Freshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 2, February 2026.ABSTRACT Invasive non‐native species threaten freshwater ecosystems, disrupting the functioning and structure of the food chain and potentially leading to biodiversity loss. As omnivores, crayfish can modify their environment, directly affecting organisms such as macroinvertebrates.

Systematic Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, January‐March 2026.Using genome‐skimming, we provide a robust and comprehensive phylogeny of the Gerridae. Our data support the monophyly of all subfamilies except paraphyletic Gerrinae. Non‐monophyly was found for Gerrini, Metrobatini and Trepobatini. Additionally, we reaffirm the non‐monophyly of the genera Aquarius and Tenagogonus, both part of the Gerrinae.

Phylogenomics Resolves the Evolution of Sternorrhyncha (Insecta: Hemiptera)
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.Phylogeny of Sternorrhyncha based on Matrix2 under PMSF (LG+C60+F+R) model. ABSTRACT Sternorrhyncha, one of the four major suborders of Hemiptera, represents a phytophagous insect clade comprising nearly 18,000 described species. While recent phylogenomic studies have made significant efforts to elucidate the internal phylogenetic relationships within ...

Papers in Palaeontology, Volume 11, Issue 6, November/December 2025.Abstract The Villaggio del Pescatore (VdP) fossil Lagerstätte represents the most significant Upper Cretaceous (lower–middle Campanian) palaeontological locality in Italy and the Mediterranean region. We present the first systematic revision of the VdP fossil assemblage with a focus on its previously undescribed arthropod fauna, providing new insights ...

The loss of the urea cycle and ornithine metabolism in different insect orders: An omics approach
Insect Molecular Biology, Volume 34, Issue 5, Page 632-644, October 2025.Among urea cycle enzymes, only the nitric oxide synthase gene is universally present across insect genomes. All Hemiptera species lack the enzymes needed to convert citrulline to arginine, and some also lack the pathway from arginine to ornithine. Putrescine and spermidine synthesis is conserved in all insects, but aphids lack the capability to produce

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 9, September 2025.In the RNA secondary structure, paired regions experience stronger natural selection pressure than unpaired regions and are characterized by a higher density of coevolutionary sites. The empirical RNA evolutionary model that fully incorporates all base pairings can generate more reliable phylogenetic relationships.

Differential effect of grassland mowing on arthropod taxa
Ecological Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 2, Page 288-298, April 2025.First, we discovered that mowing had a negative effect on overall arthropod abundance in all four of our studies. Second, our four studies found that seven taxa showed only negative, four only positive, and four mixed positive and negative responses. Third, regarding taxonomic resolution, no third‐level taxon (i.e.

The moulting arthropod: a complete genetic toolkit review
Biological Reviews, Volume 99, Issue 6, Page 2338-2375, December 2024.ABSTRACT Exoskeletons are a defining character of all arthropods that provide physical support for their segmented bodies and appendages as well as protection from the environment and predation. This ubiquitous yet evolutionarily variable feature has been instrumental in facilitating the adoption of a variety of lifestyles and the exploitation of ...

Why so many Hemiptera invasions?
Diversity and Distributions, Volume 30, Issue 12, December 2024.Abstract Aim The Hemiptera is the fifth‐largest insect order but among non‐native insect species is approximately tied with the Coleoptera as the most species‐rich insect order (Hemiptera comprise 20% more species than in world fauna). This over‐representation may result from high propagule pressure or from high species invasiveness.
