Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 8, August 2025.Veterinary medication residues in livestock dung, such as the antiparasitic drug ivermectin, can negatively affect insects that rely on dung for reproduction, impacting survival, reproduction, and ecosystem functions. This study on the dung fly Sepsis neocynipsea reveals that ivermectin exposure significantly reduces adult survival, particularly in ...

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 39, Issue 1, Page 200-215, March 2025.Mosquito communities in southern inland Iberia are dominated by highly competent vectors of West Nile virus. The coexistence of Culex pipiens and Culex theileri in southern inland Iberia indicates that both species should be involved in West Nile virus transmission.

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 17, Issue 6, Page 968-987, November 2024.Investigating insect biodiversity and accelerating species discovery is crucial for conservation purposes. The use of an integrative approach is essential to deal with hyperdiverse and understudied insect groups, such as “dark taxa.” We employed the Large‐Scale Integrative Taxonomy (LIT) approach to sort 9400 specimens of Megaselia into 277 putative ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 10, October 2024.Land‐mark based geomorphometric wing analysis of Glossina morsitans populations in Zambia shows that this tsetse exhibit significant population‐level variation in fly size and wing shape suggesting high levels of population structuring. The main drivers of this structuring could be random genetic drift and local adaptation to environmental conditions ...

Cladistics, Volume 40, Issue 5, Page 510-525, October 2024.Abstract Despite significant advances in alpha level taxonomy in the past few decades, the higher‐level phylogeny of flat wasps (Hymenoptera, Bethylidae) remains poorly explored. Herein we provide the first phylogenomic assessment of the family based on data from ultraconserved elements for 96 species in 61 genera of the family, with material from 29 ...
