Truncated TPPP – An Endopterygota-specific protein

Heliyon, 2021
TPPP proteins exhibiting microtubule stabilizing function constitute a eukaryotic protein superfamily, characterized by the presence of the p25alpha domain of various lengths.

Predictions of Future Insect Distributions Under Climate Change

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 31, Issue 10, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Climate change has severe consequences for insects worldwide, many of which play key ecological roles. Despite a large literature predicting insect distribution changes over future climate change, a synthesis of predictions of insect responses to climate change in the literature is still lacking. Location Global.

Are Findings of Key Insect Metrics Generalizable Across Different Taxa in Malaise Trap Samples?

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 8, August 2025.
Malaise 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.

Comparative study of larval head structures of Megaloptera (Hexapoda)

European Journal of Entomology, 2008
External and internal head structures of the larva of Neohermes are described in detail. The results are compared to conditions found in other representatives of Corydalidae, in Sialidae, and in Raphidioptera and Neuroptera.

Two decades of arthropod biodiversity after windthrow show different dynamics of functional groups

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 2, Page 371-387, February 2025.
Our study shows that windthrow causes an initial boost of arthropod diversity. While abundances thereafter rapidly decline, species numbers remain at relatively high levels during at least two decades. Unsalvaged windthrows are an indispensable resource for endangered species, particularly in later wood decay stages.

An integrative phylogenomic approach to elucidate the evolutionary history and divergence times of Neuropterida (Insecta: Holometabola)

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2020
Background The latest advancements in DNA sequencing technologies have facilitated the resolution of the phylogeny of insects, yet parts of the tree of Holometabola remain unresolved.

Pathways for accidental biocontrol: The human‐mediated dispersal of insect predators and parasitoids

Ecological Applications, Volume 34, Issue 8, December 2024.
Abstract 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.

Non-target insects captured in tephritid fruit fly (Diptera: Tephritidae) surveillance traps in South Korea: a survey-based study

Journal of Asia-Pacific Biodiversity, 2019
In 2017, a total of 82 non-target species representing six orders of insects were captured in four types of tephritid fruit fly (Diptera: Tephritidae) surveillance traps located in Korea; the species included six families of Coleoptera, one of ...

Performance of DNA metabarcoding, standard barcoding and morphological approaches in the identification of insect biodiversity

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 24, Issue 8, November 2024.
Abstract For two decades, DNA barcoding and, more recently, DNA metabarcoding have been used for molecular species identification and estimating biodiversity. Despite their growing use, few studies have systematically evaluated these methods.
