Habitat Heterogeneity Drives Niche Partitioning and Morphological Divergence in Two Parapatric Diploderma Lizard Species

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
This study focused on two closely related parapatric species, Diploderma yangi and D. slowinskii, which occupy contrasting microhabitats across the Nujiang River Basin in western China. The analysis integrated environmental, morphological, and dietary datasets to elucidate how niche partitioning stabilizes species boundaries in a landscape ...

Insects and Survival: A Review of Primary and Secondary Defense Strategies

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 7, Page 601-624, July 2026.
Based on a review of three decades of literature, insect defense mechanisms are classified into primary (I) and secondary (II) mechanisms of behavioral, morphological, and chemical nature. These mechanisms have been recorded in 22 (I) and 20 (II) orders, respectively.

Strong diel variation in the activity of insect taxa sampled by Malaise traps

Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 3, Page 533-546, June 2026.
Malaise traps sampled different communities during mornings (06:00–12:00), afternoons (12:00–16:00), evenings (18:00–22:00), and nights (22:00–06:00), highlighting the difference in diel rhythm between taxa. The highest diversity and abundance of insects were found during afternoons, the lowest diversity during night, and the lowest abundance during ...

Benthic Biodiversity in Subarctic Stream Networks: Headwaters as Upholders of Variation Through Space and Time

Freshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Headwaters often contribute disproportionately to network‐scale benthic biodiversity as differences in community composition between separate headwater streams (β‐diversity) can be high although local (α) diversity may be low. Most research on stream β‐diversity has adopted a spatial perspective, whereas temporal β‐diversity remains largely ...

Investigation of the global transportation of Culicoides biting midges, vectors of livestock and equid arboviruses, from flower‐packing plants in Kenya

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 260-267, June 2026.
Arboviral diseases spread by Culicoides biting midges have been introduced into Europe by unknown means. A possible route is the carriage of midges with cut flowers shipped to flower markets. We sampled Culicoides in and around a cut flower farm in Kenya; midges were caught in the vicinity and a greenhouse, but not where flowers are processed.
