Investigating functional facets of biodiversity across elevation gradients provides the
perspective to deepen understanding of the response of communities to global changes …

The Bergmann's rule relating eco-geographic pattern in body size of species with
latitude/elevation, remain unexplored among different animal taxa including insects from the …

Simple Summary A new species, Bryaxis aetnensis sp. nov., has been found on Mount Etna
in Sicily, Italy. The species is closely related to the Bryaxis difficilis group, a set of similar …

Abstract Zygogramma bicolorata Pallister (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) is an effective
biocontrol agent of Parthenium hysterophorus L. which is an alien invasive herbaceous …

Simple Summary The size of an organism is closely correlated with its physiological and
ecological characteristics and strongly influences its fitness. Bergmann's rule, originally …

To analyse geographic variation patterns and assess the applicability of biogeographical
rules in insects, the West Palaearctic anthidiine bee Eoanthidium insulare serves as an …

The research aimed to investigate how variations in altitude affect the physiochemical
properties of water. Water samples were collected from waterspouts at altitudes ranging from …

Simple Summary Young oceanic islands often harbour poor biodiversity because they need
time to be colonised. However, some animal species can be abundant, presenting high …

The Bergmann's rule predicts that in endotherms, body sizes will differ with respect to
thermal gradients. Larger bodied individuals will inhabit colder environments while in …

The leaf-feeding beetle, Zygogramma bicolorataPallister, one of the biocontrol agents
against Parthenium hysterophorus L., having been established at several locations of Nepal …
