TL;DR: Using long-term observations across Europe and North America over 110 years, testing for climate change–related range shifts in bumblebee species across the full extents of their latitudinal and thermal limits and movements along elevation gradients found cross-continentally consistent trends in failures to track warming through time at species’ northern range limits.

TL;DR: All 8237 species-group taxa of Coleoptera known to occur in Canada and Alaska are recorded by province/territory or state, along with their author(s) and year of publication, in a classification framework.

TL;DR: In this article, the nuclear ribosomal DNA first internal transcribed spacer (ITS1) sequences from 10 Nicrophorinae species revealed N. americanus to form a distinct clade with N. orbicollis Say.

TL;DR: An artificial intelligence-based approach - inferring species membership via DNA barcoding with back-propagation neural networks (named BP-based species identification) - is proposed as a new advance to the spectrum of available methods.

TL;DR: All available species-group names of the subfamily Nicrophorinae (Coleoptera: Silphidae) are cataloged herein and the following nomenclatural acts are made.
