A new Epipsocus (Psocodea: Psocomorpha: Epipsocidae) from the Brazilian Amazonia, with supernumerary forewing venation [PDF]

Iheringia: Série Zoologia, 2019
Epipsocus manausensis sp. nov., a new psocid species from state of Amazonas, Brazil is here described and illustrated. It differs from all the other species of the genus in having a crossvein between the pterostigma and Rs, in having R2+3 and R4+5 forked

Population genomics of seal lice provides insights into the postglacial history of northern European seals

Molecular Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 20, October 2024.
Abstract Genetic analyses of host‐specific parasites can elucidate the evolutionary histories and biological features of their hosts. Here, we used population‐genomic analyses of ectoparasitic seal lice (Echinophthirius horridus) to shed light on the postglacial history of seals in the Arctic Ocean and the Baltic Sea region.

Black‐throated blue warblers (Setophaga caerulescens) exhibit diet flexibility and track seasonal changes in insect availability

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2024.
Changes in seasonality have extended the breeding window for migratory birds in North America with earlier springs and later autumns that affect insect availability. DNA metabarcoding and insect surveys revealed that migratory, insectivorous black‐throated blue warblers exhibit diet flexibility in response to seasonal pulses in arthropod prey ...

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

Journal 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

A new Archipsocidae (Psocodea: Psocomorpha) from the middle Miocene Zhangpu amber, China [PDF]

A new species of Archipsocidae, Archipsocus palaeosinicus n. sp., is described and illustrated from the middle Miocene Zhangpu amber. This taxon possesses all the synapomorphies of the Archipsocidae family and can be confidently classified within the ...

Patterns of aerial arthropod biomass and diversity from three regions of boreal Alaska

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 17, Issue 5, Page 826-855, September 2024.
We documented aerial arthropod biomass and diversity over 4 years in three regions in boreal Alaska—two in central Alaska and one in southcentral Alaska. Traps yielded 115,078 specimens of 15 orders and 692 unique taxa. Mean aerial arthropod biomass was more than three times higher in Fairbanks than in Anchorage.

Multi‐dimensional niche differentiation of two sympatric breeding secondary cave‐nesting birds in Northeast China using DNA metabarcoding

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2024.
Two sympatric secondary cavity‐nesting bird species have significant niche differentiation in breeding time and diet. Abstract Niche theory predicts that ecologically similar sympatric species should show differentiation in at least one of the main niche dimensions (time, space, and/or food). Here, we combined observations of breeding timing, nest site

Capacity and establishment rules govern the number of nonnative species in communities of ground‐dwelling invertebrates

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2024.
We use the North American NEON pitfall trapping network to document the number of nonnative species from 51 invertebrate communities, testing four classes of drivers. We found evidence for two types of constraints on nonnative diversity. Consistent with Capacity rules (i.e., how the number of niches and individuals reflect the number of species an ...
