Peculiarities of the development and seasonal dynamics of the activity of epigean beetles of the Polyphaga suborder (Coleoptera) in fields of winter wheat in the conditions of Southern Ukraine

open access: yesBiosystems Diversity, 2020
In total, 168 beetle species from 25 families of the suborder Polyphaga have been recorded on winter wheat crops. 116 species (about 20 families) are registered as stratobionts: 14 were dominants, 32 – subdominants and about 70 species were very rare ...

The carrion beetle Oxelytrum discicolle (Coleoptera: Silphidae) and the estimative of the minimum post-mortem interval in a forensic case in Brasília, Brazil

open access: yesRevista Brasileira de Entomologia, 2020
The order Coleoptera is considered second highest in forensic importance in criminal cases involving violent death, because members of this order increase in richness and abundance as the decomposition process progresses.

Cicada as a food for mammals: a global review and implications for mammal behaviour and populations

open access: yesWildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, January 2026.
Cicadas (Hemiptera: Cicadidae) are among the most important insect prey for many vertebrate predators, including birds and mammals, owing to their large size and high nutritional value. Although the ecological roles of cicadas as prey for birds have been well documented, the interactions between mammals and cicadas are relatively unknown.

Effects of Collection Cup Preservative on Flight Intercept Trap Performance for Forest Insects

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 173, Issue 12, Page 1330-1340, December 2025.
Flight intercept traps are important tools for the monitoring and surveillance of forest Coleoptera. We investigated the comparative efficacy of three wet (saturated saltwater, propylene glycol, and soapy water) and one dry (dichlorvos strip) collection cup treatments on the capture of forest insects.

When Raptors Are Away, Opossums Will Play: Woolly Opossums as Carrion Feeders in Harpy Eagle Nests

open access: yesBiotropica, Volume 57, Issue 6, November 2025.
Scavenging by New World marsupials is rarely documented. We recorded woolly opossums (Caluromys lanatus) scavenging prey remains from a Harpy eagle’s nest in central Brazil. The low overlap in activity periods between the two species may facilitate the behavior observed here.

Does behaviour matter? The role and feasibility of research into arthropod behavioural syndromes to inform invertebrate translocation efforts

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 18, Issue 5, Page 869-879, September 2025.
Animal personality plays a key role in translocation success in both wild‐to‐wild and captive‐to‐wild translocations, with important implications for the success of conservation projects. However, the majority of studies so far have explored the link between personality and translocation success in vertebrate translocations, and there has been less ...
