Differential gene expression toward species of Aristolochia impairing the performance of the Troidini butterfly Battus polydamas

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 173, Issue 7, Page 696-707, July 2025.
We studied the response of Battus polydamas (Papilionidae) larvae fed on Aristolochia ringens (containing several diterpenes) and Aristolochia gigantea (containing sesquiterpenes and acyclic monoterpenoids but no diterpenoids or aristolochic acids). We assessed larval performance on fitness components such as survival and differential gene expression ...

Length–Dry Mass Relationships of Aquatic Insects: Geographic and Taxonomic Variation in a Digital Database

open access: yesFreshwater 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 ...

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

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 18, Issue 4, Page 510-525, July 2025.
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

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 18, Issue 4, Page 485-493, July 2025.
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.
