Native insect species should be selected for classroom rearings

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 1, Page 1-10, January 2026.
Rearing insects in the school classroom can build positive attitudes towards insects among schoolchildren, which is becoming increasingly important as insect populations decline. Identified frequent use of non‐native insect species, raising environmental and ethical concerns after classroom rearing ends.

Eastern monarch larval performance may not be affected by shifts in phenological synchrony with milkweed

Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Interacting species are experiencing disruptions in the relative timing of their key life‐history events due to climate change. These shifts can sometimes be detrimental to the fitness of the consumer in trophic interactions but not always. The potential

Review and classification of Omethidae (Coleoptera: Elateroidea), with phylogenomic evidence supporting the inclusion of Telegeusinae in the family

Systematic Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, January‐March 2026.
This is the first phylogenomic study of Omethidae using genome skimming, sampling representatives of all subfamilies to resolve long‐standing conflicts between morphology‐ and multigene‐based hypotheses. Phylogenomic analyses recovered Omethidae sister to Artematopodidae and strongly support Telegeusinae as a subfamily of Omethidae, rejecting its ...

Evolutionary Isolation and Ecological Stasis in the Endangered Comal Springs Dryopid Beetle (Stygoparnus comalensis)

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 35, Issue 12, December 2025.
ABSTRACT The Comal Springs dryopid beetle (Stygoparnus comalensis) (Coleoptera: Dryopidae) is an endangered, subterranean‐obligate, long‐toed water beetle known only from three spring complexes in the Edwards Aquifer region of Texas. Due to their small size and reliance on groundwater karst habitats, little is known of the biology of these beetles. The

Friend or foe? Conservation and management of common milkweed (Asclepias syriaca)

Weed Technology
Common milkweed is a creeping perennial weed that is problematic in row crops and pastures. Its ability to readily reproduce via adventitious root buds enables it to persist, and full control often requires several growing seasons of management. Although
