Abstract:
To date, numerous studies have demonstrated the fundamental role played by optic flow in the control of goal-directed displacement tasks in insects. Optic flow was first introduced by Gibson as part of their ecological approach to perception and action. While this theoretical approach (as a whole) has been demonstrated to be particularly suitable for the study of goal-directed displacements in humans, its usefulness in carrying out entomological field studies remains to be established. In this review we would like to demonstrate that the ecological approach to perception and action could be re

Insects, the most abundant organisms on Earth, play essential roles in various ecological functions and contribute significantly to ecosystem services (ES). These services, which benefit humans and ecosystems alike, can be categorized into four major types: provisioning, regulating, supporting, and cultural services. Insects provide critical provisioning services, such as serving as a source of food and medicine. They are rich in nutrients, including proteins, vitamins, and minerals, and play a key role in reducing malnutrition and supplementing diets. Insects also contribute to regulating ser

Abstract:
The ectoparasitic gamasid mites found on small mammals are important arthropods in the field of medical entomology. This paper studied the distribution and ecological niches of ectoparasitic gamasid mites on small mammal hosts in Yunnan Province of southwest China. Levins' niche breadth and Colwell-Futuyma's method were used to quantitatively evaluate host-specificity and similarity of host selection, and hierarchical analysis was used to illustrate niche overlap among gamasid mite species. Species diversity of both small mammals and gamasid mites was lower in indoor habitats than that in outd

Abstract:
Jeanette Samyn, “Cruel Consciousness: Louis Figuier, John Ruskin, and the Value of Insects” (pp. 89–114) This essay examines two opposing theories of consciousness and value in relation to nineteenth century entomology. In The Insect World (1868), the French popularizer of science Louis Figuier extends consciousness to aesthetically unappealing and seemingly cruel insects such as parasites by attributing to them sociality and industry. With little recourse to theological or conventional moral standards, Figuier ascribes value to parasites—on account of their consciousness, which aligns their e

Abstract:
This study examines the effects of temperature on the hatching rates of Lucilia sericata, a species important for forensic entomology and medical biology. Using a polynomial regression approach, we investigated the relationship between extreme thermal conditions and egg emergence rates to provide insights that could enhance applications in postmortem interval (PMI) estimation and ecological modeling. Eggs were subjected to controlled temperature treatments ranging from $0^\circ\mathrm{C}$ to $41^\circ\mathrm{C}$ at $1^\circ\mathrm{C}$ intervals, maintaining 45% relative humidity. Observations

Abstract:
Forensic entomology uses insects, particularly Diptera, as evidence in various forensic applications. Some species help estimate post-mortem intervals in criminal investigations, others indicate cases of neglect by signaling poor hygiene conditions, and some serve as bioindicators of environmental quality. Characterizing local fly species distributions is essential for forensic applications, such as post-mortem interval estimation. In Belo Horizonte, a city in Minas Gerais state, Brazil, only one prior study has been conducted, solely focusing on Calliphoridae species while overlooking other f

Neotropical mountains host much of the Earth's biodiversity. The Espinhaço Range of Brazil consists of a fragmented series of low-altitude mountains with extensive areas of grasslands. As is often the case with grasslands, grasshoppers are abundant and diverse in this ecosystem, although they are poorly known. The study was carried in three regions of the Espinhaço Range, located at southeastern Minas Gerais state: Serra do Ouro Branco, Serra do Ribeiro, and Serra do Cipó. The sampling of grasshoppers was performed using sweep and insect nets. Forty-six species (Serra do Cipó with 39 species,

This study explores the external morphology of larva of Cricula trifenestrata Helfer at the fifth instar stage, focusing on sexual dimorphism, scoli, and fluorescence hair warts. The larva displays a black body adorned with varying shades of orange to crimson–red transverse stripes and small yellow dorsal spots. Longitudinal stripes with fluorescent warts are observed in the subspiracular region, accompanied by an overall coverage of long white hairs. These distinctive features, including scoli and fluorescence hair warts, serve as effective defense mechanisms against predators and parasitoids

Abstract:
Soil-dwelling insects play indispensable roles in regulating soil health, nutrient cycling, plant productivity, and ecological stability within agroecosystems. As integral components of the soil food web, these organisms function as decomposers, herbivores, predators, mutualists, and bioindicators, facilitating organic matter breakdown, microbial regulation, and natural pest suppression. Their habitat preferences, vertical stratification, and functional niches are governed by soil moisture, texture, organic content, and vegetation diversity.
