Terrestrial Arthropod Assemblages: Their Use in Conservation Planning
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose that conservation biologists should take advantage of terrestrial arthropod diversity as a rich data source for conservation planning and management, and use the microgeography of selected arthropoid taxa to delineate distinct biogeographic zones, areas of endemism, community types, and centers of evolutionary radiation.

Biological identifications through DNA barcodes: the case of the Crustacea
L. Filipe O. Costa,Jeremy R deWaard,James A. Boutillier,Sujeevan Ratnasingham,Robert T Dooh,Mehrdad Hajibabaei,Paul D. N. Hebert +6 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that sequence variation in the COI barcode region will be very effective for discriminating species of Crustacea.

Flexural stiffness in insect wings. I. Scaling and the influence of wing venation.
TL;DR: This study addresses the relationship between venation pattern and wing flexibility by measuring the flexural stiffness of wings (in both the spanwise and chordwise directions) and quantifying wing venation in 16 insect species from six orders and demonstrates that leading edge veins are crucial in generating this spanwise-chordwise anisotropy.

The Magnitude of Global Insect Species Richness
TL;DR: For the insect groups for which figures are available, estimates of global total numbers of species are typically less than ten times the numbers of described species as mentioned in this paper. But these figures uniformly fail to support assertions that there are 30 million or more species of insects.
