High levels of species' extirpation in an urban environment-A case study from Berlin, Germany, covering 1700-2023. [PDF]
Ecol EvolOur study compiled and analysed spatio‐temporal species' extirpation on a broad taxonomic coverage at the city scale. We revealed high number of extirpations, which are in the twenty‐firstcentury already comparable with previous centuries, and showed that cities might be suitable systems for studying species' extirpation processes due to their small ...

Pathways for accidental biocontrol: The human-mediated dispersal of insect predators and parasitoids. [PDF]
Ecol ApplAbstract Introductions of insect predators and parasitoids for biological control are a key method for pest management. Yet in recent decades, biological control has become more strictly regulated and less frequent. Conversely, the rate of unintentional insect introductions through human activities is rising.

Bionomics and Ecological Services of Megaloptera Larvae (Dobsonflies, Fishflies, Alderflies) [PDF]
Insects, 2019 Megaloptera belong to a large monophyletic group, the Neuropteroidea, together with Coleoptera, Strepsiptera, Raphidioptera, and Neuroptera. With the latter two, this order constitutes the Neuropterida, a smaller monophyletic subset among which it is the

European Journal of Entomology, 2020 Trees in a state of decline exhibit a reduced foliage density and accumulate dead branches in their crowns. Consequently, forest decline can markedly affect both the habitats and sources of food for canopy-dwelling insects.

GBIF falls short of providing a representative picture of the global distribution of insects
Systematic Entomology, Volume 48, Issue 4, Page 489-497, October 2023., 2023 We examine the completeness and biases of the whole data on insects stored up to now in GBIF to examine how far we are from obtaining a minimum representative sample Even at coarser resolutions, 34% of the world terrestrial cells do not have data, one‐third have a completeness greater than 50%, and barely 0.5% would have completeness values above 90 ...

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 23, Issue 1, Page 92-105, January 2023., 2023 Abstract DNA metabarcoding is routinely used for biodiversity assessment, in particular targeting highly diverse groups for which limited taxonomic expertise is available. Various protocols are currently in use, although standardization is key to its application in large‐scale monitoring.
