Where water meets rock: Ecological niches and diversity hotspots of hygropetric beetles in the Neotropics

open access: yesEcological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 3, Page 502-516, June 2026.
First continental‐scale synthesis of hygropetric beetle diversity and distribution across Neotropical highlands. Climatic and topographic gradients structure regional assemblages and niche overlap. Ecological convergence suggests adaptation to similar conditions across disjunct regions.

Recognition and Aggression of conspecific and heterospecific worker in Acromyrmex subterraneus subterraneus (Forel) (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)

open access: yesSociobiology, 2015
Aggressive behavior is important for social insects because it makes possible for the colony to defend itself and the offspring from the action of invasive species.

Who prefers the dark? Daily activity of dung beetles from an Amazonian region

open access: yesEcological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 3, Page 609-613, June 2026.
Daily activity patterns shape how dung beetle species coexist in Amazonian forests, revealing temporal niches that reduce competition and structure biodiversity. We compared species richness, abundance and assemblage composition of dung beetles sampled during day and night in a conserved terra‐firme forest in the Brazilian Amazon. Although richness and

Evolution of Peripheral Visual System in the Apoidea: A Role for Food Item Mobility?

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
Since larger compound eyes and ocelli altogether improve vision, one may expect that insects specialised in chasing very mobile resources possess such morphological optimisation. By analysing 77 species of bees and wasps, we have found that wasps had larger eyes, but not larger ocelli, than bees.

A nesting aggregation of the solitary bee Megachile atrata (Hymenoptera: Megachilidae) in the Philippines [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
A nesting aggregation of Megachile (Creightonella) atrata Smith in the Philippines comprised almost 300 active nests.  The bees in rapid flight resemble the hornet Vespa tropica Linnaeus. The nest structure is similar to that reported for M.

From flower buds to bolls: how cotton reproductive structures shape boll weevil development, reproduction and survival

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 5, Page 4576-4584, May 2026.
Female boll weevils feeding on flower buds promote reproduction regardless of their immature diet, whereas boll feeding increases lipid reserves and lifespan, revealing a nutrition‐driven trade‐off that sustains survival and reproduction in tropical boll weevil populations.

Wasp and Ant Nests: Who Really Protects Whom? New Insights From Amazonian Forests

open access: yesAustral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Studies of animal behaviour are often biased towards species that are large‐bodied or have broad geographic ranges, as these are easier to observe in nature. Consequently, our understanding of behavioural ecology is shaped by such biases, even though these studies have provided important insights.
