At present, 108 species of Psocoptera are known from Canada, an increase of 50% from the known fauna reported in 1979. Of these, 56 have been barcoded, representing 162 Barcode Identification Numbers (BINs). An additional 67 species are expected to occur

Exploring the Mitogenomes of Acroneuriinae: The First Report of Gene Rearrangements in Plecoptera Species and Phylogenetic Analyses of Perlidae. [PDF]
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.

Embryonic Development of Appasus japonicus Vuillefroy, With Special Reference to Mouthparts Formation (Insecta: Heteroptera, Belostomatidae). [PDF]
In this study, we provide a detailed description of the embryonic development of Appasus japonicus, focusing on the formation of its specialized mouthparts. We identify homologies between the maxillary plate and maxillary palp and most parts of the stylet‐like mandibles and maxillae are housed within the labial palp.

A Novel Invertebrate Predator on an Oceanic Island: Impacts and Invasion Dynamics of <i>Kontikia andersoni</i> on Macquarie Island. [PDF]
This study examines the invasion dynamics of the predatory invertebrate flatworm Kontikia andersoni, and its impacts on the invertebrate communities of sub‐Antarctic Macquarie Island. Our findings indicate that at higher elevations where K. andersoni is present there are significant reductions in invertebrate richness.

Insufficient Logging Intervals Impede Upper Soil Recovery in Temperate Beech Forests: Insights From Two Case-Studies in Poland. [PDF]
This study examined the effects of forest operations on soil microarthropod biodiversity and litter decomposition in temperate beech forests, comparing disturbed and undisturbed soils across different harvesting timelines. While litter decomposition remained unaffected, significant soil disturbances were found in areas impacted by machine passage, with

Large-Scale Integrative Taxonomy of the Smallest Insects Reveals Astonishing Temperate Diversity (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea: Mymaridae). [PDF]
ABSTRACT Fairyflies (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea: Mymaridae) are a diverse but taxonomically understudied group of parasitoid wasps that attack the eggs of other insects. Being among the very smallest of all insects, they are often ignored in biodiversity surveys despite being one of the most abundant microhymenoptera in many habitats.
