Insects and Survival: A Review of Primary and Secondary Defense Strategies

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 7, Page 601-624, July 2026.
Based on a review of three decades of literature, insect defense mechanisms are classified into primary (I) and secondary (II) mechanisms of behavioral, morphological, and chemical nature. These mechanisms have been recorded in 22 (I) and 20 (II) orders, respectively.

Experimental droughts in mesocosms reveal a gradient of tolerance in Alpine stream macroinvertebrates

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 70, Issue S2, Page S352-S363, December 2025.
Abstract Prolonged droughts, driven by climate change and human pressures on water resources, are increasing in frequency and intensity, particularly impacting Alpine rivers. Benthic macroinvertebrates are one of the most important structural and functional components of Alpine lotic ecosystems.

Agricultural pond restoration enhances species richness in non‐biting midges (Diptera: Chironomidae)

Restoration Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 7, September 2025.
Agricultural ponds are biodiversity hotspots, especially when restored to open‐canopy conditions. Studies comparing pre‐ and post‐restoration pond diversity are rare, however, and have widely focused on “easy‐to‐identify” taxa. Chironomids have so far been neglected in pond restoration studies, but are a highly speciose group critical to aquatic ...

Length–Dry Mass Relationships of Aquatic Insects: Geographic and Taxonomic Variation in a Digital Database

Freshwater Biology, Volume 70, Issue 7, July 2025.
ABSTRACT Aquatic insects are an abundant, yet declining, taxonomically heterogeneous group with special importance in both aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. Accurate estimations of insect biomass during their aquatic life stages are essential to advance our fundamental knowledge about insects, their roles in ecosystems, and their vulnerability to ...

Species Richness and Abundance of Benthic Invertebrates Are Multiplied by Beaver (Castor sp.) Activities in Small Floodplains

Freshwater Biology, Volume 70, Issue 5, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Beaver activities modify floodplains of small streams fundamentally. Prevailing lotic sections are supplemented with several additional habitats (e.g., ponds, dams and side channels). While there are several investigations into the invertebrate fauna of single beaver‐induced habitats, the ways beavers modify aquatic invertebrate assemblages of
