Melipona rufiventris Lepeletier, a stingless bee species native to Brazil and referred to as uruçu-amarela, has experienced significant population declines in recent years due to the destruction of native semi-arid ecosystems and the overharvesting of honey. This study investigates the genetic diversity and population structure of M. rufiventris in the semiarid region of Brazil using microsatellite markers, laying the groundwork for monitoring the genetic shifts of bee populations across both sp

The Ara River, located in Ara, Southwestern Nigeria, is the largest water body in the area. An ecological assessment of the river was conducted using aquatic insect populations and various environmental factors as indicators to assess its ability to perform crucial ecological and supporting functions. Insects were collected monthly from January to June 2021 using a long-handled D-frame net (500 µm mesh) and hand-picking when needed. Key environmental variables, including water depth, water and a

The scale insect Stigmacoccus asper (Hemiptera: Stigmacoccidae) plays an important role in oak forest ecosystems and has potential applications in honeydew honey production. Despite its importance, knowledge gaps limit a full understanding of its ecological interactions. This study investigates the biological traits of S. asper within oak forests in the Department of Boyacá. Research efforts focused on tracking its development and evaluating population dynamics under controlled laboratory settin

Since 2020, Eurasia Specialized Veterinary Publication has been dedicated to publishing rigorous scientific research in veterinary medicine, entomology, animal health, and related disciplines. Our journals offer a peer-reviewed home for original research, review articles, and short communications, spanning veterinary and clinical sciences, animal health and disease management, pathology, pharmacology, diagnostics, zoonotic diseases, epidemiology, and public health. Our entomology titles bring together work on insect biology, ecology and behavior, taxonomy and systematics, physiology, biodiversity and conservation, pest management, and medical and veterinary entomology. We also welcome interdisciplinary research that explores the connections between animal, human, insect, and environmental health — work that reflects the reality that these fields rarely stand apart from one another. In all that we publish, our aim remains the same: to support the exchange of meaningful, practical scientific knowledge within the international research community.
