New Fossil Megalopteran and Megalopteran-like Larvae, a First Extinct Larval Morphology of Megaloptera, and Possible Larvae of Myxophagan Beetles [PDF]
InsectsWe report new fossil larval specimens that have characters of the group Megaloptera, i.e., are either megalopteran or megalopteran-like larvae from the Triassic, Cretaceous, or Eocene. Fossils from the latter two times are preserved in amber.

Wing base structural data support the sister relationship of megaloptera and neuroptera (insecta: neuropterida). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 The phylogenetic status and the monophyly of the holometabolous insect order Megaloptera has been an often disputed and long unresolved problem. The present study attempts to infer phylogenetic relationships among three orders, Megaloptera, Neuroptera ...

Mitteilungen Aus Dem Museum Fur Naturkunde in Berlin - Deutsche Entomologische Zeitschrift, 2015 The alderfly genus Ilyobius Enderlein, 1910 is one of the rare groups of Sialidae and mainly distributed in the Neotropical region. Here we describe a new species, I. curvata sp. n., from Panama and Colombia. Furthermore, we provide re-description on two

Dietary overlap and selectivity among mountain steppe river fish in the United States and Mongolia. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2023 The introduction of nonnative species can influence the dietary characteristics of native species. We compared fishes in rivers with and without the presence of nonnative species to compare the diets of native species. We found nonnative species had more generalist diets and greater dietary overlaps compared to native species. Abstract Lotic systems in

Hydrological Connectivity and Local Environment Alternately Drive Spatial Structure of Floodplain Aquatic Community Across Seasons. [PDF]
Ecol EvolOur study shows that the landscape‐scale environmental gradient represented as ecotone and as local environmental factors can alternately determine the spatial structures of the floodplain biota across seasons. The study highlights the understudied yet important linkages of spatial and temporal biotic assemblages and advance understanding of ecology ...

Anticipating where are unknown aquatic insects in Europe to improve biodiversity conservation
Diversity and Distributions, Volume 29, Issue 8, Page 1021-1034, August 2023., 2023 Abstract Aim Understanding biodiversity patterns is crucial for prioritizing future conservation efforts and reducing the current rates of biodiversity loss. However, a large proportion of species remain undescribed (i.e. unknown biodiversity), hindering our ability to conduct this task.

Systematic Entomology, Volume 48, Issue 1, Page 69-96, January 2023., 2023 A reevaluation of †Tshecardocoleidae revealed that crucial character transformations took place in the Permian. Phylogenetic analyses show that Coleoptera excluding †Tshecardocoleidae are strongly supported as a clade (Mesocoleoptera). Taxon exclusion experiments demonstrate that †Tshecardocoleidae are crucial for understanding the early evolution of ...
