False scorpions (Arachnida, Pseudoscorpiones) from Lower Cretaceous Spanish amber

Papers in Palaeontology, Volume 10, Issue 6, November/December 2024.
Abstract Pseudoscorpions, one of the earliest terrestrial lineages dating back to the Middle Devonian period (c. 385 Ma), have a limited fossil record mainly as inclusions in amber. The available fossils are mostly from the Cenozoic era, making it challenging to comprehensively understand their evolutionary history and diversification over time.

Comparative genomics provides insights into molecular adaptation to hypermetamorphosis and cantharidin metabolism in blister beetles (Coleoptera: Meloidae)

Integrative Zoology, Volume 19, Issue 5, Page 975-988, September 2024.
The comparison among newly assembled genomes of five species from the three subfamilies of Meloidae and others already available for blister beetles and canthariphilous species provides new insights into cantharidin biosynthesis and hypermetamorphosis, two crucial aspects of Meloidae biology.

New insect family for Australia: Chrysostylops australiensis Benda & Straka, gen. et sp. nov. (Strepsiptera: Stylopidae) described from Chrysocolletes aureus Leijs & Hogendoorn, 2021 (Hymenoptera: Colletidae)

Austral Entomology, Volume 63, Issue 3, Page 360-368, August 2024.
Abstract A new genus and species of Strepsiptera, Chrysostylops australiensis Benda & Straka, gen. et sp. nov., is described. It represents the first record of the family Stylopidae from Australia. It was parasitising the bee species Chrysocolletes aureus Leijs & Hogendoorn, 2021 (Neopasiphaeinae). The diagnosis and description of the genus and species

Quantifying the potential for wind and phoresy to drive off‐plant movement of crapemyrtle bark scale, Acanthococcus lagerstroemiae (Kuwana) (Hemiptera: Eriococcidae): Implications for spread in urban landscapes

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 26, Issue 2, Page 210-217, May 2024.
Abstract After non‐native herbivores arrive in a novel habitat and establish, they must then disperse to new host plants to continue invading. While flight‐capable insect herbivores can expand their non‐native ranges by flying to new hosts, insects that lack wings, such as female scale insects, are often aided in their spread by wind and phoretic ...
