The Culicoides of the subgenus Avaritia (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) in the Palaearctic region: through unsuspected diversity with epidemiologic implications [PDF]
The biting midges of the genus Culicoides (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) are known vectors of pathogens especially Orbivirus of the Reoviridae family such as bluetongue, african horse sickness, epizootic hemorrhagic disease and more recently Schmallenberg ...

Spring–Summer spatial dynamics of Palomena prasina (L.) and potential IPM strategies. ABSTRACT Palomena prasina (L.) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae), the green shield bug (GSB), is an important hazelnut pest in Southern Europe. Currently, its control focuses on insecticide spraying during the crop season. We hypothesized that, as for other pentatomid species,

From Lability to Conservatism: Evolutionary Patterns in the Traits of Stream Trichoptera
ABSTRACT The ability to predict biodiversity responses to ongoing environmental change depends on understanding the extent to which traits are conserved across evolutionary history. Examining the relationship between traits and phylogeny provides key insights into how evolutionary history constrains and structures the traits.

Estimating wild bee population size with validated distance sampling
Distance Sampling is a promising method to estimate population size but has never been validated on insects. We validated it on a honey bee population of known size. We applied Distance Sampling to three insular pollinators and found that estimates are consistent across days, match species phenology and reflect the expected influence of weather ...

Inferring Time‐to‐Speciation From Hybrid Zone Analysis Informs Assessments of Taxonomic Inflation
ABSTRACT Measuring gene flow across hybrid zones can provide a direct evaluation of reproductive isolation (RI) between evolutionary divergent lineages. Geographic‐explicit modelling of gene flow across hybrid zones, known as cline analysis, thus offers a gold standard for species delimitation under the biological species criterion.

ABSTRACT The Bar‐tailed Lark Ammomanes cinctura is a polytypic bird species with a wide distribution. One of its three subspecies, A. c. arenicolor, has previously been found to show deep mitochondrial divergence between its geographically most distant populations, from Morocco and Saudi Arabia, respectively.
