Canadian goldenrod (Solidago canadensis) invasion affects millipedes and symphylans more than centipedes in an urban meadow

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 18, Issue 2, Page 260-274, March 2025.
Canadian goldenrod (Solidago canadensis) invasion had taxon‐dependent effects on myriapods (Arthropoda: Myriapoda) in a protected urban meadow in Budapest, Hungary. Primary consumers such as millipedes and symphylans seemed to be more affected by the invasion than predators. Centipede assemblages were only affected by soil moisture and not by invasion.

Reduced predation and energy flux in soil food webs by introduced tree species: Bottom‐up control of multitrophic biodiversity across size compartments

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 1, Page 64-76, January 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The introduction of non‐native tree species has become a global concern and may disrupt native communities and related ecosystem functions. Soil food webs regulate organic matter decomposition and nutrient cycling in forests with their feeding activities, but evaluating

Male genitalia, hierarchical homology, and the anatomy of the bullet ant (Paraponera clavata; Hymenoptera, Formicidae)

open access: yesJournal of Morphology, Volume 285, Issue 9, September 2024.
We present a multimodal anatomy of the male genitalia of the bullet ant, Paraponera clavata. Using this as a model system, we expand and refine on the 5‐category system of homology classification proposed by Meneganzin et al. (2024) and we present evidence supporting the penis‐coxopod theory of male genitalic homology in male insects. Abstract The male

The “elongate chelicera problem”: A virtual approach in an extinct pterygotid sea scorpion from a 3D kinematic point of view

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2024.
How pterygotid sea scorpions used their tripartite elongate cheliceres to get prey items close to the mouth region remains a conundrum. We applied four different 3D kinematic settings with regard to insertion and orientation of the cheliceres to examine the most likely way this was realized.

A new, simplified, drying protocol to prepare tardigrades for scanning electron microscopy

open access: yesMicroscopy Research and Technique, Volume 87, Issue 4, Page 716-726, April 2024.
Here a cheap, safe, and fast new method for Tardigrada preparation for scanning electron microscope (SEM) is proposed. The new protocol allows to minimize the number of animals sacrificed for SEM studies and is potentially applicable to the study of other meiofaunal soft‐bodied taxa.

Human modification of land cover alters net primary productivity, species richness and their relationship

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 33, Issue 3, Page 385-399, March 2024.
Abstract Aim Humans have altered ecosystem productivity and biodiversity worldwide by changing land‐cover types and management. High local species richness is commonly found in geographic areas and ecosystems with high net primary productivity (NPP), but the long‐term effects of modification on productivity and biodiversity change, and particularly on ...

Sensing the world without antennae and eyes: external structure and distribution of sensilla in Eosentomon pinetorum Szeptycki, 1984 and on the protarsus of Acerentomon franzi Nosek, 1965 (Hexapoda: Protura)

open access: yesSoil Organisms, 2015
Protura are miniaturized soil arthropods with an enigmatic biology. Among mandibulate arthropods, Protura are outstanding due to the absence of antennae. This study provides the first detailed investigation on external cuticular sensilla in two proturan
