Priority areas for arthropod conservation in the Iberian Peninsula and Balearic Islands: Insights from a multi‐taxon distributional database

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 4, Page 757-768, July 2026.
Using over 416,000 occurrence records from 13 arthropod groups (6233 arthropod species), we mapped large‐scale richness patterns and identified biodiversity hotspots across the Iberian Peninsula and Balearic Islands. Hotspot congruence among arthropod groups was low, underscoring the importance of integrative, multi‐taxon approaches for conservation ...

Comparative morphology and evolutionary implications of larval mouthparts in ten lineages of Scarabaeoidea (Coleoptera) [PDF]

open access: yesArthropod Systematics & Phylogeny
Larvae of the megadiverse Scarabaeoidea play important economic and ecological roles, and their mouthparts provide valuable morphological clues for species identification and dietary inference.

Who prefers the dark? Daily activity of dung beetles from an Amazonian region

open access: yesEcological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 3, Page 609-613, June 2026.
Daily activity patterns shape how dung beetle species coexist in Amazonian forests, revealing temporal niches that reduce competition and structure biodiversity. We compared species richness, abundance and assemblage composition of dung beetles sampled during day and night in a conserved terra‐firme forest in the Brazilian Amazon. Although richness and

Effects of soil physical properties on dung beetle assemblages in pasture landscapes of the Brazilian Cerrado

open access: yesAgricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 28, Issue 2, Page 169-181, May 2026.
We assessed the effect of the type of soil texture (loamy sand and sandy loam) and its physical properties on dung beetle species assemblages in a pastureland region of the Brazilian Cerrado. We found a reduction in the total and paracoprid beetle abundances in loamy sand soil. Furthermore, the increase of soil compaction negatively affected the entire

Global impacts of agricultural and timber plantations on dung beetle biodiversity

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 4, April 2026.
In vulnerable areas, protecting natural forests can help to reduce biodiversity loss. When economic and social contexts, such as in the Neotropical and Oriental regions, hinder conservation strategies, establishing small‐scale plantations of native, structurally diverse species connected to remaining forests may enhance dung beetle diversity, likely ...
