Diverse pollination systems of the twin-spurred orchid genus Satyrium in African grasslands [PDF]
, 2013 The large terrestrial orchid genus Satyrium underwent evolutionary radiations in the Cape floral region and the grasslands of southern and eastern Africa. These radiations were accompanied by tremendous diversification of the unusual twin-spurred flowers

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.

The current status of knowledge on Lycidae Laporte, 1836 from Brazil (Insecta: Coleoptera) [with erratum] [PDF]
Check List, 2013 Lycids are often very aposematic toxic beetles, and are considered models in mimicry systems. They are cosmopolitan, with the highest diversity around tropical regions, however the knowledge of the South American lycids is yet relatively poor.

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.

Generic revision and phylogenetic analysis of the Metriorrhynchinae (Coleoptera: Lycidae)
European Journal of Entomology, 2002 The subfamily Metriorrhynchinae is the most species-rich clade of Lycidae (Coleoptera). A recent proposal suggests that the Erotinae is a sister group of the Metriorrhynchinae.

Parataxonomía: un test utilizando escarabajos [PDF]
, 2006 The present study examines the utility of parataxonomic sorting (groupings of similar individuals, categorized by non–experts, relying on features of external morphology) using data from a study of beetle communities in four forest habitats in Nova ...

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.

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.
