Consumer or Decomposer? Behavioral and Morphological Diagnosis of White Grubs. [PDF]
Ecol EvolDetermining the ecological role of insect larvae is crucial for pest control and resource utilization, relying on effective behavioral or morphological identification traits. This study uses an improved six‐armed olfactometer to analyze the feeding habits of two sympatric white grubs and the correlated morphological traits, including the sensory ...

Linking agricultural diversification practices, soil arthropod communities and soil health
Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 60, Issue 9, Page 1952-1963, September 2023., 2023 Soil arthropods respond to agricultural diversification and can be used as bioindicators to assess the effects of diversification on soil health. Below‐ground arthropod communities are structured by crop type, suggesting that planting specific crops may promote soil arthropods and their services. We showed that incorporating winter pea and forage crops

Diversity Patterns of Dung Beetles along a Mediterranean Elevational Gradient
Insects, 2021 Most studies of biodiversity–elevational patterns do not take species abundance into consideration. Hill numbers are a unified family of indices that use species abundance and allow a complete characterization of species assemblages through diversity ...

Spatial and seasonal trait selection in dung beetle assemblages along an aridity gradient in the Sahara [PDF]
EcologyAbstract Ecological communities under extreme environments are shaped by a balance of environmental filtering and coexistence mechanisms that result in a series of assembly rules. Although there is abundant evidence about the importance of these community assembly mechanisms in plants, their effects have been seldom compared for animals.
