The stridulatory organ in Opetiidae and Phoridae (Diptera) and phylogenetic implications for the evolution of higher flies
BV Brown, D de Souza Amorim - Scientific Reports, 2023 - nature.com
Stridulatory sound-making organs evolved in a group of flies—the family Phoridae—by
modifications of the microstructure of foreleg segments present in the shared ancestor of the …

Phylogenetic diversity only weakly mitigates climate‐change‐driven biodiversity loss in insect communities
To help address the underrepresentation of arthropods and Asian biodiversity from climate‐
change assessments, we carried out year‐long, weekly sampling campaigns with Malaise …

Surprising morphological diversity in ceraphronid wasps revealed by a distinctive new species of Aphanogmus (Hymenoptera: Ceraphronoidea)
Within the well-studied Palearctic entomofauna, it is often assumed that the discovery of new
species is limited to resolving cryptic species complexes within dark taxa. Herein, we …
