Spatial Dynamics and Lifespan of Adult Cicadas After Fire and Logging: A Radiotracking Study
Integrative Zoology, Volume 21, Issue 2, Page 359-370, March 2026.This study investigates the effects of wildfire and post‐fire salvage logging on the survival, spatial behavior, and habitat selection of Lyristes plebejus cicadas in Mediterranean pine forests. A total of 63 cicadas were captured, tagged with radio transmitters, and released in three disturbance contexts: burnt‐logged, burnt‐unlogged, and unburnt ...

Evolution &Development, Volume 28, Issue 1, March 2026.doublesex regulates sexual dimorphism in elytral color patterns of Harmonia axyridis by downregulating the color patterning gene h in males. This regulatory link diverged in derived color morphs, coinciding with the loss of sex‐specific elytral color patterns.

Forest Degradation and Weather Jointly Affect Early‐Life Development in a Tropical Understory Bird
Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 3, March 2026.More than a decade of field data from Kenya's Taita Hills show that forest degradation and warming jointly shape nestling development in a tropical forest bird. Nestlings in small or degraded forest patches had poorer condition, especially during low rainfall, while intact high‐canopy forests buffered them against drought and heat. Wings and tarsi were

Spatial Autocorrelation of Species Diversity and Distributions in Time and Across Spatial Scales
Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 3, March 2026.ABSTRACT Aim Spatial autocorrelation (SAC), also known as aggregation or clumping, reflects species niche and dispersal, has conservation significance, and affects ecological models. Yet, we know little about the spatial and temporal patterns of SAC in empirical data.

An Equatorial Hemispheric Barrier Shapes the Diversification of Migratory Belenois Butterflies
Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 6, March 2026.ABSTRACT Biogeographic barriers are typically considered prominent geographic features that block or severely restrict dispersal and gene flow. However, mating barriers can also emerge within continuous suitable habitats, driven by ecological or behavioural constraints. Migratory insects show an extraordinary capacity to traverse vast geographic ranges,

Managing coextinction of insects in a changing climate [PDF]
Approximately a quarter of global terrestrial biodiversity is represented by plant dwelling insects and the potential for thousands of species to be extinguished through widespread disturbances such as a changing climate is high. From a large database of
