Arthropod Assemblages in Desert Ecosystems of Alula County, Saudi Arabia

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
This study provides preliminary descriptions of arthropod communities in two desert habitats—arid thorn woodlands and wadis—across protected areas in AlUla County, in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Pitfall trapping over a 6‐day period yielded more than 2000 specimens representing at least 189 morphospecies, with ants (Formicidae) and springtails ...

Aromatic plants, nest bacterial diversity, and nestling condition in Corsican blue tits

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 4, April 2026.
According to the ‘nest protection hypothesis', some passerines incorporate fresh aromatic plants into their nests which reduce pathogens that can negatively affect nestlings. We experimentally evaluated the effect of five aromatic plant species on the nest bacterial microbiota of Corsican blue tits Cyanistes caeruleus.

Past Colony Connectivity of a Declining Seabird Derived From Host–Parasite Genetic Data

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT The black‐legged kittiwake (Rissa tridactyla, hereafter ‘kittiwake’, conservation status ‘Vulnerable’) is a long‐lived, highly motile and wide‐ranging seabird. Breeding kittiwake colonies are abundant across the northern hemisphere. The kittiwake's life history and the spatial scale of its breeding distribution make understanding colony ...

Gonadulin and Insulin‐Like Growth Factor Involved in Rhipicephalus microplus Reproduction

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 3, Page 285-295, March 2026.
Insulin‐like growth factor (IGF2) in ovaries of Rhipicephalus microplus partially engorged females. Ovaries from females at different feeding stages were used to detect IGF2. ABSTRACT Gonadulin and insulin‐like growth factor (IGF) are neuropeptides synthesized by the central nervous system (CNS) of arthropods.
