Machine Learning Quantifies Fine-Scale Hairiness in Shore Flies (Diptera: Ephydridae). [PDF]
J MorpholWe present an efficient, broadly applicable, and open source approach to quantifying micron scale features using a machine learning pixel classification workflow. Using this method, we assess microtrichial variation in semiaquatic Ephydridae species and compare the results to manual assessment.

Artificial Pond Habitats Placed in an Australian Berry Farm Support Invertebrate Diversity Including Pollinating Flies. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis study investigated whether small, artificial ponds deployed within a commercial farm can function as microhabitats supporting diverse invertebrate communities. We recorded 40 invertebrate taxa from nine orders utilising the ponds, including honey bees, lady beetles and spiders, as well as three species of eristaline hoverflies.

Life in Extreme Conditions: Diet and Condition of the Extremophile Fish <i>Aphanius almiriensis</i> (Teleostei: Cyprinodontiformes) in a Thermal Rheocrene Spring. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis study aims to answer some questions about the bioecological traits of an extremophile fish Aphanius almiriensis in order to understand how it can survive and colonize the extreme habitat conditions. To this end, some bioecological characteristics—condition, diet, and feeding strategy—of A. almiriensis inhabiting the Tuzla thermal spring, which has

Assessing the Relationship Between Macroinvertebrate Metrics and Fine Sediment Index for Ecological Biomonitoring in the Little Akaki River, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. [PDF]
Ecol EvolHabitat quality had a positive correlation with percentage of Ephemeroptera, percentage of EOT, and Shannon diversity index (r = 0.833, r = 0.880, and r = 0.939, respectively). PSI had positive correlation with number of taxa, and ASPT‐ETHbios (r = 0.819, and r = 0.798, respectively). Most sites were heavily sedimented.

Osteology of the Feeding Apparatus of Chilean Flamingo Phoenicopterus chilensis (Aves: Phoenicopteridae). [PDF]
J Morphol1. The skull features a broad, dorsoventrally flattened frontal region articulating with an elongated upper jaw that is complemented by the mandible's downward bend along its proximal half. 2. The low mechanical advantage in the mandible is attributed to the reduced and shallow insertion areas of the adductor muscles, which are positioned close to the ...

Complete mitochondrial genome of Hydrellia griseola (Diptera, Ephydridae). [PDF]
Mitochondrial DNA B Resour, 2017 The complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Hydrellia griseola has been reported in this study. This is the first sequenced complete mitogenome of the family Ephydridae. The complete mitogenome is 16,159 bp in length, including 13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNAs, 22 transfer RNAs, and a partial sequence of the AT-rich region, and the AT ...

The mitochondrial genome of Ilythea japonica (Diptera: Ephydridae) [PDF]
Mitochondrial DNA Part B, 2020 The mitogenome of Ilythea japonica was sequenced. The mitogenome was 16,256 bp totally, consisting of 13 protein-coding genes, two rRNAs, and 22 transfer RNAs. The nucleotide composition biases toward A and T is 77.1％ of the entirety. All PCGs start with ATN codons except COI and ND1, and end with TAA or incomplete stop codon.

Pathways for accidental biocontrol: The human-mediated dispersal of insect predators and parasitoids. [PDF]
Ecol ApplAbstract Introductions of insect predators and parasitoids for biological control are a key method for pest management. Yet in recent decades, biological control has become more strictly regulated and less frequent. Conversely, the rate of unintentional insect introductions through human activities is rising.
