Citizen science reveals host‐switching in louse flies and keds (Diptera: Hippoboscidae) during a period of anthropogenic change

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
A study of louse flies in the United Kingdom, Isle of Man, and Ireland found 212 different interactions between Hippoboscidae and their hosts, of which 70 were previously unrecorded. No louse flies were found on aquatic species of birds. Host‐switching to gulls (Laridae) has occurred during a period in which these species have started relying on ...

Unveiling Lasting Impact: A Cultural‐Historical Activity Theory Perspective on Original Participants in an Afterschool STEM Club

School Science and Mathematics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Girls Excelling in Math and Science (GEMS) club is a long‐standing afterschool STEM program (1994–present). The study investigates the features of GEMS by exploring retrospective experiences of a group of original GEMS girls (OGGs) who attended GEMS in 1994–1995. Survey data were collected from 14 OGGs and in‐depth interview data from nine

Feeding ecology of Australian Christmas beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Rutelinae): Implications for conservation and habitat management

Austral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 2, May 2026.
Abstract Christmas beetles (subfamily Rutelinae, genera Anoplognathus, Calloodes and Repsimus) are an ecologically important and culturally significant group of Australian scarabs, known for their striking appearance and seasonal mass emergences. Over the last decade, anecdotal reports suggest widespread population declines, raising concerns about ...

The impact of urbanisation on social behaviour: a comprehensive review

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 2, Page 1003-1035, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Urbanisation is a key driver of global environmental change and presents animals with novel stressors and challenges. It can fundamentally influence social behaviour and has the potential to reshape within‐ and between‐species social interactions. Given the role of social behaviour in reproductive fitness and survival, understanding how social
