The Cephalic Morphology of Protopselaphus-A Phylogenetic Connecting Link in Staphylinidae (Coleoptera). [PDF]
J MorpholThe head morphology including soft tissues of an ethanol‐preserved specimen of Protopselaphus was examined using synchrotron‐µCT and SEM and interpreted with respect to their possible phylogenetic implications. Our findings strongly support the monophyly of Protopselaphinae + Pselaphinae, with adult cephalic synapomorphies including the vertical ...

Arthropod abundances track soil fertility across a lowland tropical forest landscape. [PDF]
J Anim EcolThis study reveals strong, diverse associations between soil phosphorus and the abundances of understorey arthropods across a lowland tropical forest landscape. These patterns were not paralleled in an adjacent site‐level fertilisation experiment, raising the interesting possibility that arthropod–phosphorus associations could be mediated by spatial ...
