Fanniidae (Insecta: Diptera) is a relatively small family (ca. 350 spp.) with fve genera, of which Fannia Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 and Euryomma Stein, 1899 have Neotropical distributions. Some of these species are almost ...

Thiamethoxam (TMX) is a systemic pesticide that safeguards both perennial and annual crops from pests but presents environmental risks. Effective pesticide regulation requires a thorough understanding of farmers’ behav...

Abstract Chrysomya albiceps (Calliphoridae) is among the earliest successional fauna on human and animal cadavers. Some immature Calliphoridae can be useful for determination of post-mortem interval. Toxins, particularly...

ABSTRACT Insects attracted to cadavers can be used to estimate postmortem interval (PMI). In this study, inmature stages and adults of Dermestes maculatus and Chrysomya albiceps were collected in association with a human...

Open-pit coal mine rehabilitation is essential to mitigate ecosystem degradation and biodiversity loss. Given that ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) are excellent bioindicators, we evaluated the response of their communitie...

Grassland butterflies are declining widely in temperate regions, and are thus a key target for conservation. Recent studies have shown that forest clearcuts can be temporary habitats for these species. Shelterbelts - row...

Carabids are important natural biocontrol agents for pest regulation in agricultural landscapes. Their role in the ecosystem is related to functional traits, which are themselves filtered by both the degree of habitat di...

Ants are essential components of ecosystems, playing critical roles in nutrient cycling, pest control, and soil health. Agricultural practices significantly influence ant biodiversity, yet studies on this subject remain ...

Climate change is seriously threatening biodiversity and, especially, insects because their biological cycles are highly dependent on environmental conditions. We studied (1) how climate characterised by droughts and hea...

Whilst common across the animal kingdom, the evolution of cannibalism remains poorly understood. Part of the problem is that the number of taxonomic groups in which the evolution of cannibalism has been studied in detail...

Historical samples from museum and private collections can serve as a time machine, allowing us to follow changes in genetic composition through time as well as obtaining genomic data on past biodiversity. Thus, genetic ...

This study investigates the temperature-dependent development and life table parameters of the predatory bug Orius albidipennis (Reuter, 1884) (Hemiptera: Anthocoridae) under three constant temperatures (20, 25, and 30°...

El crecimiento experimentado por la entomología forense en Argentina en la última década requiere de la profundización del conocimiento básico de la entomofauna carroñera argentina que retroalimente la información...
