Genetic Consequences of Tree Planting Versus Natural Colonisation: Implications for Afforestation Programmes in the United Kingdom

Evolutionary Applications
The United Kingdom aims to dramatically accelerate the establishment of new woodlands by 2050, yet the impact of different afforestation strategies on landscape genetic diversity and resilience remains unclear.

Generation Rather Than Sex Shapes Wing Morphology in Cydalima perspectalis (Lepidoptera, Crambidae): Insights From Geometric Morphometrics and Climate‐Based Projections

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
An integrated framework combining geometric morphometrics and ecological niche modeling was applied to Cydalima perspectalis to assess intergenerational morphological variation, test sexual dimorphism, and predict future distribution under climate scenarios. Wing shape effectively discriminated between generations but not between sexes.

BIOCLIMATIC STRATEGIES FOR ENERGY-EFFICIENT HOTELS IN ABUJA, NIGERIA

This study examines bioclimatic strategies for improving energy efficiency in hotels in Abuja, Nigeria, with attention to the environmental requirements of five-star hospitality. Although previous studies have established the benefits of individual passive strategies in Nigerian buildings, limited attention has been given to their integrated ...

Bioclimatic strategies for Mexican dwellings: guidelines for climate adaptive resilient architecture

, 2022
[Abstract] The last decades have been marked by the progressive effect of climate change. Despite the global nature of the phenomena and its ubiquitous consequences, the intensity of the associated risks to the population are unevenly distributed.

Is urbanisation a barrier to genetic diversity in the solitary specialist bee, Melissodes druriellus?

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Bees are integral pollinators commonly found in and supported by urban green spaces; however, their eco‐evolutionary response to urbanisation varies interspecifically. While several studies have explored the population and landscape genetics of bees in response to urbanisation, few have examined solitary or specialist species which may be more ...

Detecting community assembly filters in urban butterflies through analyses of non‐Gaussian trait distributions

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Ecological filters shape community assemblages. When filters lead to non‐Gaussian distributions—for example, asymmetric, uneven, multimodal—the community weighted mean is insufficient to characterise the community. Urban environments exert deterministic directional and stabilising assembly filters on functional communities in butterflies, with a higher

Conifer host identity shapes wood‐boring beetle communities more than climate across a latitudinal forest gradient in Quebec (Canada)

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Host tree identity and latitude shaped wood‐boring beetle assemblages, with species richness declining northward but community composition varying among regions and hosts. Host tree species influenced beetle communities more strongly than climate; black spruce supported the most species, while eastern hemlock hosted very few.

Genetic erosion and projected habitat loss in the protected Alpine moth Actias isabellae galliaegloria (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae) Erosion génétique et perte d'habitat chez le papillon alpin protégé Actias isabellae galliaegloria (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae)

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Genomic analyses of Actias isabellae galliaegloria reveal low genetic diversity and inbreeding, indicating a historical bottleneck and reduced adaptive potential. Climate change is projected to drastically reduce suitable habitat by 2050, driven by rising temperatures and declines in Scots pine, its primary host.

First Record of Arrhenophagus chionaspidis Aurivillius (Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae) Parasitizing White Mango Scale in Kenya: Its Potential Distribution and Prospects in Biocontrol

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The white mango scale, Aulacaspis tubercularis Newstead (Hemiptera: Diaspididae), is one of the most destructive pests of mango worldwide. Its current management in most of the invaded areas largely depends on the intensive use of chemical insecticides.

Effects of Early Season Temperature on Adult Life History Traits of Wheat Stem Sawfly, Cephus cinctus (Hymenoptera: Cephidae) and Bracon cephi (Hymenoptera: Braconidae)

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Wheat stem sawfly, Cephus cinctus Norton (Hymenoptera: Cephidae), is a long‐standing and serious pest of wheat, Triticum aestivum Linnaeus (Poaceae), in the northern Great Plains region of North America. Over the last decade, research efforts have aimed to better understand C.
