Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 24, Issue 8, November 2024.Abstract For two decades, DNA barcoding and, more recently, DNA metabarcoding have been used for molecular species identification and estimating biodiversity. Despite their growing use, few studies have systematically evaluated these methods.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2024.Changes in seasonality have extended the breeding window for migratory birds in North America with earlier springs and later autumns that affect insect availability. DNA metabarcoding and insect surveys revealed that migratory, insectivorous black‐throated blue warblers exhibit diet flexibility in response to seasonal pulses in arthropod prey ...

Characterization of abdominal appendages in the sawfly, Athalia rosae (Hymenoptera), by morphological and gene expression analyses [PDF]
, 2010 Larvae of the sawfly, Athalia rosae, have remarkable abdominal prolegs. We analyzed the morphogenesis of appendages and the expression of decapentaplegic and Distal-less genes during embryonic development to characterize the origin of prolegs.

Journal of Morphology, Volume 285, Issue 9, September 2024.We present a multimodal anatomy of the male genitalia of the bullet ant, Paraponera clavata. Using this as a model system, we expand and refine on the 5‐category system of homology classification proposed by Meneganzin et al. (2024) and we present evidence supporting the penis‐coxopod theory of male genitalic homology in male insects. Abstract The male

Palaeoendemic invertebrates weakly reflect palaeoendemic plants across a 52‐year‐old fire boundary
Austral Ecology, Volume 49, Issue 9, September 2024.Palaeoendemic invertebrates are associated with palaeoendemic vascular plants more than could be expected by chance in alpine/subalpine ecosystems on either side of a 52‐year‐old fire boundary. However, some palaeoendemic invertebrates are generalists in their associations with plant species.

Structural diversity and evolution of the N-terminal isoform-specific region of ecdysone receptor-A and -B1 isoforms in insects [PDF]
, 2010 Background The ecdysone receptor (EcR) regulates various cellular responses to ecdysteroids during insect development. Insects have multiple EcR isoforms with different N-terminal A/B domains that contain the isoform-specific activation function (AF)-1 ...

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.

Single-copy nuclear genes resolve the phylogeny of the holometabolous insects [PDF]
, 2009 Background: Evolutionary relationships among the 11 extant orders of insects that undergo complete metamorphosis, called Holometabola, remain either unresolved or contentious, but are extremely important as a context for accurate comparative biology of ...
