Systematics of the New World Rostrate Genus Metaxyphloeus Thomas, 1984 (Coleoptera: Laemophloeidae): Morphological Evidence for Monophyly Supporting a Broader Generic Concept

open access: yesAustral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 2, May 2026.
ABSTRACT A morphology‐based MP analysis is undertaken to test the monophyly of the lined flat bark beetle genus Metaxyphloeus Thomas, 1984, as well as to hypothesize its intra‐ and intergeneric evolutionary relationships. Based on the results of the present work, Metaxyphloeus, as currently composed, is hypothesized as a monophyletic assemblage of ...

The Genus Hyalyris Boisduval, 1870 (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae) in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest: Systematics, Taxonomy and Conservation

open access: yesAustral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 2, May 2026.
ABSTRACT The neotropical butterfly tribe Ithomiini (Danainae) comprises about 400 species distributed from Mexico to Northern Argentina, 58 of which occur in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. Among these are two species assigned to the genus Hyalyris Boisduval, 1870: Hyalyris fiammetta (Hewitson, 1852) and Hyalyris leptalina (C. Felder & R. Felder, 1865).

Into the Darkness: Unveiling Unexpected Records of the Nonnative Millipede Prosopodesmus jacobsoni Silvestri, 1910 (Polydesmida: Haplodesmidae) in Brazilian Caves

open access: yesAustral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 2, May 2026.
ABSTRACT This study expands the known distribution of the nonnative millipede Prosopodesmus jacobsoni in Brazil and reports its presence in cave environments for the first time in the country. Based on recently collected material and historical records, the species is shown to maintain stable populations in subterranean systems in the states of ...

Effects of soil physical properties on dung beetle assemblages in pasture landscapes of the Brazilian Cerrado

open access: yesAgricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 28, Issue 2, Page 169-181, May 2026.
We assessed the effect of the type of soil texture (loamy sand and sandy loam) and its physical properties on dung beetle species assemblages in a pastureland region of the Brazilian Cerrado. We found a reduction in the total and paracoprid beetle abundances in loamy sand soil. Furthermore, the increase of soil compaction negatively affected the entire

Combined Effects of Land‐Use‐ and Climate‐Driven Stressors on Stream Fungi and Organic Matter Decomposition

open access: yesFreshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Freshwater microbial communities sustain ecosystem functions and services, with aquatic fungi playing a key role in organic matter decomposition and nutrient transfer. However, the combined effects of multiple stressors on stream fungal biodiversity and functioning remain poorly understood.

Understanding Muroidea (Rodentia) Species Richness: The Complementary Roles of Adaptive and Non‐Adaptive Diversification

open access: yesJournal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim To evaluate environmental drivers of species richness in the Muroidea superfamily and to determine the relative contributions of adaptive and non‐adaptive diversification using organismal or emergent properties, trait variation. Location Global. Time Period 32 million years ago to the present.

Holding a wing horizontal: Roles for muscles of the pectoral girdle other than the main two flight muscles

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, Volume 248, Issue 5, Page 830-842, May 2026.
This report explores which muscles of the pectoral girdle are employed to allow birds to hold their wings horizontally with a level aerofoil surface during a glide. Abstract Whilst many birds glide briefly with wings held horizontally, some species maintain this posture for extended periods during soaring.
