Prospects for Complete DNA Barcode Coverage of the New Zealand Insect Fauna. [PDF]
J R Soc N ZThe accurate identification of insects supports conservation, biosecurity and ecological monitoring. However, morphological identification is constrained by taxonomic complexity, undescribed diversity, and limited expertise. DNA barcoding can alleviate some of these challenges and complement morphological identification, if reference data are ...

Are Findings of Key Insect Metrics Generalizable Across Different Taxa in Malaise Trap Samples? [PDF]
Ecol EvolMalaise traps are increasingly used for global insect monitoring. However, it remains unclear whether patterns in total insect biomass from these traps reflect only changes in dominant taxa, or whether they reflect changes in other key community metrics and taxonomic groups.

33 MecopteraAn arolium is absent in boreids and notiothaumids (Mickoleit 1971), but present in other mecopterans (Fig. 6D; Byers 1991). Other specific adhesive structures are lacking. Paired claws are present in members of all groups with the exception of Bittacidae which posses singleclawed raptorial tarsi.

Diversity and Distribution Patterns of Insects in Nigeria: A GBIF-Based Appraisal. [PDF]
Ecol EvolInsect diversity in Nigeria is high, with 5880 species. Diversity differs between biomes. Current diversity represents ~21 of the estimated ‘true’ diversity. ABSTRACT Insects provide essential ecosystem services and are key indicators of ecosystem health.

Evolutionary implications of a deep-time perspective on insect pollination. [PDF]
Biol Rev Camb Philos SocABSTRACT Plant pollination by insects represents one of the most transformative and iconic ecological relationships in the natural world. Despite tens of thousands of papers, as well as numerous books, on pollination biology published over the past 200 years, most studies focused on the fossil record of pollinating insects have only been published in ...
