New species of rove-beetles (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae) from the Southern Russia [PDF]

open access: yesКавказский энтомологический бюллетень, 2005
Four new species of rove beetles are described from the southern part of European Russia and Northern Caucasus: Philonthus annae sp. n., closely related to Ph. albipes Gravenhorst, 1802 and Ph. alpinus Eppelsheim, 1875; Rabigus fomitschevi sp.

Current desires of conspecific observers affect cache-protection strategies in California scrub-jays and Eurasian jays [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Many corvid species accurately remember the locations where they have seen others cache food, allowing them to pilfer these caches efficiently once the cachers have left the scene [1] .

Impact of the Highly Invasive Signal Crayfish (Pacifastacus leniusculus) on Freshwater Macroinvertebrate Communities

open access: yesFreshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Invasive non‐native species threaten freshwater ecosystems, disrupting the functioning and structure of the food chain and potentially leading to biodiversity loss. As omnivores, crayfish can modify their environment, directly affecting organisms such as macroinvertebrates.

Co-evolution of male and female reproductive traits across the Bruchidae (Coleoptera) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
1. Despite the obvious importance of spermatozoa to individual reproductive success a general explanation of variation in spermatozoan form and function is still lacking. In species with internal fertilization, sperm not only have to interact with the

Thermophilization over space but not time among communities of ground‐dwelling arthropods in a desert city

open access: yesEcology, Volume 107, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Thermophilization of communities, or shifts in composition favoring more warm‐adapted species, over time and space is a common response to warming from global climate change and localized effects of land‐use change. However, the interplay between community thermophilization driven by temporal warming in global climate and spatial warming in ...

Silica nanoparticles as pesticide against insects of different feeding types and their non-target attraction of predators

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
The agricultural use of silica (SiO2) nanoparticles (NPs) has the potential to control insect pests while the safety and tritrophic effects on plants and beneficial natural enemies remains unknown.

Myrmecophily in beetles (Coleoptera): evolutionary patterns and biological mechanisms [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Socially parasitic myrmecophily has evolved numerous times in arthropods, but myrmecophilous lineages are non-randomly distributed across phylogeny. Evolution of this way of life is heavily biased towards the Coleoptera, within this order towards rove ...

Hox-logic of preadaptations for social insect symbiosis in rove beetles [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
How symbiotic lifestyles evolve from free-living ecologies is poorly understood. Novel traits mediating symbioses may stem from preadaptations: features of free-living ancestors that predispose taxa to engage in nascent interspecies relationships.

Vat photopolymerization‐based bioprinting: Shaping next‐generation tissues with light

open access: yesInterdisciplinary Medicine, Volume 4, Issue 1, January 2026.
Vat photopolymerization‐based bioprinting is revolutionizing biofabrication by enabling high‐precision construction of biological structures. This review systematically examines photopolymerization mechanisms and variants in printing techniques, discusses design principles and composition of bio‐inks, and highlights recent progress toward next ...
