River Barriers and Spatial Constraints: Unveiling the Factors Shaping Species Distribution in the Amazonian Rainforest

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 12, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim We aimed to quantify the relative contributions of geographic distance, environmental variation, and riverine barriers to shaping species distributions across the Amazon forest. Location Amazon forest, Brazil. Time Period Present. Major Taxa Studied Class Arachnida; Order: Opiliones (harvestmen).

Zur Biologie von Dipoena torva (Araneae: Theridiidae) [PDF]

, 2013
Data are given concerning stratification, phenology, feeding and mating behaviour of the theridiid spider Dipoena torva (THORELL, 1875). The species was found predominantly at heights of around 10 metres on the sterns of oaks and pines in Berlin, Germany.

Beetle Pollination in the Holoparasitic Lophophytum pyramidale (Balanophoraceae): A New Case of Brood‐Pollination Mutualism?

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 10, Page 1542-1554, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Beetle pollination is considered an ancestral trait in angiosperms, retained in a few specialised families engaging in longstanding interactions with ancient groups of beetles. While beetles represent some of the earliest angiosperm pollinators, there is also increasing evidence that some beetle‐pollinated plants represent a derived condition.

Riparian Vegetation and Arthropod Responses to Dam Removal and Habitat Restoration Along the Kalamazoo River, Michigan, USA

River Research and Applications, Volume 41, Issue 9, Page 2017-2031, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Riparian ecosystems harbor diverse biota and provide numerous services to rivers including mitigating sediment run‐off, regulating temperature, and contributing food‐web subsidies. Dams are a major threat to riparian communities, but dam removal and riparian restoration efforts have the potential to restore these communities and the services ...

Amid the fallen leaves: Intense collecting in the Northern Atlantic Forest reveals new minute harvestmen species (Opiliones: Stygnidae) within the Area of Endemism of Pernambuco

Austral Entomology, Volume 64, Issue 4, November 2025.
Abstract Stygnids represent one of the most diverse harvestman families, with many endemic species in the Area of Endemism of Pernambuco, a pattern increasingly evident by intensified sampling in the region over the years. The area is also recognised for hosting a group of understudied minute leaf‐litter dwellers stygnids, represented by the following ...

Variation in Mating Dynamics across Five Species of Leiobunine Harvestmen (Arachnida: Opliones) [PDF]

, 2018
The study of mating choices often focuses on correlates of traits to the overall outcome of a mating interaction. However, mating interactions can proceed through a series of stages, with opportunities for assessment at each stage.

Environmental gradients and carabid beetle diversity: Insights from wildfire and intensive site preparation in a Central European forest

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 27, Issue 4, Page 613-629, November 2025.
Wildfire and intensive site preparation influence beetle assemblages by shaping habitat heterogeneity, with wildfire fostering biodiversity while disc trenching leads to long‐term species declines due to habitat homogenization. Post‐fire beetle succession follows a predictable trajectory, with early successional species dominating open habitats and ...

Vegetation Structure and Soil Composition Influence Opiliones Diversity Across Spatial Scales in Amazonia

Biotropica, Volume 57, Issue 6, November 2025.
We examined how vegetation structure and soil composition influence the diversity and distribution of Opiliones across spatial scales in Central Amazonia. At the local scale, trees provided the richest microhabitats, strongly shaping species richness and composition, while at the regional scale, soil sand content was the main driver of species turnover.
