Drosophilidae is a relatively small family within Diptera. However, species of this family occupy a wide range of ecological niches and are frequently found in synanthropic habitats. Additionally, some species are known agricultural pests. The datase...

Understanding the biodiversity of aquatic communities and the underlying mechanisms that shape biodiversity patterns and community dynamics is crucial for the effective conservation and management of freshwater ecosystems. However, traditional survey...

The formation and development of mushrooms depend on suitable conditions of humidity, substrate, and temperature. These environmental factors are directly influenced by ongoing climate change, which may alter fungal growth patterns, distribution, and...

This paper describes a new species of extinct whitefly in the genus Gregorites Drohojowska & Szwedo, 2024, from the family Aleyrodidae. This species has been identified based on an inclusion in Eocene Baltic amber. This represents the eighth docu...
