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.

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.

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.
