| papua-insects.nl | Papua Insects Foundation | A team of 19 scientists from seven countries embarked on an expedition from September 10th to October 7th to Yapen Island, Indonesia, to study the island’s insect life. The primary goal of the expedition is to contribute to the preservation of Papua Indonesia's extraordinary biodiversity and to raise awareness about the importance of the Henk van Mastrigt collection (KSP). The expedition is led by Rob de Vos and Peter Jan de Vries, specialists in Lepidoptera and Trichoptera, and includes experts in Orthoptera, Diptera, and butterflies, aiming to discover new species and gain insight into the island’s natural history. | Asia → Indonesia 117 | insect 23 scientist 59 expedition 227 biodiversity 720 | |

| evelineverhulst.nl | Wageningen University | The group focuses on evolutionary developmental biology, specifically the evolution of sex determination and differentiation in insects. Their research explores the molecular mechanisms behind sexual dimorphism in insects, investigating the role of the ‘doublesex’ gene. The team’s work includes projects related to biocontrol, alongside studies on the genetic regulation of sexually dimorphic traits in insects. They are investigating how genetic regulation changes over time, rather than relying solely on changes in protein sequences. The website features content related to the group's research, including blogs, publications, protocols, and presentations, alongside information on teaching and dissemination activities. | Biology → Genetics 74 | | |

| aganainae.nl | Jaap Zwier | The site presents images and data collected by the author regarding the Aganainae family, documenting its history and taxonomic changes. The Aganainae family's naming has evolved over time, from Hypsidae to Aganainae, and is now considered a subfamily within the Noctuidae family. The author intends to complete a new, comprehensive survey of the Aganainae family in the future and welcomes contributions and opinions from other interested visitors. | | survey 370 image 2605 data 5872 family 6462 | |
| huurnujekantoor.nl | NiaHeal | Scientists engineered a genetically resistant strain of Anopheles stephensi mosquitoes by introducing a naturally occurring variant (Q224), significantly reducing malaria spread in field trials. A new wasp species was identified through DNA barcoding during a citizen science program in Canada, highlighting the value of public participation in scientific discovery. Several research studies are presented, including investigations into asteroid proximity, potential treatments for Parkinson’s disease and leptomeningeal metastases, and the effectiveness of ivermectin in malaria control. | Disease & Treatment → Diseases 829 | mosquito 15 malaria 17 scientist 59 wasps 181 study 720 research 8967 | |

| addbees.nl | Jacques van Alphen | The article ‘Why Bees Are Dying: A Forgotten Cause’ is written by Jacques van Alphen, a biologist and emeritus professor of animal ecology, who has researched various aspects of bee study, including their behavior and conservation. The article describes Mike Alsopp's research into the spread of the Varroa mite in South Africa, starting in 1997, and how the mite infection rate has decreased over the years. Jacques van Alphen lives (partially) in Northern France and keeps black bees there, suggesting that the site focuses on the collection and study of these bee species. | Biodiversity → Pollinators 31 | leiden university 12 south africa 110 bees 373 research 8967 | |
