Carabid beetle assemblages associated with urban golf courses in the greater Helsinki area
European Journal of Entomology, 2010 Golf is a popular sport, with increasingly large areas of urban and peri-urban land being designated for golf course development. Yet, more than half of the land area of a typical golf course is considered rough and out-of-play areas that can, if managed

Assessing the Impact of Urbanization on Grasshopper Behaviour—A Fieldwork Approach
Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Urbanization is one of the most significant land‐use changes globally, profoundly impacting biodiversity across taxa. Insects, including grasshoppers (Orthoptera), are particularly sensitive to urban pressures, often exhibiting both morphological and behavioural adaptations.

European Journal of Entomology, 2009 To conserve the predators and parasitoids of agricultural pests it is necessary to understand their population structure in a mixed landscape, and to consider the spatial and temporal changes in their distribution and movement of adults and larvae.

Consistent root microbiomes across contrasting habitats in a wild perennial vine
Plant Biology, EarlyView.Communities of bacteria and fungi associated with the roots are similar across diverse habitats in a wild plant. Abstract While we are beginning to understand that the plant microbiome is important for plant health, we still lack information about how plant microbiomes are shaped across environments and how they influence plant performance, in ...

Global Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 3, September 2026.We show that impacts of agriculture on arthropod biodiversity are notably less negative in Europe than in other regions, which we find is driven by a degraded baseline, a selection bias of reference sites, and novel species compositions in agriculture that favour widespread habitat generalists and non‐native species.

Evaluation of the diet of a carabid predator using fluorescent marking of prey
European Journal of Entomology, 2015 We present a UV-fluorescent dye-based prey marking technique, using three different dyes, with later detection of the dyes in the guts of predators using a micro-plate fluorescent reader.

New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 3, September 2026.Loxomerus antipodes Liebherr and Marris, sp. nov. (Coleoptera: Carabidae), is described from the New Zealand subantarctic Antipodes Islands archipelago. Loxomerus antipodes, sp. nov., was considered conspecific with Loxomerus brevis Blanchard, 1853, from the Auckland Islands, but it is diagnosed from that sister taxon based on numerous anatomical ...
