Environmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 2, March/April 2025.Leveraging a natural experiment provided by arthopod communities in Hawaiian wet forest fragments isolated by lava flows, this study examines the impact of natural habitat fragmentation on species‐equivalent (3% radius OTUs) and haplotype‐equivalent (zOTUs) scales.

Austral Ecology, Volume 50, Issue 3, March 2025.ABSTRACT The carcasses of invertebrates and small to medium‐sized vertebrates are the main food source of necrophagous beetles; however, little is known about the consumption of herpetozoan carcasses by these beetles. In this note, we present the first reports of the consumption of a carcass of a lizard, Aspidoscelis lineattissimus (Teiidae) and a ...

Effects of Atmospheric Pollutants on Volatile‐Mediated Insect Ecosystem Services
Global Change Biology, Volume 31, Issue 1, January 2025.This review addresses the current state of knowledge on the effects of air pollutants on volatile organic compound‐mediated insect–plant interactions, which underlie key ecosystem services. Significant knowledge gaps are also identified. While gaseous pollutants reduce the lifetime of individual compounds that act as olfactory cues, gaseous and ...

Systematic Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 1, Page 168-179, January 2025.We provide a robust estimate of the phylogeny of the tribe Silphini using five molecular markers and comprehensive taxon sampling across all 12 genera. Our study provides the first biogeographical insight into the origin of the tribe Silphini suggesting a most likely origin across Neotropical, Oriental and/or Australian regions.

Beetle assemblage distribution along edge–forest gradient in a managed oak forest
Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 26, Issue 4, Page 496-507, November 2024.Forest ecotone hosted the highest diversity of trophic groups of beetles. Xylophagous, saproxylophagous and pollenophagous beetles exhibited positive association with the shelterwood strip system. According to the fourth‐corner analysis, phytophagous beetles were positively associated with the closed forest, whereas phloephagous beetles were positively
