Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2025.Abstract Disturbances play a central role in shaping biodiversity, influencing both community structure and ecosystem function. The responses of biodiversity to disturbance are inherently multidimensional, often leading to shifts in taxonomic composition, functional traits, and evolutionary dynamics within biological communities.

Two decades of arthropod biodiversity after windthrow show different dynamics of functional groups
Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 2, Page 371-387, February 2025.Our study shows that windthrow causes an initial boost of arthropod diversity. While abundances thereafter rapidly decline, species numbers remain at relatively high levels during at least two decades. Unsalvaged windthrows are an indispensable resource for endangered species, particularly in later wood decay stages.

The genetic determination of alternate stages in polyphenic insects
Evolution &Development, Volume 26, Issue 5, September 2024.Research from insect models has found the genes that determine stage identity in metamorphosing insects. Variations in the onset, duration, and tissue‐specific expression of these genes can explain life history variations throughout insects, like the castes of Isoptera or neoteny in endoparasites.

Molecular phylogeny reveals high diversity, geographic structure and limited ranges in neotenic net-winged beetles platerodrilus (coleoptera: lycidae). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 The neotenic Platerodrilus net-winged beetles have strongly modified development where females do not pupate and retain larval morphology when sexually mature.

Patterns of aerial arthropod biomass and diversity from three regions of boreal Alaska
Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 17, Issue 5, Page 826-855, September 2024.We documented aerial arthropod biomass and diversity over 4 years in three regions in boreal Alaska—two in central Alaska and one in southcentral Alaska. Traps yielded 115,078 specimens of 15 orders and 692 unique taxa. Mean aerial arthropod biomass was more than three times higher in Fairbanks than in Anchorage.

The evolutionary history of Coleoptera (Insecta) in the late Palaeozoic and the Mesozoic
Systematic Entomology, Volume 49, Issue 3, Page 355-388, July 2024.Structural transformations of the elytra and abdomen played a major role in the early beetle evolution in the Permian. Polyphaga appear late in the fossil record, with only a few fossils of Elateriformia in the Late Triassic. Several factors were involved in the enormous diversification of beetles in the Cretaceous but evolutionary interactions with ...

Austral Ecology, Volume 49, Issue 5, May 2024.Pollination systems of tall forest trees are poorly studied, resulting from the difficulties in observing pollinator activity at canopy level and great temporal variation in flower production. Here, we observed insect flower visitors, at canopy level, to four southern Afrotemperate forest tree species bearing small, white to green flowers in a large ...

A revision of the Cautires obsoletus species group from Java (Coleoptera, Lycidae)
ZooKeys, 2012 The Javanese fauna of the species group Cautires obsoletus is revised. Altogether, eight Javanese species were classified in the group; five of them are proposed to be junior subjective synonyms: Cautires fruhstorferi Dudkova & Bocak, 2010, a ...
