Diversity of Sarcophagidae (Insecta, Diptera) associated with decomposing carcasses in a rural area of the State of Minas Gerais, Brazil

EntomoBrasilis, 2019
. Cerrado biome presents high biodiversity, but it still lacks works that focus on entomological inventories. New records for species of Sarcophagidae were provided, including the first record of Blaesoxipha (Acridiophaga) caridei (Brèthes) to Brazil ...

Vectors and Vector‐Borne Diseases: Biology, Epidemiology and Integrated Control Strategies

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 7, Page 990-1015, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Vector‐Borne Diseases (VBDs), transmitted by arthropods such as mosquitoes, ticks, fleas and sandflies, represent a significant threat to global health. These diseases can be caused by a variety of pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and helminths.

Expanding the Ecological Application of Invertebrate‐Derived DNA (iDNA) for Monitoring Terrestrial Mammals Using a Single‐Species Approach

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 4, July‐August 2026.
A novel single‐species, invertebrate‐derived eDNA (iDNA) method is presented for identifying European Brown Bear presence. Fly‐borne bear DNA remains readily identifiable for 24 h within flies and can be detected when just one fly in 20 has fed on bear scat. The method is effective both in laboratory and field settings. ABSTRACT Successful conservation

Insecticides alter wild and managed pollination dynamics on oil crop yield

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 7, July 2026.
Our results show that combining honey bee hives with insecticide use does not automatically enhance crop yield. Pollination outcomes are strongly scale‐ and context‐dependent, with wild pollinators providing disproportionately important services. Agricultural management should therefore prioritize integrated strategies that reduce pesticide pressure ...

Insects and Survival: A Review of Primary and Secondary Defense Strategies

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 7, Page 601-624, July 2026.
Based on a review of three decades of literature, insect defense mechanisms are classified into primary (I) and secondary (II) mechanisms of behavioral, morphological, and chemical nature. These mechanisms have been recorded in 22 (I) and 20 (II) orders, respectively.

Hairy, hairy quite contrary: Pollination and functional floral traits in a hirsute carrion‐scented stapeliad

TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract Floral mimicry of decaying substrates of animal origin, such as carrion or faeces, is associated with unusual traits such as geoflory, deep maroon or yellow colouration, floral hairs and unpleasant odour, but the functional significance of these traits for attracting and manipulating pollinators has seldom been examined.
