Determining Terminal Velocities of Selected Insects and Substitute Materials to Develop Future Test Procedures for Insect‐Friendly Mowing Technology

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Agricultural grasslands are vital habitats for insects that provide key ecosystem services. However, conventional rotary mowers are proposed to cause significant insect mortality due to the high rotational speed of their blades and the resulting airflow.

Development of a non‐lethal stomach content analysis method for freshwater eels: An empirical evaluation of the tube method for Anguilla marmorata

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Understanding the feeding habits of predatory fish is essential for unravelling food web structures and implementing conservation strategies in riverine ecosystems. However, conventional lethal stomach content analysis methods are not necessarily appropriate for long‐term dietary studies, particularly for threatened species, as they require ...

Large‐Scale Integrative Taxonomy of the Smallest Insects Reveals Astonishing Temperate Diversity (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea: Mymaridae)

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fairyflies (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea: Mymaridae) are a diverse but taxonomically understudied group of parasitoid wasps that attack the eggs of other insects. Being among the very smallest of all insects, they are often ignored in biodiversity surveys despite being one of the most abundant microhymenoptera in many habitats.

Investigation of the global transportation of Culicoides biting midges, vectors of livestock and equid arboviruses, from flower‐packing plants in Kenya

open access: yesMedical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Arboviral diseases spread by Culicoides biting midges have been introduced into Europe by unknown means. A possible route is the carriage of midges with cut flowers shipped to flower markets. We sampled Culicoides in and around a cut flower farm in Kenya; midges were caught in the vicinity and a greenhouse, but not where flowers are processed.
