Revealing patterns of endemism in the transatlantic family Chelodesmidae (Polydesmida: Diplopoda)

Cladistics, Volume 42, Issue 2, Page 159-171, April 2026.
Abstract With fossil records dating back to the Silurian/Late Ordovician, millipedes stand out as one of the earliest terrestrial animal groups. Their limited vagility and high endemism make them valuable tools for formulating and testing biogeographic hypotheses, including those related to macro‐vicariance events.

A new subspecies of Bracon pallicarpus Thomson, 1892 (Hymenoptera, Braconidae, Braconinae) parasitising larvae of Dorytomus cinereus Hochhuth (Coleoptera, Curculionidae) in Magadan Province, Russia [PDF]

Journal of Insect Biodiversity and Systematics
The data on biology and taxonomy of the new subspecies Bracon pallicarpus dorytomovorus Samartsev & Dokuchaev ssp. nov. are given. It was shown that in the Northern Okhotsk region, the wasps of the new subspecies are solitary univoltine parasitoids of ...

Distance of movement in three threatened butterfly species

Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 2, Page 250-260, April 2026.
Multi‐year mark–recapture analysis using net displacement and Cormack–Jolly–Seber models shows similar daily detectability (0.17–0.22) among species, supporting robust interspecific comparisons. Dispersal kernels differ: lognormal best for Euphydryas aurinia and Parnassius apollo, exponential for Phengaris arion; P.

Unprotected Waters: When Protection Fails In Freshwater

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Invasive species are a major driver of biodiversity loss in protected areas (PAs), yet their impacts in aquatic environments are less well documented. This study investigated the occurrence and distribution of nonnative freshwater fish in federal PAs in Brazil.

Landscape heterogeneity affects developmental and dispersal‐related traits of a butterfly in agricultural landscapes

Ecological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 2, March 2026.
Abstract The loss and fragmentation of natural habitats due to the intensification of agricultural land use have detrimental impacts on the biodiversity of arthropods. The reduction of natural habitats results in a decreased availability of essential resources, which may select for rapid development and phenotypes enhancing dispersal ability.

Body Size Evolution in Burying Beetles (Staphylinidae: Silphinae: Nicrophorus)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
Burying beetles (genus Nicrophorus) exhibit broad, skewed variation in body size, which influences carcass use and competitive interactions. Using a large dataset of morphological and geographic data, we show that body size evolution is shaped by phylogenetic history, biogeography, and ecological interactions, with divergence especially pronounced ...

Evidence of Avian Predation on a Critically Endangered Elasmobranch, the Halavi Guitarfish (Glaucostegus halavi), in the Red Sea

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
We report six cases of suspected and confirmed osprey predation events on early lifestage Halavi guitarfish in the Al Wajh lagoon, northern Red Sea. These observations provide rare evidence of avian‐elasmobranch interactions in the region, and suggest that the use of shallow habitats may increase exposure to osprey predation.
