The association of Mediterranean plant species with herbivorous arthropods and its effect on pest abundance in organic vineyards

open access: yesAnnals of Applied Biology, Volume 188, Issue 1, Page 369-385, January 2026.
We determined the associations of native Mediterranean plant species located around organic vineyards with species of Auchenorrhyncha and phytophagous tetranychid and tenuipalpid mites, including important vineyard pests: Jacobiasca lybica and Tetranychus urticae.

The development of insect diversity and ecosystem complexity on green roofs: A review

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 1, Page 11-25, January 2026.
A classification system of different roof types is presented to improve consistency in green roof research. Landscape and green roof characteristics influence ecosystem development, but can be further explained by ecological concepts, like neutral and niche theory.

Spreading of recently introduced North American sand dropseed (Sporobolus cryptandrus) threatens European native dry grassland arthropods

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 1, Page 131-145, January 2026.
The effects of sand dropseed (Sporobolus cryptandrus) invasion on arthropods depended on its density and varied between habitat types and arthropod groups. Vegetation‐dwelling, primarily herbivorous orthopterans and true bugs were most sensitive to invasion. Sand dropseed negatively affected the arthropod species of high natural value.

Weaving together the past, present and future of Greek arachnofauna: Biodiversity, knowledge gaps and conservation

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 1, Page 158-171, January 2026.
Greece hosts 1310 species of spiders, 226 of which are endemic. Out of the 202 assessed species in IUCN standards, 64.5% are assessed as threatened. Integrating 187 articles and other forms of literature, we present 18,000 unique occurrences across continental and island Greece. Spider conservation in Greece should focus on obtaining distributional and

SPECIALISED PREDATION BY PALPIMANUS SP. (ARANEAE: PALPIMANIDAE) ON JUMPING SPIDERS (ARANEAE: SALTICIDAE)

open access: yesJournal of East African Natural History, 2005
This is the first detailed report on the natural prey and the prey-capture tactics of a Palpimanus sp. from Entebbe (Uganda). Although this species fed occasionally on insects, its dominant prey in the field was other spiders, especially jumping spiders (Salticidae) and their eggs. Encounters between Palpimanus sp.

The value of public databases for our knowledge of national spider biodiversity compared to a long‐term scientific monitoring project

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 1, Page 228-239, January 2026.
Records in citizen science platforms in Sweden are biased towards visible, diurnal, urban species but provide a cost‐effective way to gather large datasets and engage the public. National scientific surveys like the Swedish Malaise Trap Project remain essential to detect rare and cryptic species without activity bias, though some spider families are ...
