Changes in insect diversity and abundance can affect vertebrates but understanding these consequences relies on having rich information about vertebrate–insect interactions. This Review summarizes the...

New underground labs are being built as war rages on

The Clemson University Arthropod Collection turns 100 this year, and the data it contains is more valuable to the University's land-grant mission than ever. The Clemson University Arthropod Collection...

Understanding when lineages diverged is a common inquiry within the field of biogeography and often requires a rate of evolution and a means to calibrate the phylogeny to absolute time. While fossil e...

Large-scale genome initiatives are transforming biodiversity genomics, but genomes remain taxonomically sparse and difficult to compare across species. Kapli and colleagues argue that natural history ...

The Tohono O'odham people have sued the US government to stop construction of a border wall through their reservation.

Last month, the announcement of a new-to-science monkey species from the Congolese rain forest made a bit of a splash. It’s Colobus congoensis, formally, and less formally and based on a local name…

Most people associate the insects with filth, but they are vital to the food cycle and sometimes even pretty

The IUCN Species Survival Commission has published a Position Statement on the vital role of biological collections in biodiversity conservation: a formal acknowledgement that natural history museums,...

When two populations come into secondary contact, assortative mating can act as a barrier to gene flow. However, when assortative mating is incomplete, associations between preference and cue loci can...
