Impacts of land use change on diaspore‐dispersing ant assemblages in southwestern Amazonia

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Land use changes shift ant assemblages, more intensive land uses are dominated by generalist and open habitat specialist species engaging in group foraging. The diaspore removal rates cannot differ, but the quality of dispersal was lower in disturbed habitats.

Demonstration of an instream flow model to accommodate a threatened tiger beetle in riverine dune habitat

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Burrows of the threatened Gibson's Big Sand Tiger Beetle in riverine dune habitats are susceptible to flooding through managed flows. HEC‐RAS modelling identified the flow thresholds above which flooding would occur for burrows and affect the beetle larvae. These findings provide instream flow guidelines for conserving this threatened species and guide

Passive transponder implantation in Theraphosidae: A tool for traceability and conservation

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
PIT TAG microchip implantation was successfully performed in multiple tarantula species, showing high tolerance, rapid recovery from anaesthesia and no mortality associated with the procedure. Microchips remained stable and detectable after successive ecdysis events, with no negative effects on feeding behaviour, development, courtship, mating success ...
