Sex-specific gut bacteria manipulation impacts offspring production in the honeybee parasite small hive beetle, Aethina tumida Murray

This study shows that altering gut bacteria in male and female small hive beetles affects their mating behavior and offspring production.

Durga: An R package for effect size estimation and visualisation

Durga is an R package that estimates and visualizes effect sizes, offering tools for both unstandardized and standardized effect sizes with confidence intervals.

Sexual and developmental variations of ecto-parasitism in damselflies

This study examines how parasitism varies between sexes and developmental stages in two damselfly species, finding higher prevalence in immature females and greater parasite load in females overall.

Body size and food plants drive local extinction risk in butterflies

The paper assesses factors driving local extinction risk in Bangladeshi butterflies, finding larger body size and fewer host/nectar plants correlate with higher extinction risk.

Male-male interactions select for conspicuous male colouration in damselflies

This study shows that male-male interactions, not female mate choice, drive conspicuous male coloration in damselflies.

Bagworm decorations are an anti-predatory structure

The study tests if bagworm moth caterpillars' decorative bags reduce predation by Asian weaver ants, finding that unbagged caterpillars are more frequently attacked.

OdoBD: An online database for the dragonflies and damselflies of Bangladesh

The paper develops an online database for Odonata in Bangladesh, compiling field data, published research, and citizen science to provide a resource for ecological and genetic studies.

Odonata diversity of the eastern region of Bangladesh with four new addition to the Bangladeshi dragonfly fauna

The paper documents Odonata diversity in eastern Bangladesh, identifying four new species and the first record of the Megalogomphus genus.

Species richness, habitat association and odonata diversity of the south-western region of Bangladesh.

The study surveys Odonata diversity in Bangladesh's south-western region, finding high species richness in marshlands and a positive correlation with environmental variables.
