Here, we explore how climate change will impact the physiological processes associated with live birth in tsetse. This includes considerations of how blood feeding, host–pathogen interactions, and host–symbiont dynamics are likely to be impacted by thermal shifts. The highly specialized biology of tsetse flies suggests that this system is likely to have a distinctive response to climate change. Thus, detailed empirical research into these unique features is paramount for predicting tsetse population dynamics under climate change, with caution required when generalizing from other well-studied vectors with contrasting ecology and life histories such as mosquitoes and ticks. At the same time, the reproductive biology of tsetse, as well as microbiome and feeding dynamics, allow for a powerful model to investigate climate change through the lens of pregnancy and associated physiological adaptations in an extensively researched invertebrate.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11038,"journal":{"name":"Current opinion in insect science","volume":"69 ","pages":"Article 101369"},"PeriodicalIF":5.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143691225","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recent eco-evo-devo studies have provided a fresh perspective into how insect morphology can respond to the environment, both plastically and adaptively. Here, we performed a systematic literature analysis to identify biases and gaps in research on the molecular mechanisms underlying insect morphological adaptation and plasticity. We found that plasticity studies are increasingly present in the literature, while adaptation studies lag behind. Additionally, we observed a disproportionate focus on a few insect orders and specific traits like wings and body size. We highlight the need to explore the broader insect diversity, including understudied groups and unexplored traits like reproductive organs, as well as utilize advanced methods to capture subtle morphological variation. Studying a wider range of species with diverse morphologies and ecological features, as well as implementing modern genome-wide tools, can reveal the full spectrum of mechanisms underlying morphological adaptation and plasticity in insects.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11038,"journal":{"name":"Current opinion in insect science","volume":"69 ","pages":"Article 101362"},"PeriodicalIF":5.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143633708","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we review advanced technologies focusing on image recognition and DNA-based methods to monitor bees, hoverflies, moths, and butterflies. Insect camera traps are widely used to record nocturnal insects against uniform backgrounds, while cameras studying diurnal pollinators in natural vegetation are in early stages of development. Depending on context, insect camera traps can assess occurrence, phenology, and proxies of abundance for easily recognisable and common species. DNA-based techniques can drastically decrease the costs of sample processing and speed of specimen identification but strongly depend on the completeness of reference DNA databases, which are continually improving. Molecular analyses are becoming more affordable as uptake increases. Image-based methods for identification of dead specimens show promising results for some invertebrates, but image reference databases for pollinators are far from complete. Building image reference databases with expert entomologists is a priority. Lidar and acoustic sensors are emerging technologies although it is still uncertain which insect taxa can be separated in data from these sensors and how well. By improving accessibility to novel technologies and integrating them with existing approaches, monitoring of pollinators and other insects could deliver richer, more standardised and possibly cheaper data with benefits to future insect conservation efforts.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11038,"journal":{"name":"Current opinion in insect science","volume":"69 ","pages":"Article 101367"},"PeriodicalIF":5.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143630246","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
