Sharpening our understanding of saber‐tooth biomechanics

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, Volume 308, Issue 11, Page 3022-3040, November 2025.
Abstract Saber‐teeth are a striking example of convergent evolution in vertebrate predators, having evolved multiple times in mammals and their early ancestors. While there is broad consensus that saber‐toothed taxa employed a distinct biting strategy compared to conical‐toothed carnivores, like the lion, the precise mechanics and variability of this ...

Contribution to the Neotropical Campylochetini: A review of Campylocheta Rondani, 1859 (Diptera: Tachinidae) with new synonyms, three new species and an identification key to Neotropical species

open access: yesAustral Entomology, Volume 64, Issue 4, November 2025.
Abstract The large genus Campylocheta Rondani, 1859, comprising 48 species, occurs in all major biogeographical regions of the world, except Antarctica. Homohypochaeta Townsend, 1927 and Hypochaetopsis Townsend, 1915 are two Neotropical genera similar to Campylocheta, with only two and one species respectively.

New insights into the biology of the rare ectoparasitoid rhopalosomatid wasps (Hymenoptera: Rhopalosomatidae) in the Neotropics: parasitoid–host relationships in Brazil and Costa Rica

open access: yesAustral Entomology, Volume 64, Issue 4, November 2025.
Abstract Rhopalosomatidae (Hymenoptera, Vespoidea) are rare ectoparasitoid wasps that parasitize crickets (Grylloidea), with few records documented in the literature, which originate from the Nearctic and Australian regions. Here, we report the first record of Rhopalosomatidae larvae parasitizing crickets of the family Phalangopsidae in the Neotropics.

Stabilizing adaptation in an invasive species: Alfalfa weevil as a case study

open access: yesAgricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 27, Issue 4, Page 573-589, November 2025.
Comparison of thermal thresholds, fecundity and longevity across three alfalfa weevil strains (California in the United States, Hamadan in Iran, Ebro Valley in Spain) reveal significant differences in demographic parameters. Weather‐driven physiologically based demographic models (PBDMs) developed from life table data explore strain adaptation to ...
