Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 2, Page 381-394, April 2026.We evaluated how chronic anthropogenic disturbances (CAD) and seasonal variation influence interactions between ants and plants with extrafloral nectaries (EFN's), with emphasis on the responses of ants, herbivores, and plants. Ant and herbivore diversity remained stable across seasons in the preserved cerrado, whereas the pasture had higher ant ...

You stay, but I Hop: Host shifting near and far co‐dominated the evolution of Enchenopa treehoppers
Ecology and Evolution, 2018 The importance and prevalence of phylogenetic tracking between hosts and dependent organisms caused by co‐evolution and shifting between closely related host species have been debated for decades.

Niche Breadth and Olfactory Context Shape Informed Passive Dispersal
Ecology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 4, April 2026.Experimental evolution reveals that niche breadth modulates informed passive dispersal in phytophagous mites through divergent strategies. While generalists optimise take‐off based on target cue familiarity and signal‐to‐noise ratios, specialists primarily track current host quality to trigger departure.

Phylogenomics illuminates the complex evolutionary history of Bibionomorpha (Diptera)
Systematic Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 2, April‐June 2026.Phylogenomics supports Bibionomorpha (Anisopodoidea, Bibionoidea, Scatopsoidea, Sciaroidea) as a sister to Brachycera, and Axymyiidae and Perissommatidae as a sister to Bibionomorpha + Brachycera. Phylogenetic network analysis tentatively suggests a possible reticulation leading to Bolitophilidae, and mitochondrial data support sex‐specific ...

Forests and climate change - lessons from insects
Forest@, 2004 The climate change may indirectly affects the forest ecosystems through the activity of phytophagous insects. The climate change has been claimed to be responsible of the range expansion northward and upward of several insect species of northern ...
