Austral Entomology, Volume 64, Issue 4, November 2025.Abstract Taxonomy is a fundamental discipline for biology, especially for the effective conservation of biodiversity. Here, we performed a review of Petrocerus Callaghan, 1979, an endangered and hitherto monotypic butterfly genus endemic to the Brazilian Atlantic Forest.

Interspecific differences of ladybirds (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) in their repellency to ants
Journal of Zoology, Volume 327, Issue 1, Page 73-83, September 2025.Our study found that, unlike those from mealworms, compounds in whole‐body extracts of ladybirds effectively deterred ants. No correlation was found between the degree of aposematic colouration (highly conspicuous vs. less conspicuous) and repellence. Mycophagous ladybird species exhibited levels of protection comparable to predatory species, and large

Systematic Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 3, Page 449-468, July 2025.Comprehensive phylogeny of Xanthopygina rove beetles (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae), including 30 of 33 genera, was generated by anchored hybrid enrichment of 1229 nuclear, protein‐encoding loci. We resolved nine major clades within Xanthopygina, including the new Leptodiastemus group, and successfully delineated a monophyletic concept of Gastrisus ...

European Journal of Entomology, 2013 Larvae of the endangered Scarce Large Blue butterfly, Phengaris (Maculinea) teleius, are initially endophytic, feeding upon developing seeds of Sanguisorba officinalis, but complete their development as social parasites preying on the brood of Myrmica ...

Systematic Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 3, Page 519-539, July 2025.Phylogeny of the butterfly tribe Luciini showing Bayesian chronogram of evolution inferred with BEAST 1.10.4 and new monotypic genus Paradipsas Braby, gen. nov. Luciini are obligatorily associated with ants. Ant associations (subfamily and genus) with larvae of each butterfly species are indicated by tip circle colours. Ant attendance appears to be the

A place for natural history in the 21st century
Biotropica, Volume 57, Issue 1, January 2025.Natural history provides an important basis for observing interactions between organisms in their environments. Biotropica recently inaugurated a new paper category called “Natural History Field Notes” to provide an outlet for such studies. Depicted here are drawings and observations by the author from research trips.

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 18, Issue 1, Page 107-115, January 2025.As specialist species are generally decreasing under the pressures of anthropogenic global change, we assessed whether myrmecophily affected 40‐year occupancy trends of gossamer‐winged butterflies (Lycaenidae) in a European region. Obligate myrmecophile butterflies showed slightly, but insignificantly, more increasing trends compared with ant ...
