Large Regional Variation in Global Impacts of Agriculture on Terrestrial Insects and Other Arthropods

Global Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 3, September 2026.
We show that impacts of agriculture on arthropod biodiversity are notably less negative in Europe than in other regions, which we find is driven by a degraded baseline, a selection bias of reference sites, and novel species compositions in agriculture that favour widespread habitat generalists and non‐native species.

The Cephalic Morphology of Protopselaphus—A Phylogenetic Connecting Link in Staphylinidae (Coleoptera)

Journal of Morphology, Volume 287, Issue 9, September 2026.
The head morphology including soft tissues of an ethanol‐preserved specimen of Protopselaphus was examined using synchrotron‐µCT and SEM and interpreted with respect to their possible phylogenetic implications. Our findings strongly support the monophyly of Protopselaphinae + Pselaphinae, with adult cephalic synapomorphies including the vertical ...

Comparative Morphology and Mechanics of Aquatic and Terrestrial Feeding Salamanders

Journal of Morphology, Volume 287, Issue 9, September 2026.
Jaw muscle size, bite force, and skull strength are driven by multiple factors, not just the difference between the two habitats. Necturus produces higher bite forces than Salamandra, but the stress distribution is less even in Necturus, suggesting Salamandra's skull shape is better adapated to resist feeding loads.

Ecological Reasons for the Unusually High Rate of Gastropod Drill Hole Repair in the Deep‐Sea Brachiopod Abyssothyris wyvillei From New Zealand

New Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research, Volume 60, Issue 3, September 2026.
Brachiopods are able to repair drill holes made in their shells by predatory gastropods. However, in most samples examined, drill hole repair is rare to absent: Presumably the drilling attack is usually fatal to the prey. The shells of short‐looped brachiopod Abyssothyris wyvillei, from deep‐sea dredge samples from two localities in the Tasman Sea, New

Social‐ecological sustainability of olive farming in the Mediterranean: A review of current practices and an agroecological perspective

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 9, Page 2952-2967, September 2026.
Abstract Olive farming represents a prime example of a biodiversity‐rich land‐use system in the Mediterranean, deeply rooted in a long history and cultural traditions, yet it faces mounting challenges from climate change, biodiversity loss, and declining economic viability that put its sustainability at risk.
