The stoneflies (Insecta, Plecoptera) of the Talladega Mountain region, Alabama, USA: distribution, elevation, endemism, and rarity patterns

open access: yesBiodiversity Data Journal, 2018
Background The Talladega Mountain region of eastern Alabama is the southernmost outlier of the ancient Appalachian Mountains, including the highest peaks and ranges in the state. Collections of stoneflies (Plecoptera) previously here have been sporadic

Tetraopes Milkweed Beetle Genomes Elucidate the Adaptive Basis of a Temperate Coevolutionary Radiation

open access: yesMolecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 3, April 2026.
ABSTRACT The coevolutionary radiation of 27 species of Tetraopes longhorned beetles and their Asclepias milkweed hosts represents a classic example of adaptive evolution driven by plant chemical defences and herbivore counteradaptations. Investigations to date, however, have focused on a single species, Tetraopes tetrophthalmus, which feeds on the ...

STONEFLIES (ACRONEURIA ABNORMIS) REDUCE PREY ABUNDANCE VIA NON-CONSUMPTIVE EFFECTS

open access: yes, 2023
Predators affect prey communities through two pathways: by eating prey (i.e., consumptive effects) and by modifying prey traits (i.e., non-consumptive effects), such as behavior.

Scientists' Warning on the Rapid Evolution of Parasites in the Anthropocene

open access: yesEvolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Human activities are changing the natural world at an accelerating pace, and as a consequence exerting novel and often strong selection pressures on living organisms. For species with traits conferring huge inherent evolutionary potential, like parasites, the outcome may be rapid adaptive responses spanning multiple phenotypic traits. The rise

Spatial and temporal distribution of adult aquatic insects.

open access: yes, 2002
PhDMost quantitative ecological research on aquatic insects has addressed their immature stages. To understand their population dynamics, however, information on the adult stage is essential.

Ohio USA stoneflies (Insecta, Plecoptera): species richness estimation, distribution of functional niche traits, drainage affiliations, and relationships to other states

open access: yesZooKeys, 2012
Ohio is an eastern USA state that historically was >70% covered in upland and mixed coniferous forest; about 60% of it glaciated by the Wisconsinan glacial episode. Its stonefly fauna has been studied in piecemeal fashion until now.

Molecular detection of pathogens in an equine fever diagnostic panel: 2019–2023

open access: yesEquine Veterinary Journal, Volume 58, Issue 2, Page 486-496, March 2026.
Abstract Background A common diagnostic approach for febrile horses is to test for a panel of potential pathogens. Panels are curated by expert opinion and vary between diagnostic laboratories. Objectives To report the results of a newly developed equine fever diagnostic panel (EFDP) between 2019 and 2023 and evaluate the frequency of positive results.

Ephemeropteran and Trichopteran Assemblages Vary Across a Subtropical Rainforest Altitudinal Gradient: Useful Indicators for Climate Change

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
This figure provides the elevation distribution of Trichoptera and Ephemeroptera across the elevational gradient and clearly shows how specific morphospecies can be used as indicators. ABSTRACT The subtropical rainforests of eastern Australia are expected to be greatly affected by climate change, with several studies predicting an upward shift in ...

Habitat Selection by Stream-Dwelling Predatory Stoneflies

open access: yes, 1991
Patterns of substrate size preference of predatory stoneflies were measured in a western Colorado, USA, stream and associations were examined between substrates and other physical and biological variables.
