Hybridization in Phlebotominae (Diptera: Psychodidae): A mini-review
Infection, Genetics and Evolution, 2020 Taxonomy based only on morphology, although extremely important for the classification of sandflies, has been shown to be insufficient for the delimitation of some taxa. Thus, integrative taxonomy could play a fundamental role in clarifying these and other taxonomic issues, since data from different areas are used to aggregate greater reliability in ...

Robot‐Aided Measurement of Insect Diversity on Vegetation Using Environmental DNA
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 5, May 2025.We developed a novel method combining drone‐based sampling and environmental DNA (eDNA) with Oxford Nanopore sequencing to monitor insect biodiversity on vegetation. Using a DJI Matrice 3 drone, we collected eDNA samples from grassland, shrub and forest habitats in Switzerland, detecting 64 insect taxa and revealing habitat‐specific differences in ...
