Impact of Environmental Microparticles on Insect Olfaction
Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Terrestrial insects underpin key ecosystem services, including pollination, herbivory regulation, decomposition, nutrient cycling, and disease control. These functions depend on chemical communication that guides insects to food, mates, hosts, shelters, and oviposition sites while helping them avoid threats.

The oxygen and pressure physiology of upper elevational range limits in insects
Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Climate warming is widely expected to cause montane insects to shift upslope, and there is good evidence that some populations are doing so. Nevertheless, patterns are mixed—with evidence supporting upslope, downslope or even no movement of both lower and upper range ...

The decline and conservation of bumblebees [PDF]
, 2008 Declines in bumblebee species in the last 60 years are well documented in Europe, where they are primarily driven by habitat loss and declines in floral abundance and diversity resulting from agricultural intensification.

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Ecosystem services provide essential benefits to human survival and well‐being. Animal behaviour is central to the delivery of many ecosystem services, yet we know little about how behaviour drives services' provision.
