Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 8, August 2025.In this study we investigated the macroinvertebrate (MI) communities in two newly created, man‐made ponds concurrently with the diet of captive‐bred European pond turtles that were translocated there. We aimed at assessing whether turtles were operating as generalist feeders, and if successive reintroductions of turtles would affect the overall MI ...

Strategies, costs and counter‐strategies to sexual coercion
Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 4, Page 1557-1577, August 2025.ABSTRACT Sexual conflict, the conflict between the evolutionary interests of females and males over mating, occasionally results in the evolution of traits favourable for one sex and adverse for the other. In this context, males can use sexual coercion to increase their mating success, at the expense of their female targets' mate choice.

, 2017 FAMILY GERRIDAE LEACH AXEL O. BACHMANN AND SILVIA A. MAZZUCCONI Gerridae is the second richest family of semiaquatic bugs in Argentina, with 18 described species in 11 genera. Andersen (1982) classified the Gerridae in eight subfamilies, of which Charmatometrinae, Cylindrostethinae, Gerrinae, Halobatinae, Rhagadotarsinae, and Trepobatinae are ...

Freshwater Biology, Volume 70, Issue 7, July 2025.ABSTRACT Aquatic insects are an abundant, yet declining, taxonomically heterogeneous group with special importance in both aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. Accurate estimations of insect biomass during their aquatic life stages are essential to advance our fundamental knowledge about insects, their roles in ecosystems, and their vulnerability to ...

Limnology and Oceanography Letters, Volume 10, Issue 3, Page 371-380, June 2025.Abstract The Cofán communities rely on the Cofán Bermejo Ecological Reserve for their survival and cultural practices. Due to the rugged and inaccessible topography of the reserve in the Northern Ecuadorian Amazon region, limited biomonitoring and ecological characterization studies of the ecosystem health have been conducted.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 5, May 2025.Exceptionally elongated antennae are common in male longhorned beetles (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae), but their function and evolution are poorly understood. Through scanning electron microscopy and antennal morphometrics of multiple Anoplistes species (Cerambycidae), our study revealed that elongate antennae are more likely adaptive for close‐range ...

Journal of Morphology, Volume 286, Issue 5, May 2025.In this study, we provide a detailed description of the embryonic development of Appasus japonicus, focusing on the formation of its specialized mouthparts. We identify homologies between the maxillary plate and maxillary palp and most parts of the stylet‐like mandibles and maxillae are housed within the labial palp.
