Non‐saproxylic beetles in beech forests: Larval habitat, trophic guild structure in a case study from the Czech Republic

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Beech forests in Central Europe are frequently the focus of entomological studies targeting saproxylic beetle species that depend on deadwood. However, considerably less attention has been paid to non‐saproxylic beetle species. Our research aimed to address this gap by focusing on the diversity and abundance of functional guilds of non ...

Working 9 to 5: Diurnal Variability in Terrestrial Invertebrate Activity Does Not Compromise Ecosystem Health Assessments in Dry Stream Channels

River Research and Applications, Volume 42, Issue 3, Page 676-688, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Temporary streams are impacted by climate change and other anthropogenic pressures, but fluctuating water levels complicate ecological assessments. Terrestrial invertebrate communities may enable dry‐phase assessments, but their sampling can be resource intensive.

Predatory behaviour of some Central European pselaphine beetles (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Pselaphinae) with descriptions of relevant morphological features of their heads

European Journal of Entomology, 2008
The Pselaphinae is a large subfamily of staphylinid beetles with a characteristic habitus and small body size. Detailed morphological and behavioural studies on these beetles are scarce.

Geographic Variation in the Diet of Red Knot (Calidris canutus) Chicks Reflects Local Prey Communities

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim To describe and compare the diets of an Arctic‐breeding shorebird, the Red Knot (Calidris canutus), across three geographically distinct breeding sites. We aimed to document the dietary patterns and identify key prey groups that characterise each population's foraging ecology.

Balancing Barcoding and Genomics: gDNA Quality in Insect Vouchers After HotSHOT DNA Extraction

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT DNA extraction with an alkaline buffer system called ‘HotSHOT’ is widely used for barcoding because it is rapid, inexpensive, and voucher preserving, but it remains unclear whether sufficient genomic DNA (gDNA) remains in small vouchers for downstream use in genomics.
