Temognatha sundholmi Lang sp. nov. (Coleoptera: Buprestidae), a New Species From the Great Victoria Desert and New Host Plants: An Investigation Using DNA Barcoding With Implications for Taxonomy of Temognatha and Melobasis

open access: yesAustral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 3, August 2026.
ABSTRACT A new species of jewel beetle, Temognatha sundholmi Lang, sp. nov., is described from the Great Victoria Desert in South Australia. A broader investigation, using mtDNA COI ‘barcode’ sequences from 178 specimens representing 54 buprestid species, places the new species with Temognatha flavocincta (Gory & Laporte, 1838) in the informal ...

Systematics of the Genus Hyalinaria Bethune‐Baker, 1910 (Lepidoptera: Psychidae) With Five New Species

open access: yesAustral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 3, August 2026.
ABSTRACT The Oiketicinae genus Hyalinaria Bethune‐Baker, 1910, is revised. The use of both morphological information and genetic sequence data indicates that Hyalinaria and Pseudoclania Bethune‐Baker, 1915 sp. nov., are synonymous, with the latter genus here treated as a junior subjective synonym of the former.

Revision of the Elusive Harvestmen Genus Discocyrtulus Roewer, 1927 (Opiliones: Laniatores: Gonyleptidae): Investigating the Presumed Northeastern Brazilian Discocyrtus‐Like Relatives

open access: yesAustral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 3, August 2026.
ABSTRACT A maximum parsimony analysis based on morphological characters (23 taxa; 98 characters; 1951 scorings) was conducted to test the monophyly of Discocyrtulus Roewer, 1927, and to assess its phylogenetic relationships within Gonyleptidae. The results recover the species currently assigned to Discocyrtulus as phylogenetically distant from ...

Phenotypic Flexibility in the City: A Meta‐Analysis on Variation

open access: yesEcology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 8, August 2026.
A key feature of animals coping with high environmental variability ought to be phenotypic flexibility. We used a meta‐analysis to estimate overall differences among‐ and within‐individual variation between urban and non‐urban population pairs of wild animals. We considered within‐individual variation as a proxy of phenotypic flexibility.

She Doesn't Whisper: Female‐Prominent Stridulation Shaped by Morphology in a Buthid Scorpion and Insights on Its Function

open access: yesEthology, Volume 132, Issue 8, Page 533-543, August 2026.
Sexual dimorphism and stress‐induced stridulatory responses in Jaguajir rochae (Borelli, 1910). Females exhibited greater absolute pectinal size and higher sound pressure levels, whereas males showed higher pectinal allometric ratios relative to body size, lower sound frequencies, and shorter delta times.

Habitat and Thermal Breadth Shape Climate‐Driven Range Shifts in Arctic Birds

open access: yesJournal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Rapid climate change is reshaping Arctic ecosystems and altering species' breeding distributions. We assessed climate‐driven breeding range shifts of Arctic birds and examined how functional traits, including morphology, habitat breadth, and thermal niche breadth, influence these shifts. Location European and North American Arctic.

Etymology and entomology: The semiotics and ethics of multispecies gene nomenclatures

open access: yesJournal of Linguistic Anthropology, Volume 36, Issue 2, August 2026.
Abstract This article examines controversies surrounding gene names that are perceived as humorous in the context of fruit flies but are considered rude in the clinical context of human medicine. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork in insect laboratories, interviews with entomologists and geneticists, and an analysis of scientific and clinical ...

Locked plate versus modified clamp‐rod internal fixation for feline corpus ilium fractures: A comparative clinical study

open access: yesVeterinary Surgery, Volume 55, Issue 6, Page 1133-1142, August 2026.
Abstract Objective To evaluate the applicability and clinical effectiveness of a modified clamp‐rod internal fixation (M‐CRIF) system compared with conventional locking plate osteosynthesis in the treatment of feline corpus ilium fractures. Study design Prospective, controlled clinical study.

The role of muscle forces on rotational and cranio‐caudal stability in the intact and CCL‐deficient stifle: An ex vivo biomechanical study

open access: yesVeterinary Surgery, Volume 55, Issue 6, Page 1067-1077, August 2026.
Abstract Objective To investigate the effects of muscle activation on internal tibial rotation and cranio‐caudal translation (CCT) in intact and cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) deficient stifles. Study design Ex vivo biomechanical study. Animals Eight cadaveric, nonpaired canine stifles.
