Identifying conservation hotspots and assessing species commonness and rarity: Baseline arthropod diversity in German nature reserves via national Malaise trap monitoring

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Conducted a year‐long Malaise trap monitoring study across Germany, revealing 14,445 OTUs, including 8,589 assigned species, highlighting extensive small‐scale and largely undescribed diversity. Identified 17 invasive species, five of which are new records for Germany, underscoring the need for continuous monitoring to manage invasive species ...

Leveraging Biodiversity Net Gain to address invertebrate declines in England

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) is a new approach to infrastructural development in England, mandating that developers achieve a 10% BNG by enhancing and creating habitats. As currently implemented, BNG risks creating smaller, homogeneous, structurally simple and poorly connected habitats.

Species traits may predict extinction risk of Azorean endemic arthropods

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Ground‐dwelling endemic arthropods face a higher extinction risk due to habitat degradation and invasive plants. Canopy species may seem less threatened but still face extinction risks from habitat fragmentation. Body size and trophic group did not predict species threat levels.

A systematic review and meta‐analysis on urban arthropod diversity

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Our results evidence that urbanization is associated with a lower mean diversity of arthropods. We also detected a higher variance of arthropod diversity in urban than in rural habitats. Reported data suggest that cities hold a great potential for arthropod conservation if adequate measures are implemented. Abstract Urbanization is rapidly expanding at

Translocation of arthropods with Sphagnum biomass during the establishment of a Sphagnum cultivation site

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
We investigated the accidental translocation of arthropods with donor material during the establishment of a Sphagnum cultivation site. Although arthropods from 11 different orders were identified in the donor material, only Araneae, Coleoptera, and Hemiptera were found in significant numbers at the recipient site.

NOTES ON AMERICAN HEMIPTERA

The Canadian Entomologist, 1906
1. Aradus concinnus, Bergr.— Female: Fifth ventral segment as long in the middle as at the sides, with a transverse obtuse-angulated keel a little in front of the almost straight middle part of the apical margin, this keel at the ends coalescing with the apical margin, apial angles of the segment reaching a little beyond the slightly rounded apical ...

Towards DNA metabarcoding‐based haplotype for monitoring terrestrial arthropod communities

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
The wocDNA metabarcoding includes robust sampling, wocDNA genomic extraction and library preparation. High‐throughput sequencing (HTS) followed by bioinformatic processing for quality control. The creation of a community matrix from haplotypes for ecological diversity and phylogenetic analyses.

The quest for the best target genes for RNAi‐mediated pest control

Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
A major challenge for RNAi mediated pest control is the identification of the most effective RNAi target genes from the pool of ~37% of all genes that are essential. Effective RNAi target genes are predominantly highly conserved genes serving basic cellular functions such as protein degradation.
