Patch and Landscape Predictors of Mammal Diversity and Their Trait‐Relationships in the Largest Atlantic Forest Island in Brazil

open access: yesBiotropica, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.
Urbanization and habitat fragmentation reshape mammal communities on Santa Catarina Island, one of the largest Atlantic Forest islands in Brazil. Using camera traps across protected forest patches, we show that species richness declines with urban and unvegetated matrices, while abundance increases in smaller and more isolated fragments dominated by ...

Frog‐biting midges and mosquitoes: Comparative insights from the Oriental and Sino‐Japanese regions

open access: yesEntomological Science, Volume 29, Issue 1, March 2026.
This review synthetizes current knowledge of frog‐biting mosquitoes and midges in the Oriental region and Japan, revealing strong geographic biases in research despite shared amphibian lineages. We highlight key knowledge gaps to guide future studies. Abstract Frog‐biting mosquitoes (Culicidae) and midges (Corethrellidae) are old hematophagous lineages

Effect of land use change on Melolonthidae (Coleoptera: Scarabaeoidea) beetle communities in the deforestation arc of the Brazilian Amazon

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 2, Page 404-419, March 2026.
Habitat transformation in Amazon due to agriculture expansion impairs Melolonthidae diversity. Assemblage response towards habitat transformation are group‐dependent. Although highly disturbed, Amazon arc of deforestation region dwells sensitive insect assemblages. Abstract Although the Amazon provides crucial goods and ecosystem services for humanity,
