Body Size Trade‐Offs Underpin Reproductive Success and Thermal Stress Tolerance in an Invasive Pest, the Small Hive Beetle

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
Body size differences have widely been observed in adult small hive beetles (Aethina tumida Murray, SHBs), an invasive pest of honey bee colonies. We hypothesized that parental body size influences reproductive performance, progeny fitness, and stress tolerance in SHBs.

Taming the waterways: The Europeanization of Southern Québec's riverside landscapes during the 16th–18th centuries [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The arrival of Europeans in the New World effected the interaction of 2 temperate biogeographical eco-zones: the Palaearctic and Nearctic. Alfred Crosby has hypothesized that the success of the Europeans as imperialists was due, in part, to the ability ...

Using deep learning to assess the toxicological effects of sublethal exposure of a novel green pesticide in a stored‐product beetle

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 5, Page 4319-4331, May 2026.
This study employs an AI‐driven multidisciplinary approach to increase our understanding of the toxicological effects of sublethal concentrations of carlina oxide on Prostephanus truncatus. Sublethal exposure to the carlina oxide induced changes in motor patterns and thigmotaxis, highlighting its potential role in integrated pest management strategies.

Run to the nest: A parody on the Iron Maiden song by Corotoca spp. (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae)

open access: yesPapéis Avulsos de Zoologia, 2019
Rove beetles belonging to the genus Corotoca (Staphylinidae: Aleocharinae) are termitophiles exclusively found in nests of Constrictotermes (Isoptera: Termitidae). We observed the reproductive behavior of Corotoca melantho and C.

Arthropod niche differentiation linked to grazing‐induced sward islets in intensively managed agricultural pasture

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 3, Page 598-620, May 2026.
In a given number of samples, grassland sward islets contain more species of arthropods than the surrounding sward. When corrected for abundance, there is no difference in species richness, suggesting that the effect of islets might purely be to concentrate arthropods. The community structure differences indicated by non‐metric multidimensional scaling

The First Cleaner Ant? A Novel Partnership in the Arizona Desert

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
I give an account of an undescribed ant species from Arizona that licks and nips the much larger workers of a different ant species in manner remarkably parallel to the actions of cleaner fish that clean other kinds of fish. Specifically, the potentially aggressive individuals being tended encourage these attentions by stationing themselves in a ...

Abundance, Distribution and Population Trends of Waterbirds in the Usangu Wetland: A Biodiversity Hotspot Threatened by Human Activities

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
Waterbirds play vital ecological roles in wetland ecosystems. This study reports variations for 34 species of waterbirds across study sites of Usangu Wetland abundance with distribution bias in rice farms. The waterbird population trend is declining because of habitat alteration and hunting hence conservation measures should be taken to enhance ...

The Effects of Crop Type and Production Systems on the Activity of Beneficial Invertebrates [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Beneficial invertebrate activity (13 groups) was assessed in five crop types on a split-plot experimental system in northern England using pitfall trapping and suction sampling in May-October 2005.
