Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.Two new species of Babinskaiidae are reported from the mid‐Cretaceous of Myanmar and the morphological divergence of the family across the Cretaceous is quantified. The Babinskaiidae assemblages from the Lower Cretaceous Crato Formation and the Upper Cretaceous Kachin amber are separated by a pronounced morphological divergence in both overall size and

Carboniferous fossils enlighten the systematics and evolution of Hemiptera
Papers in Palaeontology, Volume 12, Issue 2, March/April 2026.Abstract Fossils are witnesses to the evolutionary processes undergone by living lineages. The earliest occurrence of clades provides rich insights into the timing of diversification of lineages and better delimits the groups that compose them. Hemiptera are a remarkable order within the insects due to their high morphological and ecological diversity.

Habitat Modification by Grazing Lawns Reduces Soil Mite Diversity in a South African National Park
African Journal of Ecology, Volume 64, Issue 2, March 2026.ABSTRACT Soil mesofauna are an integral part of the functioning of an ecosystem. They are relatively small in body size, occur in varying habitats and operate in a range of ecological niches. Soil mites are quite sensitive to changes in their environment and contribute to several important ecosystem services in their environments.

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 2, Page 243-253, March 2026.ABSTRACT Previous studies on Cydia pomonella eggs have demonstrated reliable egg adhesion to the leaves and fruits of various apple cultivars. In contrast to biological substrates, this study is focused on standardised synthetic substrates to measure egg pull‐off forces and determine adhesive strength, allowing for an unbiased comparison with other ...

The enigmatic case of Lipoptena sp. in the Bosco della Mesola Nature Reserve (Italy)
Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 40, Issue 1, Page 82-90, March 2026.This is the first report of Lipoptena andaluciensis in Italy, confirmed morphologically and genetically. The presence of L. andaluciensis in Italy dates back many years; it was found on cervids in lowland habitats. A re‐examination of the previous report of the Italian L. fortisetosa is needed.

Morphological and biomechanical adaptations of larval mandibles in Trichoptera (Insecta)
Physiological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, Page 85-114, March 2026.Mandible morphology differs between predators and grazers: predators show pointed incisors, grazers sharp edges and setae. Mechanical properties depend on cuticle tanning, not elemental reinforcement. Functional mandible types reflect feeding strategies, with predators specialized for prey capture and grazers for scraping and collecting.
