Present knowledge of the Entomofauna of the Maltese Islands [PDF]

, 2000
The Maltese Islands' strategic position in the centre of the Mediterranean basin and in between the Siculo Tunisian sill, always encouraged a number of foreign naturalists to visit and study their local entomofauna.

Wolbachia in Antarctic terrestrial invertebrates: Absent or undiscovered?

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 16, Issue 6, December 2024.
Endosymbiotic bacteria Wolbachia are recognized for their role in influencing host survival and stress resistance, particularly in cold environmental conditions across various species. However, our analysis of available data reveals a notable absence of Wolbachia in species abundant in the extreme cold conditions of Antarctica.

Another tool in the toolbox: Aphid‐specific Wolbachia protect against fungal pathogens

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 26, Issue 11, November 2024.
Wolbachia infected more than 80% of Pentalonia aphids sampled across the Hawaiian Islands and other locations. The aphid‐specific M‐supergroup strains of this symbiont protected against a specialist fungal pathogen, Pandora, but not the generalist pathogen Beauveria or the parasitoid Aphidius colemanii.

Ectoparasites of the endemic rodent Abrocoma bennetti (Hystricomorpha: Abrocomidae) from semiarid Chile

Gayana, 2018
A total of 13 individuals of the Abrocoma bennetti rodent were captured and 354 ectoparasites belonging to 10 different species were collected and analyzed. The most abundant species was a Phithraptera, Monogyropus longus (62%), followed by Siphonaptera

Factors associated with diversity, quantity and zoonotic potential of ectoparasites on urban mice and voles [PDF]

, 2018
Wild rodents are important hosts for tick larvae but co-infestations with other mites and insects are largely neglected. Small rodents were trapped at four study sites in Berlin, Germany, to quantify their ectoparasite diversity.

Performance of DNA metabarcoding, standard barcoding and morphological approaches in the identification of insect biodiversity

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 24, Issue 8, November 2024.
Abstract For two decades, DNA barcoding and, more recently, DNA metabarcoding have been used for molecular species identification and estimating biodiversity. Despite their growing use, few studies have systematically evaluated these methods.

Combinative effects of thinning and prescribed burning on fuel reduction and soil arthropods: A case study in a Mediterranean pine forest

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2024.
Soil arthropods of Pinus laricio forests are little affected by thinning and prescribed burning conducted in autumn. Low‐intensity burns preserve soil‐dwelling organisms, and unconsumed wood serves as a refuge area. The combination of thinning and burning appears to be beneficial in reducing the fire risk and protecting soil arthropods, notably ...

Male genitalia, hierarchical homology, and the anatomy of the bullet ant (Paraponera clavata; Hymenoptera, Formicidae)

Journal of Morphology, Volume 285, Issue 9, September 2024.
We present a multimodal anatomy of the male genitalia of the bullet ant, Paraponera clavata. Using this as a model system, we expand and refine on the 5‐category system of homology classification proposed by Meneganzin et al. (2024) and we present evidence supporting the penis‐coxopod theory of male genitalic homology in male insects. Abstract The male
