Phylogenetic Relationships of Plant Bugs Based on Mitochondrial Genomes (Heteroptera: Miridae). [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis study for the first time employs mitochondrial genomes to resolve Miridae phylogeny, with 42 species spanning 39 genera across six of the seven currently recognized subfamilies. Bryocorinae is paraphyletic as the stem groups of Miridae. These findings provide a progressive phylogenetic framework with new significance for the future phylogenetic ...

Positive Selection Drives Mitochondrial Gene Rearrangement in Sternorrhyncha (Insecta: Hemiptera). [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe have constructed the largest mitochondrial dataset for Sternorrhyncha to establish phylogenetic relationships. The mitochondrial genes of Coccoidea and Aleyrodoidea exhibit a notable prevalence of translocation and a high proportion of positive selection pressures.

Endemism and Conservation of Hemiptera on the Qinghai‐Tibetan Plateau [PDF]
Ecol EvolEndemism patterns of Hemiptera on the Qinghai‐Tibetan Plateau (QTP) are mainly driven by historical climate change. Existing protected areas do not sufficiently cover endemism hotspots. ABSTRACT The Qinghai‐Tibetan Plateau is essential for the maintenance of global biodiversity.

Are Findings of Key Insect Metrics Generalizable Across Different Taxa in Malaise Trap Samples? [PDF]
Ecol EvolMalaise traps are increasingly used for global insect monitoring. However, it remains unclear whether patterns in total insect biomass from these traps reflect only changes in dominant taxa, or whether they reflect changes in other key community metrics and taxonomic groups.

Mitigating light pollution impacts on arthropods based on light-emitting diode properties. [PDF]
Conserv BiolAbstract Light pollution from artificial light at night (ALAN) is a significant environmental problem with far‐reaching consequences for ecological systems. Recent innovations in light‐emitting diode (LED) technology may offer sustainable outdoor lighting solutions, but scientific evidence is lacking. We investigated the effects of various LED lighting

Strong diel variation in the activity of insect taxa sampled by Malaise traps
Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 3, Page 533-546, June 2026.Malaise traps sampled different communities during mornings (06:00–12:00), afternoons (12:00–16:00), evenings (18:00–22:00), and nights (22:00–06:00), highlighting the difference in diel rhythm between taxa. The highest diversity and abundance of insects were found during afternoons, the lowest diversity during night, and the lowest abundance during ...

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract Alien plants have generally been shown to support reduced arthropod abundance, biomass, and diversity compared to native plant species, but inferences have typically come from studies limited in taxonomic and geographic scope. Here, we make use of data from a unique citizen science project, Caterpillars Count!, that consists of nearly 70,000 ...

Ecological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 2, March 2026.Abstract European forests are increasingly managed to harmonize production goals with biodiversity conservation, through practices such as retention and close‐to‐nature forestry. Forest birds may benefit from these practices, but it remains unclear how the effects of different management practices compare, and whether responses to management are driven

Carboniferous fossils enlighten the systematics and evolution of Hemiptera
Papers in Palaeontology, Volume 12, Issue 2, March/April 2026.Abstract Fossils are witnesses to the evolutionary processes undergone by living lineages. The earliest occurrence of clades provides rich insights into the timing of diversification of lineages and better delimits the groups that compose them. Hemiptera are a remarkable order within the insects due to their high morphological and ecological diversity.

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 28, Issue 1, Page 118-127, February 2026.Farmland ecotones support high parasitoid diversity, despite lower arthropod richness compared to semi‐natural habitats. Farmland ecotones support high pentatomoid bug abundance, while pentatomoid parasitoids were equally abundant and diverse in both ecotones.
