An integrated semantic publishing workflow for taxonomy: a review of the Afrotropical dung beetle genus Amietina (Coleoptera: Scarabaeinae)

The paper introduces a semantic publishing workflow for taxonomic studies, applying it to describe four new species of dung beetles and update taxonomic data.

Phylogenomics resolves a 200-year-old puzzle: a revised tribal classification of Afro-Eurasian dung beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeinae)

This paper resolves a long-standing taxonomic issue in dung beetles by using phylogenomic data to propose a revised tribal classification for Afro-Eurasian species.

A review of Sisyphini Dung Beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeinae) endemic to Mauritius: insights from subfossil evidence and phylogenetic analysis

This study reviews Nesosisyphus dung beetles in Mauritius, identifies a new extinct species, and uses phylogenetic analysis and niche modeling to assess their extinction and historical distribution.

Winners and Losers Among European Arthropods over the Last Half Century of Global Change

The paper analyzes 50 years of European arthropod occurrence data to show heterogeneous responses to global change, with climate variables and agricultural intensification driving shifts in distribution.

Phenome-wide adaptive radiation drives lineage diversification in hyperdiverse Hymenoptera

This study examines the evolution of the hymenopteran skeletomuscular phenome across developmental stages and anatomical hierarchies, showing that phenome-wide reorganization drives lineage diversification.
