Forest type influence on Heliconia‐dipteran interaction networks

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 3, Page 660-674, May 2026.
Responses to forest type depended on the developmental stage of dipterans. Bract traits and forest type influenced larval abundance, but forest type had no impact on adult alpha and beta diversity. Heliconia‐dipteran interaction networks showed a nested pattern for both forest types.

The Idioptera-Eloeophila complex (Diptera: Limoniidae): a phylogenetic solution to an old taxonomic misunder­stand­ing [PDF]

Arthropod Systematics & Phylogeny
Eloeophila Rondani, 1856 and Idioptera Macquart, 1834 are two genera of the family Limoniidae (Diptera) distinguished by the presence of a supernumerary cross-vein m-cu.

Pests for Dinner: Dietary Composition of Insectivorous Bats in a Fragmented Tropical Dry Forest

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.
Insectivorous bats are key predators of a wide array of arthropods, including species that act as disease vectors and pests, yet such ecological roles remain poorly studied in tropical regions. In this study, we aimed to describe the diet of five insectivorous bat species from the genera Balantiopteryx, Myotis, Mormoops, and Pteronotus inhabiting a ...

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.

Experimental droughts in mesocosms reveal a gradient of tolerance in Alpine stream macroinvertebrates

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 70, Issue S2, Page S352-S363, December 2025.
Abstract Prolonged droughts, driven by climate change and human pressures on water resources, are increasing in frequency and intensity, particularly impacting Alpine rivers. Benthic macroinvertebrates are one of the most important structural and functional components of Alpine lotic ecosystems.
