Species traits modulate ecological release in island red devil spiders (Araneae: Dysderidae)

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
We studied the species ability to undergo an ecological release process in the red devil spiders (Araneae: Dysderidae) when colonising species‐depauperate environments, focusing on different aspects of their niche. We have found that the ability to expand their niche is highly dependent on the species trophic strategy, with specialist species being ...

Species‐ and trait‐based responses of carabids to rotation and closer‐to‐nature forestry in a temperate forest under changing climate

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Species‐specific responses of insects to forest management remain partly unfolded, thus ground beetles and their traits were studied in five different forestry treatments. Clear‐cuts and retentions had the most negative impact while habitat generalists and species with flexible breeding period have no response.

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

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
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.

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

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
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

Using citizen science as a research prioritization tool to detect co‐occurrences of the invasive species Harmonia axyridis

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
We studied co‐occurrences and potential novel interactions between the invasive ladybird Harmonia axyridis and local biota (plants, arthropods and fungi) across Argentina using citizen science records. We detected co‐occurrences (mainly Asteracea and Aphididae) and previously unreported interactions (predation, parasitism, interspecific mating and ...

Decapod Biodiversity Hotspots and Environmental Drivers: A Macroecological Approach About Bycatch Species in Brazil

Journal of Biogeography, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim To investigate the spatial patterns of species richness (SR), phylogenetic diversity (PD) and phylogenetic endemism (PE) in bycatch decapod crustaceans along the Brazilian Exclusive Economic Zone and to assess the influence of environmental variables and trawling effort on these diversity indices. Location Brazilian Exclusive Economic Zone.
