Carboniferous fossils enlighten the systematics and evolution of Hemiptera

Papers in Palaeontology, Volume 12, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Abstract Fossils are witnesses to the evolutionary processes undergone by living lineages. The earliest occurrence of clades provides rich insights into the timing of diversification of lineages and better delimits the groups that compose them. Hemiptera are a remarkable order within the insects due to their high morphological and ecological diversity.

Separation of Goniocotes Burmeister, 1838, and Dictyocotes Kéler, 1940 (Phthiraptera: Ischnocera), with descriptions of four new species

European Journal of Taxonomy
The ischnoceran louse genus Dictyocotes Kéler, 1940, has long been considered a synonym of Goniocotes Burmeister, 1838, but the genus has never been revised.

Stable isotope analysis of ectoparasites as a tool for understanding trophic interactions with mammalian hosts

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

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.

Using fecal DNA metabarcoding to investigate the animal diet of black rails, yellow rails, and soras

Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 49, Issue 3, September 2025.
We used fecal DNA metabarcoding to investigate the diet of yellow rails, Eastern black rails, and sora during the non‐breeding season. Arthropods, particularly ants, were prevalent in their diets, suggesting possible interactions with invasive red imported fire ants.

Three new psocids (Insecta, Psocodea, 'Psocoptera') for the Maltese fauna

Bulletin of the Entomological Society of Malta, 2016
Recently, the psocid fauna of the Maltese Islands was studied in some detail and 27 species were reported from this archipelago (Lienhard & Mifsud, 2015). Further collections revealed the presence of three additional species, information on which can be found inside this article.

Characterization of the complete mitochondrial genome of a barklouse, Lepinotus sp. (Psocodea: Trogiomorpha: Trogiidae)

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2021
Barklice in the genus Lepinotus (Psocoptera: Trogiidae) are small, soft-bodied stored-product pests that are difficult to control. We sequenced and annotated the mitochondrial (mt) genome of Lepinotus sp. The mt genome of Lepinotus sp.
