EntoSieve: Automated Size‐Sorting of Insect Bulk Samples to Aid Accurate Megabarcoding and Metabarcoding

open access: yesMolecular Ecology Resources, Volume 25, Issue 6, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Widespread insect decline necessitates the development and use of standardized protocols for regular monitoring. These methods have to be rapid, efficient and cost‐effective to allow for large‐scale implementation. Many insect sampling and molecular methods have been developed.

Effects of land cover and protected areas on flying insect diversity

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 4, August 2025.
Abstract Widespread insect losses are a critical global problem. Mitigating this problem requires identifying the principal drivers across different taxa and determining which insects are covered by protected areas. However, doing so is hindered by missing information on most species owing to extremely high insect diversity and difficulties in ...

The functional analytic foundation of Colombeau algebras [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Colombeau algebras constitute a convenient framework for performing nonlinear operations like multiplication on Schwartz distributions. Many variants and modifications of these algebras exist for various applications.

Scientists' warning on the need for greater inclusion of dragonflies in global conservation

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 18, Issue 4, Page 465-484, July 2025.
Stressors to dragonflies are multiple, and in many cases interactive. Specialist species are at risk, while generalists can benefit from some human activities. Dragonflies are sentinels for conservation, being promising surrogates for other taxa while also being appealing to citizen science initiatives.

The Environmental and Ecological Benefits of Edible Insects: A Review

open access: yesFood Science &Nutrition, Volume 13, Issue 6, June 2025.
Edible insects offer a sustainable and nutrient‐rich alternative to traditional protein sources, with significantly lower environmental impacts. This review highlights the nutritional composition of various insect species and explores their role in biodiversity, agricultural support, and food system sustainability, emphasizing their potential to ...

Mapping Local Climate Zones for a Worldwide Database of the Form and Function of Cities [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Progress in urban climate science is severely restricted by the lack of useful information that describes aspects of the form and function of cities at a detailed spatial resolution.

Microbial Responses to Micronutrient Amendments in Oxygenated and Deoxygenated Waters of the Arabian Sea

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 17, Issue 3, June 2025.
Microcosm experiments and 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing show that micronutrients (Zn, Fe, Co) or their combination (Zn + Fe + Co) significantly influence nutrient concentrations and microbial dynamics in both oxygenated (73 m) and deoxygenated (200 m) waters of the Arabian Sea.

Enhancing Learners' Reading Comprehension With Preferred Background Music: An Eye‐Tracking, EEG, and Heart Rate Study

open access: yesReading Research Quarterly, Volume 60, Issue 2, April/May/June 2025.
ABSTRACT It is often observed that many learners prefer reading texts with background music (BGM), which may enhance engagement and mood in reading. However, the impact of BGM on reading comprehension performance or process remains heterogeneous. This study examined how learners' self‐provided preferred BGM affected reading comprehension accuracy and ...

Higher bee species richness in conservation areas compared with non‐conservation areas in south‐west Germany

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 18, Issue 2, Page 191-205, March 2025.
Malaise trap records from Baden‐Württemberg, Germany, show that sites within conservation areas have higher bee species richness than sites in non‐conservation areas. Endangered bee species were closely associated with sites in conservation areas. However, flying insect biomass from 2018 to 2023 was not affected by conservation status.

Metabarcoding advances agricultural invertebrate biomonitoring by enhancing resolution, increasing throughput and facilitating network inference

open access: yesAgricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 27, Issue 1, Page 50-66, February 2025.
Abstract Biomonitoring of agriculturally important insects is increasingly vital given our need to understand: (a) the severity of impacts by pests and pathogens on crop yield and health and (b) the impact of environmental change and land management on insects, in line with sustainable development and global conservation targets.
