Contribution to the knowledge of the jewel beetles (Coleoptera: Buprestidae) fauna of Kurdistan Province (Iran), Subfamilies Buprestinae and Agrilinae [PDF]

Iranian Journal of Animal Biosystematics, 2016
The results of faunistic survey of jewel beetles (Coleoptera: Buprestidae) carried out in Kurdistan Province of Iran are presented. 30 species belonging to two subfamilies (Buprestinae and Agrilinae) and 8 genera were collected. Of these 1 species is new

Zooplankton communities and their responses to fish presence and urban cover across garden and other urban ponds

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract As cities expand globally, the ratio of artificial to natural freshwater habitats is increasing. While public urban ponds have been the subject of an increasing number of biodiversity studies, the biota of garden ponds in private residential gardens, particularly their zooplankton communities, remain largely unknown. We tested whether smaller,

Effects of Forest Cover and Seasonality on Several Faunal Groups in Cattle Ranching Landscapes of Los Tuxtlas, Mexico

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 4, July 2026.
Forest cover within cattle ranches can strongly shape faunal biodiversity. In Los Tuxtlas, Veracruz, Mexico. We show that butterflies, moths, dung beetles, and birds respond differently to forest cover across habitats (pastures vs. forest fragments) and seasons, as a function of their specialization and resource needs.

Challenges and Advances Driving Studies on Aquatic Insects of the Order Coleoptera

Freshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Aquatic beetles (Coleoptera) are known for their high taxonomic and ecological diversity and their sensitivity to environmental changes, making them key bioindicators in ecological assessments. However, numerous knowledge gaps persist globally.

Metrics for Geometrids: Phylogenetic Diversity of European Sterrhinae (Geometridae, Lepidoptera)

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Phylogenetic diversity, structure and endemism of European Sterrhinae were investigated for the first time and interpreted in relation to species richness, latitude and mean annual temperature. Furthermore, ecological trait data for each species were analysed in a spatial context. Location Europe. Taxon Sterrhinae (Geometridae, Lepidoptera)

Faunistic survey of terrestrial isopods (Isopoda: Oniscidea) in the Boč Massif area

Natura Sloveniae, 2014
In 2005, terrestrial isopods were sampled in the Boč Massif area, eastern Slovenia, and their fauna compared at five different sampling sites: forest on dolomite, forest on limestone, thermophilous forest, young stage forest and extensive meadow.

Unveiling the Global Linnean Shortfall in Leptophlebiidae (Ephemeroptera, Insecta): Historical Trends and Conservation Implications

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Understanding how many species exist on Earth is a fundamental yet challenging question in biology, with significant implications for biodiversity conservation. The Linnean shortfall, or the gap in taxonomic knowledge, remains a major obstacle, particularly in highly diverse groups like insects. This study focuses on the family Leptophlebiidae

Assessment of the Biogeography and Molecular Phylogenetics of Sea Cucumbers (Echinodermata: Holothuroidea) in South Africa

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim The biogeography and evolution of South African sea cucumbers have been previously explored; however, these aspects lack detailed study. This study (1) explores the biogeography of sea cucumbers along the coastline of South Africa (SA) and (2) presents a preliminary molecular phylogeny based on the mitochondrial 16S marker.
