New insights in the taxonomy of Lepismatidae (Insecta, Zygentoma) with an updated key to genera and future challenges

European Journal of Taxonomy
This paper provides a revision of the morphological characters that can be used in the current taxonomy of Lepismatidae, and methodological guidelines for identification of silverfish, which requires the use of light microscope and can be helped by ...

Arthropod Assemblages in Desert Ecosystems of Alula County, Saudi Arabia. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
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 ...

Upscaling biodiversity monitoring: Metabarcoding estimates 31,846 insect species from Malaise traps across Germany. [PDF]

Mol Ecol Resour
Abstract Mitigating ongoing losses of insects and their key functions (e.g. pollination) requires tracking large‐scale and long‐term community changes. However, doing so has been hindered by the high diversity of insect species that requires prohibitively high investments of time, funding and taxonomic expertise when addressed with conventional tools ...

The influence of drought, precipitation and fossorial mammal reintroduction on the density of fossorial arthropods and their burrows in arid Australia

Austral Ecology, Volume 48, Issue 7, Page 1252-1273, November 2023., 2023
Burrowing arthropods can be an important source of food and providers of shelter and understanding factors that contribute to their population fluctuations is important for tracking their dynamic ecosystem interactions. Here we measured the changes in the density of fossorial arthropod burrows and their occupants over a period spanning the tail‐end of ...

Assessing the Diversity of Ant-Associated Silverfish (Insecta: Zygentoma) in Mediterranean Countries: The Most Important Hotspot for Lepismatidae in Western Palaearctic

Diversity, 2023
The Mediterranean Basin is considered one of the most important hotspots of biodiversity in the European region. Many taxa exhibit high levels of speciation and endemicity in this area.

The morphology of the free‐living females of Strepsiptera (Insecta)

Journal of Morphology, Volume 284, Issue 6, June 2023., 2023
The documentation of the external and internal morphology of the adult free‐living females of Mengenilla moldrzyki and Eoxenos laboulbenei (Strepsiptera, Mengenillidae) using µCT‐based 3D reconstructions and histological serial sections shows far‐reaching specialization and structural simplification of the body.

Imprints of latitude, host taxon, and decay stage on fungus‐associated arthropod communities

Ecological Monographs, Volume 92, Issue 3, August 2022., 2022
Abstract Interactions among fungi and insects involve hundreds of thousands of species. While insect communities on plants have formed some of the classic model systems in ecology, fungus‐based communities and the forces structuring them remain poorly studied by comparison.

Ctenolepisma almeriensis n. sp. of Lepismatidae (Insecta, Zygentoma) from south-eastern Spain [PDF]

Animal Biodiversity and Conservation, 2005
Ctenolepisma almeriensis n. sp., from the south–eastern part of the Iberian Peninsula is described. This species was determined previously as Ctenolepisma lineata (Fabricius, 1775), which is widespread over the south–western Palaeartic region.
