in the assembly of these communities poses several challenges due to the diverse nutritional requirements of insects.

KBAscope: key biodiversity area identification in R
Ecography, Volume 2024, Issue 9, September 2024.Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) represent the largest global network of sites critical to the persistence of biodiversity, which have been identified against standardised quantitative criteria. Sites that hold very high biodiversity value or potential are given specific attention on site‐based conservation targets of the Kunming‐Montreal Global ...

Comparison of water and terrestrial jumping in natural and robotic insects
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Volume 1537, Issue 1, Page 13-31, July 2024.Jumping of small creatures demands high power to surpass size‐related speed limits. They employ various mechanisms to amplify power release. Furthermore, semi‐aquatic jumpers use specialized techniques to maximize the momentum transfer from the water.

Insecta. La búsqueda de la clasificación perfecta Insecta. Searching for the perfect classification
Revista de la Sociedad Entomológica Argentina, 2005 RESUMEN. La historia de la clasificación de los insectos es analizada desde el punto de vista de sus relaciones externas (e.g., Unirramia, Mandibulata, Atelocerata, Pancrustacea) e internas (e.g., Hexapoda, Insecta, Entognatha, Ectognatha, Dicondylia ...

Neuromodulation and the toolkit for behavioural evolution: can ecdysis shed light on an old problem?
The FEBS Journal, Volume 291, Issue 6, Page 1049-1079, March 2024.Altered neuromodulatory signalling via GPCRs frequently underlies evolutionary changes in behaviour. GPCRs and their ligands might thus represent a ‘toolkit’ akin to the Evo‐Devo toolkit responsible for animal development. Just as evolutionary changes in the Evo‐Devo toolkit can alter gene regulatory network function and morphology, changes in ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2024.Our study examines the alpha‐ and beta‐diversity of arthropods in the Arctic‐alpine biomes of the Scandes using environmental DNA (eDNA)/metabarcoding. We found that micro‐climatological parameters such as air/soil temperature and soil moisture significantly influence the arthropod community structure, highlighting the fine‐scale heterogeneity of these
