Reviving of Coenonympha oedippus: A comprehensive approach to the reintroduction of an endangered European butterfly

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
The reintroduction of the endangered butterfly Coenonympha oedippus is the first conservation translocation of an invertebrate species in Slovenia. Three years after reintroduction, the population showed an 87% growth rate, demonstrating the effectiveness of the selected reintroduction site and its management, the source individuals and the protocols ...

DNA from museum samples of a parasitoid wasp genus (Braconidae: Syntretus) offers novel insights into host‐parasitoid interactions

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Our investigation applied genome skimming to museum specimens of Syntretus, a parasitoid wasp, due to its suspected parasitism of short‐haired bumblebee (Bombus subterraneus) queens during a reintroduction programme. We detected two clades within Syntretus, a possible consequence of host choice.

Maritime midge radiations in the Pacific Ocean (Diptera: Chironomidae)

open access: yesSystematic Entomology, Volume 48, Issue 1, Page 111-126, January 2023., 2023
We identify and confirm eight transitions from freshwater to the marine realm in the Chironomidae, based on a fossil‐calibrated phylogenetic framework. We recognise for the first time an unexpected but robust sister group of Pontomyia to be a new clade of exclusively marine species, Yaetanytarsus, forming the sister group to the diverse and global ...

Answering key bumble bee conservation questions by studying discovered wild nests: A Bombus affinis case study

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
The information learned from discovered wild bumble bee nests can be of great conservation value if studied in situ and post‐season excavation in a standardised way. We provide standardised guidance to follow when nest discoveries arise, including key conservation questions and methodological guidelines to study behaviour, floral use, genetics, body ...
