The Diverse Reactions of Butterflies and Zygaenids (Lepidoptera) to Climate Change—A Large Scale, Multi‐Species Study

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 34, Issue 9, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim An extensive dataset was used to decipher the different responses of 46 species of butterflies and Zygaenids (Lepidoptera) to climate change. The study included more than 1.5 million observations from four databases in Europe, with a south–north extension of about 1200 km from south‐eastern France, via Switzerland and Baden‐Württemberg ...

Dung beetles, but not rodents, contribute to brown bear feces removal, disaggregation, and secondary seed dispersal

Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2025.
Abstract Seed dispersal by endozoochory is essential to plant dynamics, but once released in the feces, the seeds face a hostile environment that is not always favorable to germination. Indeed, feces may contain inhibitors, have high seed density, and be densely structured.

Aedes albopictus Is Rapidly Invading Its Climatic Niche in France: Wider Implications for Biting Nuisance and Arbovirus Control in Western Europe

Global Change Biology, Volume 31, Issue 8, August 2025.
Aedes albopictus is invading Western Europe, causing autochthonous cases of arboviral diseases. Through a mechanistic modeling framework, we simulated the impacts of climate changes on the extension of the area environmentally suitable for the presence of this vector and for the transmission of arboviruses.

Comparison of SD Bioline Malaria Ag Pf/Pan and Acro Malaria P.f./P.v./Pan with Microscopy and Real Time PCR for the Diagnosis of Human Plasmodium Species

Diagnostics
The early diagnosis of malaria is crucial to controlling morbidity and mortality. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends diagnosing malaria either using light microscopy or a malaria rapid diagnostic test (RDT). Most RDTs use antibodies to detect

Plant Communities in the Americas Are Highly Bee Dependent Regardless of Biome or Local Bee Diversity

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 34, Issue 8, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim All bees depend on angiosperms for survival, while many angiosperms depend on bees for reproduction. However, bee and flowering plant species richness do not peak in the same geographical regions of the world, suggesting that the flora in regions where bees are not as diverse, such as the tropics, may be relatively less bee‐dependent.

Direct and Indirect Effect via Endophytism of Entomopathogenic Fungi on the Fitness of Myzus persicae and Its Ability to Spread PLRV on Tobacco

Insects, 2021
Aphids are major crop pests that transmit more than half of all insect-vectored plant viruses responsible for high yield losses worldwide. Entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) are biological control agents mainly used by foliar application to control herbivores,

INSECT LIFE AND LETTERS: THE STUDIES OF HANNS HEINZ EWERS AND OTTO AND ROSE HECHT

German Life and Letters, Volume 78, Issue 3, Page 342-363, July 2025.
ABSTRACT This article argues that vast histories of war and displacement in the twentieth century are connected to the small and almost unnoticeable lives of insects, and that philology has much to gain from paying attention to insect worlds. We examine two case studies: the work of the German entomologist Otto Hecht and his wife, Rose Caro Hecht, and ...

High Temporal Beta‐Diversity of Pollinators in Early Successional Forests After Windthrow

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 6, June 2025.
We described the temporal dynamics of vascular plants and pollinating insects by sampling the same windthrow sites after 3 and 5 years from a major storm event in the Italian Alps. Pollinator communities exhibited high temporal β‐diversity, while the understory plant community changed the least.
