Predictions of Future Insect Distributions Under Climate Change
ABSTRACT Aim Climate change has severe consequences for insects worldwide, many of which play key ecological roles. Despite a large literature predicting insect distribution changes over future climate change, a synthesis of predictions of insect responses to climate change in the literature is still lacking. Location Global.

We determined morphological and molecularly two species of bat flies: T. parasiticus (Streblidae), and B. silvae (Nycteribiidae). We generated the first sequences for both species in the country for the cytochrome oxidase subunit I. We do recover monophyletic groups for both species, and we discussed the tree topology.

Evolutionary implications of a deep‐time perspective on insect pollination
ABSTRACT Plant pollination by insects represents one of the most transformative and iconic ecological relationships in the natural world. Despite tens of thousands of papers, as well as numerous books, on pollination biology published over the past 200 years, most studies focused on the fossil record of pollinating insects have only been published in ...

Seabird health is linked to their marine and terrestrial environments, but health–environment relationships are rarely described. Parasites are common among seabird colonies, however reductions to seabird health may occur if the delicate parasite–host relationship is imbalanced.
