Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 12, December 2024.The FAIR‐Device, a novel nonlethal field tool, combines semi‐automatic image capture and AI‐based species identification to monitor insect biodiversity. In a 26‐day proof‐of‐concept evaluation, it recorded 431 individuals across diverse taxa, demonstrating potential as a cost‐effective solution for high‐resolution insect monitoring.

Hypothesis on monochromatic vision in scorpionflies questioned by new transcriptomic data [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2018 AbstractIn the scorpionfly Panorpa, a recent study suggested monochromatic vision due to evidence of only a single opsin found in transcriptome data. To reconsider this hypothesis, the present study investigates opsin expression using transcriptome data of 21 species including representatives of all major lineages of scorpionflies (Mecoptera) and of ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2024.Changes in seasonality have extended the breeding window for migratory birds in North America with earlier springs and later autumns that affect insect availability. DNA metabarcoding and insect surveys revealed that migratory, insectivorous black‐throated blue warblers exhibit diet flexibility in response to seasonal pulses in arthropod prey ...

Palaeoendemic invertebrates weakly reflect palaeoendemic plants across a 52‐year‐old fire boundary
Austral Ecology, Volume 49, Issue 9, September 2024.Palaeoendemic invertebrates are associated with palaeoendemic vascular plants more than could be expected by chance in alpine/subalpine ecosystems on either side of a 52‐year‐old fire boundary. However, some palaeoendemic invertebrates are generalists in their associations with plant species.

Patterns of aerial arthropod biomass and diversity from three regions of boreal Alaska
Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 17, Issue 5, Page 826-855, September 2024.We documented aerial arthropod biomass and diversity over 4 years in three regions in boreal Alaska—two in central Alaska and one in southcentral Alaska. Traps yielded 115,078 specimens of 15 orders and 692 unique taxa. Mean aerial arthropod biomass was more than three times higher in Fairbanks than in Anchorage.

Adapting to changing methodology in a long‐term experiment
Ecosphere, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2024.Abstract Long‐term experiments are critical for understanding ecological processes, but their management comes with unique challenges. As time passes, projects may encounter unavoidable changes due to external factors, like availability of materials, affecting aspects of their research methodology. At the Kellogg Biological Station Long‐Term Ecological

The evolutionary history of Coleoptera (Insecta) in the late Palaeozoic and the Mesozoic
Systematic Entomology, Volume 49, Issue 3, Page 355-388, July 2024.Structural transformations of the elytra and abdomen played a major role in the early beetle evolution in the Permian. Polyphaga appear late in the fossil record, with only a few fossils of Elateriformia in the Late Triassic. Several factors were involved in the enormous diversification of beetles in the Cretaceous but evolutionary interactions with ...

Advanced Science, Volume 11, Issue 23, June 19, 2024.This study utilizes WingSegment, a Computer‐Vision tool, to analyze wing and cell size relationships in 389 Odonata wings. Despite varying wing sizes, statistical analysis shows over 80% of cells measure between 0.5 and 1.5 mm, implying a link to the crack‐stopping function in insect wings.
