Article Abstract
Monitoring changes in terrestrial arthropod communities over space and time requires a dramatic increase in the speed and accuracy of processing samples that cannot be achieved with morphological approaches. The combination of DNA barcoding and Malaise traps allows expedited, comprehensive inventories of species abundance whose cost will rapidly decline as high-throughput sequencing technologies advance. Aside from detailing protocols from specimen sorting to data release, this paper describes their use in a survey of arthropod diversity in a national park that examined 21 194 specimens representing 2255 species. These protocols can support arthropod monitoring programs at regional, national, and continental scales.

The cerambycid beetles are important components in the terrestrial ecosystem as they play a dual role in both degrading dying trees and killing healthy plants. The factors including human activity, habitat contraction, climate changes and pesticide use have been shaping the adaptation of beetles to host plants and the environment. As suggested in research on the functions of beetles' olfactory proteins, odorant binding proteins (OBPs) have been found to be involved in insecticide resistance other than chemoreception.

This study characterizes all medically diagnosed bites and stings in active component service members (ACSMs) from snakes, venomous fish, other venomous marine animals, arthropods, and insects identified through an evaluation of medical data from the Defense Medical Surveillance System (DMSS). Incident trends were determined from 2008 through 2023, and incidence rates (IRs) and incidence rate ratios (IRRs) were calculated. In total, there were 42,552 venomous bite and sting medical encounters among 39,201 ACSMs, resulting in an IR of 19.

The negative impacts of pesticides on biodiversity, ecosystem functioning, and human health are broadly documented and numerous policies have been proposed to reduce their use and associated risks. A key challenge is to provide relevant metrics of pesticide use that account for toxicity variation between pesticides to inform public policy. Here, we estimated temporal and spatial trends in pesticide pressure in France between 2008 and 2022 using the total applied toxicity (TAT) measure.

Arthropoda, the largest and the most diverse invertebrate Phylum, are increasingly impacted by microplastic (MP) pollution across varied range of habitats. This review synthesizes toxicity of MPs in different taxa of arthropods with references to exposure route, tissue level accumulation and toxicokinetic behaviour with a focus on physiological outcomes. This review article comprehensively identified that gut and gill are the primary sites of MP accumulation.

The tropical rainforest is one of the most biodiverse, productive, and complex terrestrial biomes in the world. Human-induced environmental changes increase the emergence and spread of vector-borne diseases. Ticks (Acari: Ixodida) are medically and veterinary important arthropods that infest a wide range of vertebrate hosts, including humans, and act as vectors of diverse pathogens, such as bacteria of the genus Rickettsia.
