Flight of the dragons: a global review of migration in Odonata

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2134-2157, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Insects are the most abundant and ecologically important animal migrants. Yet, we know relatively little about the patterns and processes underlying insect migration. Dragonflies (Anisoptera) and damselflies (Zygoptera) comprise the ancient insect order Odonata, whose ancestors were the first organisms to fly on Earth.

Counting cases, conserving species: addressing highly pathogenic avian influenza in wildlife

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2190-2213, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) has become a critical threat to wildlife, shifting from a seasonal epizootic to a persistent, year‐round panzootic with global consequences. Here, we summarise the origin, evolutionary mechanisms, and expanding host range of the current H5N1 virus (clade 2.3.4.4b) and assess its impact on wildlife. Over

Which instruments to preserve forest biodiversity? [PDF]

In general, neither the social norms nor market dynamics stimulate spontaneously activities and practices conducive to biodiversity. The nature of public good of biodiversity leads to its rapid erosion.

Gonolobus in the spotlight: History, diversity, and citizen science

TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 5, October 2026.
Abstract Gonolobus (Apocynaceae) is a distinctive genus of climbing plants, distributed from the southern United States to Argentina. This study presents a comprehensive, integrative analysis of the genus, synthesizing its intricate taxonomic history, biogeographic patterns, and the contribution of citizen science to its modern systematics. We compiled

Repeated trends in altitudinal gradients of diversity: How habitat filtering and biotic interactions structure ecological communities. [PDF]

J Anim Ecol
This study reveals that tropical butterfly communities show remarkably consistent elevational patterns of diversity and phylogenetic structure across regions with contrasting evolutionary histories, demonstrating how regional species pools and local ecological factors jointly shape biodiversity along altitudinal gradients.

Dark diversity of flea (Siphonaptera) assemblages in South American rodents: Latitudinal and altitudinal gradients

Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 5, Page 983-992, October 2026.
The dark diversity of compound flea communities increased from north to south. The dark diversity of compound flea communities increased from lower to higher altitudes. The dark diversity of component flea communities also increased from north to south but did not vary with altitude.
