A New Species of Tokoriro in the Genus Insulanoplectron Richards (Orthoptera: Rhaphidophoridae) from Rakiura/Stewart Island

New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 1, March 2026.
Five monotypic genera of Rhaphidophoridae have been described from remote islands located south and east of New Zealand's South Island and surrounded by ocean for at least 100 km in all directions. These genera are Novoplectron Richards, 1958 from Chatham Islands; Ischyroplectron Hutton, 1896 from Bounty Islands; Notoplectron Richards, 1964 from ...

Carboniferous fossils enlighten the systematics and evolution of Hemiptera

Papers in Palaeontology, Volume 12, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Abstract Fossils are witnesses to the evolutionary processes undergone by living lineages. The earliest occurrence of clades provides rich insights into the timing of diversification of lineages and better delimits the groups that compose them. Hemiptera are a remarkable order within the insects due to their high morphological and ecological diversity.

Aquatic Biodiversity of the Pampa Biome: Insights From a Scientometric and Systematic Perspective

Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT The Pampa biome, in South America, covers parts of Brazil, Uruguay, and Argentina. Its main characteristic is the predominance of grassland areas. The Pampa biome supports high biological diversity and a wide variety of ecosystems. In this study, we provide a comprehensive overview of biodiversity studies focusing on freshwater ecosystems of ...

Toward a global repository of insect traits (GRIT)

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 2, Page 253-267, March 2026.
Biodiversity loss is accelerating, yet insect conservation is hindered by the absence of a centralised, comprehensive trait database. We propose the GRIT, a FAIR, open‐access platform uniting datasets and collaborators worldwide. GRIT will harness advanced computational tools for trait acquisition and imputation, enabling large‐scale ecological ...

Geographic Variation in the Diet of Red Knot (Calidris canutus) Chicks Reflects Local Prey Communities

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim To describe and compare the diets of an Arctic‐breeding shorebird, the Red Knot (Calidris canutus), across three geographically distinct breeding sites. We aimed to document the dietary patterns and identify key prey groups that characterise each population's foraging ecology.

Morphological and biomechanical adaptations of larval mandibles in Trichoptera (Insecta)

Physiological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, Page 85-114, March 2026.
Mandible morphology differs between predators and grazers: predators show pointed incisors, grazers sharp edges and setae. Mechanical properties depend on cuticle tanning, not elemental reinforcement. Functional mandible types reflect feeding strategies, with predators specialized for prey capture and grazers for scraping and collecting.

Biodiversity and its restoration in limestone quarries: a review

Restoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Introduction Limestone quarries impact natural areas, and they are spreading in relation to human population growth. Little is known about the impact of limestone quarries and their restoration on biodiversity. Objectives This review aims to provide an overview of how biodiversity is assessed in limestone quarries, how it impacts biodiversity,

Protura and molecular phylogenetics: status quo of a young love

Soil Organisms, 2011
Protura are among the latecomers to molecular phylogenetics. The first sequences were published about a decade ago; since then relatively little additional data has been collected. Nonetheless, the available molecular phylogenetic analyses have provided
