The magnitude of cryptic insect diversity in one tropical rainforest

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 18, Issue 6, Page 1163-1174, November 2025.
We detected 214 cryptic species out of a total of 2006 species (10.6%) examined from 22 focal insect taxa in 1500 ha tropical rainforest in Panama. The percentage of cryptic species varied greatly among assemblages (0%–19%), with half of the assemblages devoid of cryptic species and the highest proportions of cryptics in Pieridae and Formicidae ...

Evaluating the SPRING pollinator monitoring methods in Flanders (Belgium)

open access: yesEcological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 6, Issue 4, October–December 2025.
This study evaluated six methods for monitoring wild bees and hoverflies in Flanders, showing that pan traps were most effective for bees, while combining pan traps and transect walks best captured hoverfly diversity. Trap height, UV reflectance and seasonal variation strongly influenced sampling outcomes, highlighting the need for protocol refinement ...

Spatiotemporal Prediction of Ideal Butterfly Habitats in Kun‐Ming's Urban Green Areas: Enabled by Maxent and ArcGIS

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.
Using Maxent and ArcGIS with 22 SPSS–selected environmental parameters, this study analysed current butterfly distributions in Kunming's urban green spaces, predicted changes under three climate scenarios (1970–2000, 2030s, 2050s) and generated ecological sensitivity data.
