New records of exotic spiders and insects to the Azores, and new data on recently introduced species [PDF]

, 2013
The introduction of exotic species in islands is recognized as a major threat to native biota and ecosystems. In this contribution we list thirteen widespread exotic invertebrate species (two Araneae, one Orthoptera, four Hemiptera, four Coleoptera and ...

Multiple hybridization events and repeated evolution of homoeologue expression bias in parthenogenetic, polyploid New Zealand stick insects

Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 15, August 2025.
Abstract During hybrid speciation, homoeologues combine in a single genome. Homoeologue expression bias (HEB) occurs when one homoeologue has higher gene expression than another. HEB has been well characterized in plants but rarely investigated in animals, especially invertebrates.

Biological Flora of Britain and Ireland: Cytisus scoparius*

Journal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 7, Page 1877-1933, July 2025.
Broom is an attractive and common native plant across Britain, Ireland and most of Europe, and yet it is considered a harmful and invasive weed around the rest of the world. This is aided by broom thriving on poor dry soils, helped by using green stems for photosynthesis and having root nodules to fix nitrogen.

Present knowledge of the Entomofauna of the Maltese Islands [PDF]

, 2000
The Maltese Islands' strategic position in the centre of the Mediterranean basin and in between the Siculo Tunisian sill, always encouraged a number of foreign naturalists to visit and study their local entomofauna.

Satellite DNA libraries and centromere evolution [PDF]

, 2008
Related species share a pool of satellite DNA sequences known as a satellite DNA library. Such sequences may persist in the genome for long evolutionary time at latent locations and can be amplified in any species.

The effect of size on mate selection, fecundity and survival in Culex pipiens mosquitoes

Physiological Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 2, Page 204-215, June 2025.
Larval diet affects male and female adult size, female fecundity and female survival. Large non‐blood–fed females lived longer than small non‐blood–fed females. Mate size did not influence mating rate (insemination status). Even though larger females are more fit, males mated equally to large and small females when given the option. Blood feeding has a

A Multithreat Meta‐Analytic Database for Understanding Insect Biodiversity Change

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 31, Issue 5, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Widespread declines in insect biodiversity have been attributed to a diverse set of anthropogenic drivers, but the relative importance of these drivers remains unclear. A key reason for this uncertainty is that their effects depend on many factors, such as taxonomy, geography, sampling method and the biodiversity metric considered.

The dynamic karyotype and the complex genetic structure of the obligate parthenogen Clonopsis gallica (Insecta: Phasmatodea)

The European Zoological Journal
The stick insects of the genus Clonopsis embody bisexual, parthenogenetic and androgenetic taxa. Clonopsis gallica is an obligate parthenogen with a very wide geographic range, spreading eastwards from Morocco to Tunisia, and across Gibraltar to southern

Interspecific ovarian transplantation in stick insects (Phasmatodea) [PDF]

Bolletino di zoologia, 1990
Abstract Vitellogenic ovarian follicles of Bacillus rossius, Sipjloidea sipylus and Baculum thaii were transplanted into female abdomens of another stick insect, Carausius morosus. Intraspecific transplantations served as controls. Ovarian follicles from all three donnor species were analyzed by immunoblotting using both polyclonal and monoclonal ...
