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.

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

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
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.
