Diversity of Resilin Incidence in the Insect Leg

open access: yesJournal of Morphology, Volume 287, Issue 6, June 2026.
Resilin incidences in the insect cuticle are commonly detected by fluorescence microscopy using the property of Resilin protein matrices to emit blue light after excitation with UV light. This indirect method produces significant background signal.

DISJUNCTIVE DISTRIBUTION OF ODOCNEMIS PROTINUS (REITTER, 1900), THE FIRST REPRESENTATIVE OF THE GENUS (COLEOPTERA: TENEBRIONIDAE: HELOPINI) IN IRAN

open access: yesЮг России: экология, развитие, 2014
. The first representative of the genus Odocnemis Allard, 1876 – O. protinus (Reitter, 1900) is found in Northern Iran (Gilan Province). To present time the species was known from North Western Anatolia. Close species Odocnemis opertus (Reitter, 1922) is

Sensory Morphology of Geodorcus helmsi (Coleoptera: Lucanidae) and its Relevance to the Conservation of New Zealand Stag Beetles

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 2, June 2026.
Insects use sensilla to detect chemical and physical stimuli, mediating behaviours such as mate finding, foraging and mechanosensory responses. The distribution and density of sensilla can be examined using scanning electron microscopy. Investigating these structures can help elucidate rarely observed behaviours (e.g. mate finding and foraging).

Body Mass Increase Induced by Eight Years of Artificial Selection in the Yellow Mealworm (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) and Life History Trade-offs

open access: yesJournal of Insect Science, 2019
Efforts to improve rearing conditions of Tenebrio molitor L. (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) for insect biomass production included selecting for larger size pupae. The effects of an 8-yr continuous selection of T. molitor pupae for larger size were studied.

BASIC LAWS OF DISTRIBUTION AND GENESIS OF PSAMMOPHILOUS COLEOPTERA OF PONTO-CASPIAN REGION IN THE CASE OF TENEBRIONIDAE AND SCARABAEOIDEA (INSECTA: COLEOPTERA)

open access: yesЮг России: экология, развитие, 2014
The paper deal with migration ways of psammophilous Tenebrionidae and Scarabaeoidea of Ponto-Caspian region since the Pliocene. Reconstruction of genesis of the fauna is made after analyses of contemporary distribution.

Bio‐Insecticidal Efficacy of Phytochemicals in Acorus calamus Rhizome and Piper longum Plant Extracts as Green Alternatives to Synthetic Insecticides Against Tribolium castaneum

open access: yesPhytochemicals in Food and Medicine, Volume 1, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT To meet the increasing food demands of a growing global population, agricultural productivity must rise substantially. However, the excessive reliance on synthetic pesticides has resulted in the development of resistance among stored‐product insect pests, necessitating the search for sustainable and eco‐friendly alternatives. The present study

The impact of some inorganic substances on change in body mass of Tenebrio molitor (Coleoptera, Tenebrionidae) larvae in a laboratory experiment

open access: yesFolia Oecologica, 2018
Addition of low concentrations of metal ions to the diet of saprophagous insects can impact on their metabolism over a short period of time, causing an increase or decrease in their body mass.

Notes on taxonomy and distribution of the subgenus Heloponotus Reitter, 1922, genus Odocnemis Allard, 1876 (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae), with a key to species and subspecies [PDF]

open access: yesКавказский энтомологический бюллетень
A brief review of the subgenus Heloponotus Reitter, 1922 (genus Odocnemis Allard, 1876) (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae: Helopini) is presented. This group was probably formed on the Crimean Peninsula, since the high diversity and endemism are observed here ...

Moderately thinning encroaching shrub species is key to balancing rangeland restoration and arthropod biodiversity conservation in Namibia

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 6, June 2026.
Moderate manual thinning (50F) maintained arthropod diversity comparable to untreated controls while reducing shrub dominance, demonstrating that structural heterogeneity buffers biodiversity loss during rangeland restoration in Namibian bush‐encroached systems. These findings advocate mosaic debushing strategies that preserve vegetation complexity and
