Scientists’ warning on the global destruction of rock outcrop ecosystems

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Rock outcrops are geological formations that harbor a highly specialized biota adapted to harsh environmental conditions that differ from their surrounding landscapes. They are globally distributed, especially in old, highly weathered landscapes, and can function as habitat islands containing high levels of endemism and distinct evolutionary ...

Clogmia albipunctata Larvae Influence the Odour Dynamics of Rotting Organic Matter

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Drain flies live in organic waste. We investigated how drain fly larvae influence the unpleasant smells produced by sewage sludge and rotting nettle. Although the perception of these smells did not change significantly according to the public, chemical analyses showed that sewage sludge with drain fly larvae yielded a different composition of odors ...

No evidence of a decoy effect in bees: Rewardless flowers do not increase bumblebees' preference for neighbouring flowers

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Many plants retain nectarless flowers; we tested whether these act as “decoys” for bees by making neighbouring rewarding flowers seem more valuable—a cognitive bias known as the decoy effect. The presence of decoy flowers did not shift bumblebee preferences between two equally rewarding inflorescences, and bees quickly learned to avoid these nectarless
