KBAscope: key biodiversity area identification in R

open access: yesEcography, 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

open access: yesAnnals 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.

Neuromodulation and the toolkit for behavioural evolution: can ecdysis shed light on an old problem?

open access: yesThe 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 ...

Arthropod diversity in the alpine tundra using metabarcoding: Spatial and temporal differences in alpha‐ and beta‐diversity

open access: yesEcology 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

Formation of the entognathy of Dicellurata, Occasjapyx japonicus (Enderlein, 1907) (Hexapoda: Diplura, Dicellurata)

open access: yesSoil Organisms, 2011
The development of the entognathy in Dicellurata was examined using Occasjapyx japonicus (Enderlein, 1907). The formation of entognathy involves rotation of the labial appendages, resulting in a tandem arrangement of the glossa, paraglossa and labial ...

Zur Kenntnis der Collembolen in der Paläarktis (Insecta, Entognatha).

open access: yesBeiträge zur Entomologie = Contributions to Entomology, 2006
Für die Springschwänze (Collembola, Insecta) gibt es weder historisch noch aktuell einen Überblick über die Fauna der Paläarktis. Die taxonomische und faunistische Forschung erbrachte in den letzten Jahrzehnten einen sprunghaften Anstieg der Kenntnisse sowohl im europäischen als auch im asiatischen Teil.
