Lords of the flies: dipteran migrants are diverse, abundant and ecologically important

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Insect migrants are hugely abundant, with recent studies identifying the megadiverse order Diptera as the major component of many migratory assemblages. Despite this, their migratory behaviour has been widely overlooked in favour of more ‘charismatic’ migrant insects such as butterflies, dragonflies, and moths.

Effects of land cover and protected areas on flying insect diversity

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Widespread insect losses are a critical global problem. Mitigating this problem requires identifying the principal drivers across different taxa and determining which insects are covered by protected areas. However, doing so is hindered by missing information on most species owing to extremely high insect diversity and difficulties in ...

Effects of a temperate heatwave on diel rhythms of insect activity: A comparison across habitats

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Counts of insects caught in pan traps in Norfolk, UK, exhibited a unimodal relationship with air temperature – a pattern also observed specifically for the orders Diptera and Hymenoptera. A temperate heatwave event reduced insect counts in the open meadow habitat by an estimated 81.9%, with smaller, non‐significant decreases observed in tree‐covered ...

Salicylate plant defences reduce aphid nutritional quality and increase predator consumption

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Salicylic acid‐induced defences diminish Macrosiphum euphorbiae performance and nutritional quality by reducing body protein and lipid content. Ladybird beetle predators (Hippodamia convergens) consumed more low‐quality aphids compared to high‐quality aphids, exhibiting compensatory feeding response to nutrient‐deficient p prey.

No genetic differentiation among populations up to 300 km apart in three species of carrion beetles

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Habitat fragmentation threatens biodiversity by disrupting gene flow; understanding species' dispersal abilities is key to determining whether they are limited by habitat or mobility. Carrion beetles show no significant population genetic structure across up to 320 km, indicating high dispersal ability and unrestricted gene flow.

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 ...
