Teaching entomology online: Challenges, benefits and examples of effective hands‐on activities

Austral Entomology, Volume 64, Issue 2, May 2025.
Abstract Traditionally, teaching entomology to undergraduate students has relied upon conventional laboratory‐style practical classes—where students are taught how to collect, identify and curate specimens, as well as understand the form and function of key insect groups using unsophisticated but specialised equipment.

Enhanced Iteroparity Is a Correlated Response to Direct Selection on Blood Feeding in a Mosquito

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 4, April 2025.
Coq. (Diptera: Culicidae). Previous studies have focused on the fitness benefits of variable larval environment. ABSTRACT Herein, we determine life‐history consequences of selection on blood feeding in a polymorphic population of the pitcher‐plant mosquito, Wyeomyia smithii Coq. (Diptera: Culicidae). All populations of W.

Evolution of female choice and age-dependent male traits with paternal germ-line mutation [PDF]

arXiv, 2013
Several studies question the adaptive value of female preferences for older males. Theory and evidence show that older males carry more deleterious mutations in their sperm than younger males carry. These mutations are not visible to females choosing mates.

Nutritional Composition, Phytochemical Profile, Extraction Methods of Bioactive Components, and Health Benefits of Terminalia Arjuna Bark

eFood, Volume 6, Issue 2, April 2025.
The plant's bark is rich in polyphenols, particularly gallic acid and ellagic acid derivatives, which are powerful antioxidants. These antioxidants can protect cells from oxidative stress and may help prevent degenerative diseases. Additionally, Terminalia arjuna contains triterpenoids like arjunolic acid and arjunic acid, which have various ...

Insect–flower interactions, ecosystem functions, and restoration ecology in the northern Sahel: current knowledge and perspectives

Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 2, Page 969-995, April 2025.
ABSTRACT Actions for ecological restoration under the Great Green Wall (GGW) initiative in the northern Sahel have been plant focused, paying scant attention to plant–animal interactions that are essential to ecosystem functioning. Calls to accelerate implementation of the GGW make it timely to develop a more solid conceptual foundation for restoration

“Dark taxonomy”: A new protocol for overcoming the taxonomic impediments for dark taxa and broadening the taxon base for biodiversity assessment

Cladistics, Volume 41, Issue 2, Page 223-238, April 2025.
Abstract We are entering the sixth mass extinction with little data for “dark taxa”, although they comprise most species. Much of the neglect is due to the fact that conventional taxonomic methods struggle with handling thousands of specimens belonging to hundreds of species. We thus here propose a new strategy that we call “dark taxonomy”.

Review of the New World genus Cholomyia (Diptera, Tachinidae), with a new species from Costa Rica

Revista Brasileira de Entomologia, 2016
The tachinid genus Cholomyia presents Neotropical and Nearctic distribution with three species: C. acromion (Wiedemann, 1824), C. filipes (Walker, 1857), and C. inaequipes Bigot, 1884. In the present paper, all species are reviewed and redescribed, and a
