Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 17, Issue 5, Page 758-787, September 2024.Monitoring invertebrates in cereal fields in southern England over 50 years (1970–2019) showed an overall decline in abundance. For taxa at the order/family level, 47% declined in abundance, 16% increased and 37% showed no change. Most functional groups declined, expect for pollinators—whose abundance did not change overall.

Entomological Research, Volume 54, Issue 8, August 2024.Abstract Dung beetles are considered a key element in ecosystems as they are involved in many ecological processes, being one of the main decomposers of organic matter in the landscape. They can be classified into 3 subfamilies: Aphodiinae, Geotrupinae and Scarabaeinae, with each subfamily exhibiting specific adaptations and evolutionary strategies ...

Chewing through challenges: Exploring the evolutionary pathways to wood‐feeding in insects
BioEssays, Volume 46, Issue 5, May 2024.Abstract Decaying wood, while an abundant and stable resource, presents considerable nutritional challenges due to its structural rigidity, chemical recalcitrance, and low nitrogen content. Despite these challenges, certain insect lineages have successfully evolved saproxylophagy (consuming and deriving sustenance from decaying wood), impacting ...
