Preliminary Study on Host Use and Phylogenetic Analysis of <i>Corethrella nippon</i> in Taiwan. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis study evaluated a new frog‐calling trap in Taiwan that successfully collected the species of Culicidae and Corethrellidae and identified host preferences, with Corethrellidae most frequently associated with Odorrana swinhoana and Kurixalus eiffingeri (mostly attracted to ~2022 Hz calls).

Comparative Analysis of Fungal Spore Flora Among Birds, Insects and Air in a Temperate Japanese Forest. [PDF]
Ecol EvolBirds, insects and air each host distinct fungal spore communities in a Japanese temperate forest; birds and insects act as selective vectors, while air provides maximal diversity. Our study highlights the importance of analysing multiple taxa to understand ecosystem‐level fungal spore dispersal and interactions.

Fly me to the canopy: Diptera communities in oak forest crowns as bioindicators of stand decline
Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.Diptera diversity: Oak decline increases the overall Diptera diversity, particularly in saproxylic and floricolous guilds, likely due to more open canopies and greater deadwood and floral resource availability. Family responses: Dolichopodidae, Empididae, Hybotidae and Anthomyiidae thrive in declining stands, whereas Mycetophilidae and other fungus ...

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The use of insectary plants to provide alternative food and shelter resources for enhancing natural enemy activity has been established as a common practice in IPM. Candidate flowering plant species have been screened and evaluated for their contribution to enhance life parameters of beneficial insects.

Strong diel variation in the activity of insect taxa sampled by Malaise traps
Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 3, Page 533-546, June 2026.Malaise traps sampled different communities during mornings (06:00–12:00), afternoons (12:00–16:00), evenings (18:00–22:00), and nights (22:00–06:00), highlighting the difference in diel rhythm between taxa. The highest diversity and abundance of insects were found during afternoons, the lowest diversity during night, and the lowest abundance during ...

Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 188, Issue 3, Page 875-888, May 2026.This study demonstrates the ecological value of natural regeneration in the Brazilian Cerrado by analysing the biomass, richness and trophic structure of leaf litter insects across pasture (P), regenerating (R) and native (N) areas. We found that R areas supported insect communities more similar to N habitats than to Ps, with higher richness, greater ...

Forest type influence on Heliconia‐dipteran interaction networks
Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 3, Page 660-674, May 2026.Responses to forest type depended on the developmental stage of dipterans. Bract traits and forest type influenced larval abundance, but forest type had no impact on adult alpha and beta diversity. Heliconia‐dipteran interaction networks showed a nested pattern for both forest types.

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 4, Page 1950-1965, April 2026.ABSTRACT Plant defensins (PDFs) are cysteine‐rich antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) that are important components of plant immunity. They occur constitutively in various plant tissues but are also upregulated upon stress. Therefore, these molecules are of great interest as markers for the diagnosis of early forest stress response in plants at the molecular

Plant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 3, Page 924-938, April 2026.Drying processes in the Brazilian palm swamps or Veredas, impact the gall community in adjacent vegetation by reducing the abundance of more sensitive galls, while more resilient galls acclimate to increased dryness by developing thicker protective tissues. Abstract Galls are new plant organs formed in response to the stimuli of gall‐inducing organisms,

Phylogenomics illuminates the complex evolutionary history of Bibionomorpha (Diptera)
Systematic Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 2, April‐June 2026.Phylogenomics supports Bibionomorpha (Anisopodoidea, Bibionoidea, Scatopsoidea, Sciaroidea) as a sister to Brachycera, and Axymyiidae and Perissommatidae as a sister to Bibionomorpha + Brachycera. Phylogenetic network analysis tentatively suggests a possible reticulation leading to Bolitophilidae, and mitochondrial data support sex‐specific ...
