Societal Impact StatementPalms provide vital plant resources and ecosystem services to people across the tropics. To improve conservation guidance, a “health check” of palms in two highly threatened biodiversity hotspots in Colombia and Ecuador was undertaken. Palms are very diverse in these regions…

Hoverflies (Diptera, Syrphidae) are known to be among the most important pollinators of flowering plants, along with Hymenoptera, Lepidoptera and Coleoptera (Ssymank et al. 2008, Chisausky et al. 2020). The documentation of past distribution concerning these insects relies on existing collections, w…

Abstract An remotely operated vehicle survey conducted in three Canyon heads of the Ligurian Sea (northwestern Mediterranean Sea) in 2022 documented the presence of the boa dragonfish, Stomias boa (Risso, 1810), belonging to the family Stomiidae. Overall, 112 specimens of this meso- and bathypelagic…

Anthropogenic changes pose a significant threat to global biodiversity, especially in reptiles. Mexico, renowned for its diverse reptile population, is experiencing habitat disturbance and fragmentation, endangering rattlesnakes in particular due to their specific habitat requirements and limited mo…

Background and Aims The geographical origin and evolutionary mechanisms underpinning the rich and distinctive New Caledonian flora remain poorly understood. This is attributable to the complex geological past of the island and to the scarcity of well-resolved species-level phylogen…

Biological invasions increase with the intensity of globalization, human activities, and climate change. Insects represent a high potential of invasive species due to their adaptability to new environment. We analysed here the potential of an Asian phytophagous bug, Corythauma ayyari (Heteroptera, T…

In 2021, numerous observations of Ptilophorus dufourii (Latreille, 1818) were made by the author, providing new information about the species’ biology. The oviposition of the female was observed and is described in this article for the first time. Several other biological observations were made and …

Ecography
Beta diversity patterns are essential for understanding how biological communities are structured. Geographical and environmental factors, as well as species dispersal ability, are important drivers of beta diversity, but their relative importance may vary across spatial scales. In this study, we ev…

The study focuses on identifying and understanding the ecological dynamics of Triatoma breyeri in Bolivia. Morphological identification and molecular analysis using gene fragments (COI, CytB and 16S) confirms T. breyeris presence and its relation to other species. The species has been consistently f…

The present study utilized an ensemble modelling approach to predict the distribution of Diospyros melanoxylon under present, past (last glacial maximum (LGM), ~ 22 000 years BP, middle Holocene (MH) ~ 6000 years BP) and future climate change scenarios (RCP 2.6 and 8.5 for 2050s and 2070s). The annu…
