Insect ectoparasites from wild passerine birds in the Czech Republic
Parasite, 2008 Wild passerine birds (Passeriformes) from northeastern part of the Czech Republic were examined for ectoparasites. Three species of louse-flies of the genus Ornithomya (Diptera: Hippoboscidae), two species of fleas of the genera Ceratophyllus and ...

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 39, Issue 4, Page 664-674, December 2025.Ectoparasites showed significant δ15N enrichment compared to their hosts, indicating trophic enrichment, but δ13C preservation varied. Lice, fleas and ticks preserve their hosts' isotopic fingerprints to varying degrees, with lice reflecting host dietary patterns most closely, likely due to their exclusive, host‐specific feeding behaviour. The presence

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.First reported gene rearrangements in plecopteran mitogenomes. The monophyly of the subfamily Acroneuriinae and the phylogenetic relationships among tribes within this subfamily are still controversial. ABSTRACT Perlidae represents one of the most diverse and ecologically important groups within the order Plecoptera.

Predictions of Future Insect Distributions Under Climate Change
Diversity and Distributions, Volume 31, Issue 10, October 2025.ABSTRACT Aim Climate change has severe consequences for insects worldwide, many of which play key ecological roles. Despite a large literature predicting insect distribution changes over future climate change, a synthesis of predictions of insect responses to climate change in the literature is still lacking. Location Global.

The loss of the urea cycle and ornithine metabolism in different insect orders: An omics approach
Insect Molecular Biology, Volume 34, Issue 5, Page 632-644, October 2025.Among urea cycle enzymes, only the nitric oxide synthase gene is universally present across insect genomes. All Hemiptera species lack the enzymes needed to convert citrulline to arginine, and some also lack the pathway from arginine to ornithine. Putrescine and spermidine synthesis is conserved in all insects, but aphids lack the capability to produce
