A Regional DNA Barcode Library for Northern Rocky Mountain Arthropods to Support Biodiversity and Molecular Ecological Research. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe developed the MPG Ranch Arthropod Library (MPG‐AL), a COI DNA barcode reference library for arthropods of the Northern Rocky Mountains, to address gaps in barcode coverage for the western United States. From 86,533 specimens collected in Montana, we generated 52,270 DNA barcodes spanning 38 orders and 1793 species, adding 5154 Barcode Index Numbers (

Mitigating light pollution impacts on arthropods based on light-emitting diode properties. [PDF]
Conserv BiolAbstract Light pollution from artificial light at night (ALAN) is a significant environmental problem with far‐reaching consequences for ecological systems. Recent innovations in light‐emitting diode (LED) technology may offer sustainable outdoor lighting solutions, but scientific evidence is lacking. We investigated the effects of various LED lighting

Are Findings of Key Insect Metrics Generalizable Across Different Taxa in Malaise Trap Samples? [PDF]
Ecol EvolMalaise traps are increasingly used for global insect monitoring. However, it remains unclear whether patterns in total insect biomass from these traps reflect only changes in dominant taxa, or whether they reflect changes in other key community metrics and taxonomic groups.

Neuropterida and Mecoptera from the North-Western Caucasus [PDF]
Кавказский энтомологический бюллетень, 2019 An extensive study of Neuropteroidea and Mecoptera collected in Krasnodar Region and the Republic of Adygea in 2018 allowed the discovery of new species for the regions and for Russia, clarification of the taxonomic affiliation of some dubious specimens,

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.

Systematic Entomology, Volume 48, Issue 1, Page 69-96, January 2023., 2023 A reevaluation of †Tshecardocoleidae revealed that crucial character transformations took place in the Permian. Phylogenetic analyses show that Coleoptera excluding †Tshecardocoleidae are strongly supported as a clade (Mesocoleoptera). Taxon exclusion experiments demonstrate that †Tshecardocoleidae are crucial for understanding the early evolution of ...

Papers in Palaeontology, Volume 8, Issue 4, July/August 2022., 2022 Abstract Glosselytrodeans are enigmatic extinct (Permian–Jurassic) insects classified in their own order. The monophyly of Glosselytrodea is not universally accepted and its large‐scale relationships remain problematic, namely because its diversity is largely known from hardened (i.e. tegmenized/‘elytrized’) forewings of allegedly derived forms.

Journal of Morphology, Volume 283, Issue 6, Page 693-770, June 2022., 2022 The ant abdomen is critically understudied, despite its functional, evolutionary, and systematic importance. Using physical dissection, scanning electron microscope, histology, and microcomputed tomography, we provide the first complete treatment of the skeletomusculature, exocrine glands, and other major organs of the abdomen.
