Functions of Egg-Coating Substances Secreted by Female Accessory Glands in Alderflies, Fishflies and Dobsonflies (Megaloptera) [PDF]

Insects, 2022
Eggs of insects are immobile and must endure harsh environmental conditions (e.g., low temperatures in winter and aridity in summer) and avoid attack by egg-eating predators, egg parasites, and microbes. Females of Megaloptera lay their eggs as a single-

Megaloptera of Canada [PDF]

ZooKeys, 2019
An updated summary on the fauna of Canadian Megaloptera is provided. Currently, 18 species are recorded in Canada, with six species of Corydalidae and 12 species of Sialidae. This is an increase of two species since 1979.

Adults of Alderflies, Fishflies, and Dobsonflies (Megaloptera) Expel Meconial Fluid When Disturbed [PDF]

Insects, 2023
Chemical secretions are an effective means by which insects may deter potential enemies, already being studied extensively with regard to their chemicals, synthesis, toxicity, and functions. However, these defensive secretions have been little studied in

Riparian Bryophytes: An Overlooked Yet Important Habitat for Aquatic Macroinvertebrates in Interior Pacific Northwest (USA) Salmonid-Bearing Streams. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We investigated riparian bryophytes as habitat for aquatic invertebrates in an interior Pacific Northwest (PNW) salmonid stream system. Our results demonstrate that bryophytes are highly productive habitat for aquatic invertebrates in interior Pacific Northwest salmonid streams.

Comparative Morphology of the Wing Base Structure Illuminates Higher-Level Phylogeny of Holometabola [PDF]

Insects
Phylogenetic relationships among Holometabola have been the subject of controversy. The value of the wing base structure in phylogenetic analysis has been demonstrated but remains largely underexplored and scarce in studies of Holometabola.

Chromosomes of four fishfly species (Megaloptera, Corydalidae, Chauliodinae) from North America [PDF]

Comparative Cytogenetics
We analyzed chromosomes of four species of fishflies (Megaloptera: Chauliodinae). Three species were from western North America (Dysmicohermes disjunctus (Walker, 1866), Dysmicohermes ingens Chandler, 1954, and Orohermes crepusculus (Chandler, 1954 ...

Differing Impacts of Livestock Farming and Ranching on Aquatic Insect Biodiversity: A Global Meta-Analysis. [PDF]

Glob Chang Biol
This meta‐analysis investigates the impact of livestock farming and ranching on the abundance and richness of major aquatic insect orders. Livestock farming significantly reduced the richness of Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera, and Trichoptera. However, livestock farming did not significantly impact abundance, suggesting finite shifts in aquatic insect ...

The genome sequence of the Common Alderfly, Sialis lutaria (Linnaeus, 1758) [version 1; peer review: 2 approved, 1 approved with reservations] [PDF]

Wellcome Open Research
We present a genome assembly from an individual Sialis lutaria (alderfly; Arthropoda; Insecta; Megaloptera; Sialidae). The genome sequence is 462.0 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 15 chromosomal pseudomolecules.

The genome sequence of an alderfly, Sialis fuliginosa Pictet, 1836 [version 1; peer review: 2 approved] [PDF]

Wellcome Open Research
We present a genome assembly from an individual female Sialis fuliginosa (alderfly; Arthropoda; Insecta; Megaloptera; Sialidae). The genome sequence is 392.1 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 14 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
