Invertebrate communities from the mesovoid shallow substratum of the Carpatho-Euxinic area

Travaux de l'Institut de Speologie Emile Racovitza, 2010
Between 1998 and 2008, the authors analyzed from a faunistic and zoogeographic point of view, 5 sites with different types of mesovoid shallow subtratum (MSS) from the karst areas of Dobrogea and the Carpathians.

Change in the community of epigeal spiders and harvestmen (Araneae, Opiliones) with the age of an apple orchard

Plant, Soil and Environment, 2003
Change in the community of epigeal spiders and harvestmen (Araneae, Opiliones) was studied in an experimental apple orchard for six consecutive years. Five plots were surveyed by pitfall traps. Four of the plots were young (1-4 years); one plot was older

Solar parks provide heterogeneous habitats for winter‐active ground‐dwelling predatory arthropods

Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, Page 59-73, February 2026.
Forest provides stable temperature and high humidity, harbouring mainly forest‐associated winter‐active ground‐dwelling predatory arthropods. Grassland and abandoned farmland experience extreme temperatures, favouring mainly dry‐habitat winter‐active ground‐dwelling predatory arthropods.

Cave depth and subterranean connectivity are drivers of intraspecific trait variability in two subterranean congeneric beetles

Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, Page 153-164, February 2026.
The abundance of cave beetles increases with depth, with Duvalius hartigi exhibiting maximum densities at greater depths in volcanic systems. Troglomorphic traits become more pronounced with increasing depth exclusively in the alpine species Duvalius carantii.

Vegetation biomass and landscape context influence web‐building spider dietary breadth in urban vacant lots

Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, Page 126-140, February 2026.
Spider dietary breadth and overlap increased with imperviousness, suggesting that prey and spiders are concentrating in vacant lots in these landscapes. Higher vegetation biomass, which results from reduced mowing frequency, was associated with increased dietary breadth and shared prey between spiders.

Characterization of the Omnivorous Lygus lineolaris Diet in a Strawberry Field by Metataxonomy

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
This study employs metataxonomy to reveal the extensive omnivorous diet of Lygus lineolaris in a strawberry field, identifying 475 host taxa and confirming active ingestion across plant and prey sources. We introduce a novel coefficient of omnivory, demonstrating the species' strong herbivorous bias while highlighting its dietary flexibility and ...

Plant identity determines pollinator, natural enemy, herbivore, and decomposer abundances in flower plantings

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Flower plantings in agricultural landscapes can contribute to sustainable crop production by enhancing pollination and biological control services. However, selecting plant species that promote multiple ecosystem services is challenging, since plants that favor pollinators may not equally foster natural enemies, and potential trade‐offs, such ...

Meta‐analysis on effects of Bt‐maize on nontarget invertebrates – Data transportability across continents

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 1, Page 365-376, January 2026.
Maize varieties producing insecticidal proteins from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) have become an important component of integrated pest management worldwide. For regulatory approval of such plants, risks to the environment need to be assessed. To make such assessments less expensive and time‐consuming, conclusions drawn from data collected in one region

Comunidad de arañas (Arachnida, Araneae) del cultivo de alfalfa (Medicago sativa) en Buenos Aires, Argentina

Revista de Biología Tropical, 2010
En las últimas décadas se ha dado un interés creciente en el uso de enemigos naturales para controlar plagas de insectos, como arañas. Se estudió una comunidad de arañas en Argentina mediante un muestreo cada dos semanas durante el periodo 2004-2006 en ...
