The current status of knowledge on Lycidae Laporte, 1836 from Brazil (Insecta: Coleoptera) [with erratum] [PDF]

open access: yesCheck 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.

Hurricanes lead to declines in taxonomic, phylogenetic, and functional richness and shifts in moth community composition

open access: yesEcosphere, 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

open access: yesJournal 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

open access: yesEvolution &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

open access: yesInsect 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.
