A specialized prey-capture apparatus in mid-Cretaceous rove beetles [PDF]
Current Biology, 2019 Cai et al. report specialized prey-capture structures in two species of the stenine rove beetles from mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber. The discovery provides critical information about the origin and early evolution of both the novel predatory structure and of the subfamily Steninae (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae).

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.Precopulatory mating behaviour, are important for fitness and can be disrupted by heatwave's. Here we assess how differing levels of intrasexual and intrasexual selection in precopulatory mating behaviours impacts fitness responses to heatwaves. We find that the likelihood of having a brood is impacted by differences in intrasexual and intersexual ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.The Eurasian crane (Grus grus), a symbol of conservation success in Europe, has made an impressive recovery. However, our results show that over the study period, juvenile survival declined by almost 30% overall, while sub‐adults experienced a smaller decrease, and adults showed no change.

Effects of undersowing maize with a diverse annual flower mixture on insect abundance and diversity
Basic and Applied EcologyBiodiversity is declining globally, largely driven by anthropogenic land use. In Germany, maize occupies a large proportion of arable land and its cultivation is often viewed critically from an ecological perspective.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.In west‐central British Columbia, large populations of feral horses overlap with native species like caribou and predators such as wolves and cougars, potentially disrupting predator–prey dynamics. Between 2019 and 2025, researchers documented multiple instances of wolf and cougar predation on feral horses—the first such confirmed cases in the region ...

Fires and Clear-Cuttings as Local Areas of Arthropod Diversity in Polar Regions: Khibiny Mountains
FireThe well-known phenomenon of attracting untypical animals to disturbed territories has been poorly investigated in the polar mountains. We studied arthropod diversity in self-healing industrial clear-cuts and burn areas in the Khibiny Mountains, Kola ...

Effects of large herbivores on grassland arthropod diversity [PDF]
, 2015 Both arthropods and large grazing herbivores are important components and drivers of biodiversity in grassland ecosystems, but a synthesis of how arthropod diversity is affected by large herbivores has been largely missing. To fill this gap, we conducted

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.We 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 (
