Multi‐Omics Profiling of the Scaphoideus titanus Yeast‐Like Symbiont Guides the Bioinformatic Discovery of Related Fungal Symbioses in Insects

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 7, July 2026.
Genomic, proteomic and phylogenetic analyses of the obligate yeast‐like symbiont (YLS) associated with Scaphoideus titanus revealed retained metabolic flexibility and a monophyletic origin of insect‐associated YLSs within a free‐living fungal lineage. A novel computational pipeline was used to mine NCBI transcriptomic data and identified new candidate ...

Insects and Survival: A Review of Primary and Secondary Defense Strategies

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 7, Page 601-624, July 2026.
Based on a review of three decades of literature, insect defense mechanisms are classified into primary (I) and secondary (II) mechanisms of behavioral, morphological, and chemical nature. These mechanisms have been recorded in 22 (I) and 20 (II) orders, respectively.

Moderately thinning encroaching shrub species is key to balancing rangeland restoration and arthropod biodiversity conservation in Namibia

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 6, June 2026.
Moderate manual thinning (50F) maintained arthropod diversity comparable to untreated controls while reducing shrub dominance, demonstrating that structural heterogeneity buffers biodiversity loss during rangeland restoration in Namibian bush‐encroached systems. These findings advocate mosaic debushing strategies that preserve vegetation complexity and

Linking Environmental Gradients, Functional Traits, and Phylogenetic Structure in Meloidae (Coleoptera) Assemblages of Inner Western Anatolia

open access: yesDiversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Blister beetles (Coleoptera: Meloidae) exhibit complex life cycles, strong host dependencies, and unusual dispersal strategies, yet community‐level ecological analyses remain rare. We aimed to identify the environmental drivers of Meloidae assemblage structure and species richness, assess whether species responses are taxonomically ...

Rarity of blister beetles (Coleoptera: Meloidae) in Southern Africa correlates with their phylogeny and trophic habits, but not body size

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2014
Ecologists have identified several correlates of biological rarity in animals. Among the various correlates identified so far, three are explored in this paper: (a) abundance is correlated with absolute body size in animals; (b) phylogenetically ...

Male‐Biased Adult Mortality in the Great Bustard Is Consistent With High Reproductive Costs and Aggravated by Anthropogenic Impact

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
Annual survival of great bustards (Otis tarda) was lower in males than in females, with minimum values just after the mating and incubation period, respectively, a pattern that is consistent with the reproductive cost hypothesis. Survival was lower in Madrid, a highly anthropized region (males: 0.874, females: 0.931), than in Villafáfila, where good ...
