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 ...

Spermathecal Variation in Temperate Opiliones
Integrative and Comparative Biology, 2020 Synopsis Most arachnid fertilization occurs internally, allowing for a variety of post-copulatory mechanisms to take place. Females are expected to exert some level of control over sperm fate when (1) the point of gametic fusion is particularly distant ...

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 ...

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.

Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 22, November 2025.ABSTRACT Evolutionary transitions to carnivory represent profound shifts in feeding mode that are often accompanied by widespread changes in organismal function, behaviour and ecology. Such transitions have evolved numerous times among animals, and predator–prey interactions have been major drivers of animal evolution.

Towards edge processing of images from insect camera traps
Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, Volume 11, Issue 5, Page 573-589, October 2025.The advancement of light traps with camera‐based monitoring systems for nocturnal insects necessitates effective and flexible pipelines for analysing recorded images. In this paper, we present a flexible and fast processing pipeline designed to analyse these recordings by detecting, tracking and classifying insects in a broad taxonomy of 15 classes and

A globally influential area‐condition metric is a poor proxy for invertebrate biodiversity
Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 10, Page 2529-2540, October 2025.Our results highlight the need to incorporate factors beyond habitat type and condition into site evaluations, and to complement metric use with species‐based surveys. Abstract There is increasing demand for standardised, easy‐to‐use metrics to assess progress towards achieving biodiversity targets and the effectiveness of ecological compensation ...
