Identifying appropriate sampling and modelling approaches for analysing distributional patterns of Antarctic terrestrial arthropods along the Victoria Land latitudinal gradient [PDF]
, 2010 Biotic communities in Antarctic terrestrial ecosystems are relatively simple and often lack higher trophic levels (e. g. predators); thus, it is often assumed that species' distributions are mainly affected by abiotic factors such as climatic conditions,

On springtails (Hexapoda: Collembola): A morphofunctional study of the jumping apparatus
Frontiers in Zoology, 2022 Abstract Background Springtails (Hexapoda: Collembola) are tiny organisms that lead a hidden life, mostly occuring deep in the soil and on leaf litter. They have a variety of interesting body morphology patterns, the most famous of which is the catapult-like structure that enables them to jump and flee from predators.

Insects and Survival: A Review of Primary and Secondary Defense Strategies
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 7, Page 601-624, July 2026.Based on a review of three decades of literature, insect defense mechanisms are classified into primary (I) and secondary (II) mechanisms of behavioral, morphological, and chemical nature. These mechanisms have been recorded in 22 (I) and 20 (II) orders, respectively.

Climate Resilience and Sustainability, Volume 5, Issue 1, June 2026.A spatial representation of the potential ‘adaptation effort’ that might be needed to maintain at least 75% of the species modelled in Biebrza National Park, Poland (white outline), at 1.5°C. The darker the green shading, the less adaptation would be needed.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.This study identifies and characterizes the genes encoding cohesin and condensin complexes across Symphytan superfamilies, revealing their structural and functional roles with conserved motifs in maintaining genome stability. Phylogenetic analyses indicate that SMC genes originated from ancient duplication events, with notable gene loss (e.g., CAPG2 ...
