Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.Biodiversity is declining globally, underscoring the need for conservation strategies informed by regional expertise. In the northeastern United States, 14 state wildlife agencies and taxonomic experts developed the Regional Species of Greatest Conservation Need (RSGCN) list, revealing that global and national datasets captured only ~55% of regionally ...

Diversity and distribution of the Caddisflies (Insecta: Trichoptera) of Ecuador
PeerJ, 2017 Background Aquatic insects and other freshwater animals are some of the most threatened forms of life on Earth. Caddisflies (Trichoptera) are highly biodiverse in the Neotropics and occupy a wide variety of freshwater habitats.

Nest boxes as microhabitats supporting diverse arthropod communities
Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.Diverse Micro‐Habitats: Nest boxes supported 3634 arthropods from 82 families, highlighting their significant conservation value as artificial micro‐habitats for diverse invertebrate communities beyond their primary use for birds. Occupancy Boosts Diversity: Occupied nests exhibited significantly higher arthropod richness, abundance and Shannon ...

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.Using over 416,000 occurrence records from 13 arthropod groups (6233 arthropod species), we mapped large‐scale richness patterns and identified biodiversity hotspots across the Iberian Peninsula and Balearic Islands. Hotspot congruence among arthropod groups was low, underscoring the importance of integrative, multi‐taxon approaches for conservation ...

Species occurrence and distribution of Trichoptera (caddisflies) in California
Zoosymposia, 2019 A formal list of the caddisflies of California has not been published since 1956, at which time just over 170 species were included. Since then, the estimate of Trichoptera richness in the state has doubled.

Distinctive gene expression in the reduced first thoracic legs of a nymphalid butterfly
Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.Transcriptome analysis reveals that the small non‐walking front legs of a butterfly have distinct gene expression to the four walking legs. Reduced front legs express a gene with putative mechanosensory roles, a blue‐sensitive opsin and two homeobox genes.
