Toward a global repository of insect traits (GRIT)
Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.Biodiversity loss is accelerating, yet insect conservation is hindered by the absence of a centralised, comprehensive trait database. We propose the GRIT, a FAIR, open‐access platform uniting datasets and collaborators worldwide. GRIT will harness advanced computational tools for trait acquisition and imputation, enabling large‐scale ecological ...

Biogeographic regionalization of Odonata (Insecta) in the Neotropics: contrasting Anisoptera and Zygoptera spatial patterns [PDF]
Frontiers of BiogeographyThe Neotropical region stands as a significant hotspot for Odonata diversity, yet comprehensive spatial patterns have remained less elucidated. This study aimed to provide a comprehensive biogeographical regionalization of the order Odonata across the ...

Social media highlights the overlooked impact of cats on arthropods
Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.The impact of domestic cats on vertebrate biodiversity is unequivocal; however, we still know little about their effects on arthropods. By analysing over 17,000 photos and videos from social media platforms (iStock and TikTok), we documented 550 predation events of cats on arthropods.

Higher gregarine parasitism often in sibling species of host damselflies with smaller geographical distributions [PDF]
, 2012 1. This study investigated inter-specific variation in parasitism by gregarines (Eugregarinorida: Actinocephalidae), among sibling species of damselflies (Odonata: Zygoptera), in relation to relative size of geographical ranges of host species.

Water availability and land‐use shape the diversity of Odonata in the Middle East
Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.Odonata diversity in the Middle East depends on the availability of long‐lasting waters, emphasizing the importance of preserving stable aquatic habitats for biodiversity conservation under climate change‐driven droughts. Agricultural expansion is associated with increased Odonata species richness, but overall trait diversity remains limited ...

\u3ci\u3eNeurocordulia (Platycordulia) Xanthosoma\u3c/i\u3e (Williamson) in Texas (Odonata: Libellulidae: Corduliinae) [PDF]
, 2017 (excerpt) The rarity of a species is usually judged by the number of specimens in collections, both private and institutional, and the number of places where it has been found or seen. On this basis, Neurocordulia xanthosoma (Williamson) is rare.
