Flight of the dragons: a global review of migration in Odonata

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Insects are the most abundant and ecologically important animal migrants. Yet, we know relatively little about the patterns and processes underlying insect migration. Dragonflies (Anisoptera) and damselflies (Zygoptera) comprise the ancient insect order Odonata, whose ancestors were the first organisms to fly on Earth.

Scrutinizing the Wallacean shortfall: global gaps in snake occurrence data across space and environment

Ecography, EarlyView.
Occurrence records are fundamental for ecological and evolutionary research, providing key information on species' geographic ranges. However, these records are often taxonomically, spatially, and temporally biased, requiring caution in their use. Here, we analysed the spatial coverage of occurrence records for over 3500 snake species worldwide to ...

Revision of the colourful genus Parasetodes McLachlan, 1880 (Trichoptera, Leptoceridae) [PDF]

Opuscula Zoologica Instituti Zoosystematici et Oecologici Universitatis Budapestinensis
The rare and beautifully colourful old-world Parasetodes is a so-called set-aside genus with unsettled taxonomy. For instance, a recent survey (Malicky 2006) has synonymised all the Palaearctic and Oriental species to the type species Parasetodes ...

Shared foraging behaviors between hyenas and hominins in the Middle Paleolithic Levant: New evidence from Geula Cave, Israel

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While competition with large carnivores is likely to have shaped Middle Paleolithic hominins' subsistence behavior, palimpsested human and carnivore accumulations render the signal challenging to isolate. This study presents a detailed zooarchaeological and taphonomic analysis of a non‐anthropogenic faunal assemblage from a MIS 5 (~130–80 ka ...

The shared benefits of fallen fruits: A novel mechanism stabilizing a nursery pollination mutualism between Sambucus and kateretid beetles

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Understanding how cooperative interactions remain stable matters for biodiversity because many plants rely on specialist insects that can also impose reproductive costs. We studied the interaction between Sambucus sieboldiana and seed‐consuming Heterhelus beetles through detailed field observations and pollination experiments.

PCR‐based species identification tools for wireworms (Coleoptera: Elateridae) of economic importance in Canada

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Species‐specific PCR primers and PCR‐based assays were designed for the identification of 15 economically important and difficult to distinguish wireworm pests in Canada. PCR specificity testing and performance assessments confirm the accuracy of the assays.
