A new approach to investigate arthropod biodiversity in forest ecosystems, using meta‐barcoding on trap combinations

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 6, Issue 4, October–December 2025.
For biodiversity monitoring of arthropods with a limited additional fieldwork, our trap combination reduced the taxonomic bias in the local samples compared to other studies relying only on Malaise traps. This represented the orders of the local fauna better.

Species of Peckia Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 (Diptera: Sarcophagidae) occurring in an Atlantic Rainforest fragment, Bahia, Brazil: new records reported

Revista Chilena de Entomología
Insects of forensic importance can be attracted to crime scenes, thus aiding in the estimation of post-mortem interval (PMI). For this, knowledge about the entomofauna of each particular region is essential, along with their life cycle, ecological and ...

Silver gull carcasses host unique carrion insect communities on a nearshore island

Austral Entomology, Volume 64, Issue 3, August 2025.
Abstract Island ecosystems offer unique opportunities to study the dynamics of species that rely on ephemeral resources such as carrion. This study investigated the necrophagous insect communities associated with carrion of silver gulls (Chroicocephalus novaehollandiae) on a small nearshore island off the east coast of Australia, to assess how ...

Evolutionary implications of a deep‐time perspective on insect pollination

Biological 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 ...

Assessing predation pressure of Vespa velutina on local fauna through DNA metabarcoding

Journal of Zoology, Volume 326, Issue 4, Page 329-338, August 2025.
This study investigates the predation pressure exerted by the invasive yellow‐legged hornet (Vespa velutina) on native insect populations in Mallorca, using DNA metabarcoding to analyze their diet. Results reveal a diverse prey spectrum, including key insect groups such as Apidae (bees), Calliphoridae (blowflies), and Vespidae (wasps), with no ...

Identifying conservation hotspots and assessing species commonness and rarity: Baseline arthropod diversity in German nature reserves via national Malaise trap monitoring

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 18, Issue 4, Page 510-525, July 2025.
Conducted a year‐long Malaise trap monitoring study across Germany, revealing 14,445 OTUs, including 8,589 assigned species, highlighting extensive small‐scale and largely undescribed diversity. Identified 17 invasive species, five of which are new records for Germany, underscoring the need for continuous monitoring to manage invasive species ...

Amephana dalmatica (Rebel, 1919) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) found in the Nature Park “Golija”: A new species in the fauna of the Republic of Serbia [PDF]

Zbornik Matice Srpske za Prirodne Nauke
Inventorying the diversity of entomofauna is the first stage in a consistent approach to its conservation. The diversity of Lepidoptera in Serbia, although impressive in terms of the number of inventoried species, is far from complete.
