Annals of Applied Biology, EarlyView.This study demonstrates the ecological value of natural regeneration in the Brazilian Cerrado by analysing the biomass, richness and trophic structure of leaf litter insects across pasture (P), regenerating (R) and native (N) areas. We found that R areas supported insect communities more similar to N habitats than to Ps, with higher richness, greater ...

Effects of Land Management Strategies on the Dispersal Pattern of a Beneficial Arthropod [PDF]
, 2013 Several arthropods are known to be highly beneficial to agricultural production. Consequently it is of great relevance to study the importance of land management and land composition for the conservation of beneficial aphid-predator arthropod species in

Orchard Management Influences Predation of Halyomorpha halys Eggs
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.We investigated predation of eggs of the invasive stink bug Halyomorpha halys on apple trees in conventional, organic, and extensively managed Dutch orchards. Predation exceeded 40% in extensively managed orchards but was only about 10% in conventional and organic ones. We used camera traps to reveal natural enemies that may contribute to H.

Arthropod diversity in peas with normal or reduced waxy bloom [PDF]
, 2004 Crop traits can alter economically important interactions between plants, pests, and biological control agents. For example, a reduced waxy bloom on the surface of pea plants alters interactions between pea aphids and their natural enemies. In this study,

An Analysis of the Shore Beetle Communities of Some Channelized Streams in Northwest Ohio (Coleoptera) [PDF]
, 2017 The present shore beetle communities of some northwest Ohio streams channelized between 1937 and 1973 were studied. Quantitative and qualitative analyses were made to determine the effects of channelization on the community and the results are discussed.

What Goes First? Effects of Starvation on the Body Condition of a Neotropical Dung Beetle
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.We investigated how prolonged starvation affects key physiological traits in the dung beetle Dichotomius bos. Prolonged starvation leads to significant reductions in body dry mass and fat reserves, while muscle mass remains unchanged. These findings indicate that dung beetles prioritize the maintenance of locomotor muscles while mobilizing stored ...
