The influence of cutting height on arthropods in farm grassland

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Mowing at a cutting height of 13 cm slightly reduced the immediate negative impact of mowing compared to mowing at a height of 7 cm. Medium‐term effects overrode this benefit: the number of vegetation‐dwelling arthropods remained strongly reduced two and four weeks after mowing, regardless of the cutting height.

An investigation into the distribution of woodland invertebrates with particular reference to carabid beetles, at high beach, Epping Forest [PDF]

open access: yes, 1991
Six replicate sites of Betula- Faguswere located at Epping Forest. Between June to October 1990 and April to May 1991 pitfall traps were used to sample the Invertebrate fauna.

Effects of Land Management Strategies on the Dispersal Pattern of a Beneficial Arthropod

open access: yes, 2012
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

Application of the mean individual biomass of ground beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) to assess the assemblage successions along areas of recent glacier retreats

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2014
Glacial retreat creates new habitat which is colonized by plants and animals during the process of primary succession. Traditionally, invertebrate succession along the glacier forelands has been spatially and temporally described by the following ...

Field Attraction of Natural Enemies to Methyl Salicylate Differs Between Annual and Perennial Cropping Systems

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Methyl salicylate (MeSA) is an herbivore‐induced plant volatile (HIPV) known to attract natural enemies of herbivores; however, its effectiveness as a semiochemical across diverse cropping systems and broad geographic regions remains unclear. In this 2‐year field study, we sampled natural enemies using MeSA‐baited and unbaited (control) yellow

Prey detection in carabid beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) in woodland ecosystems by PCR analysis of gut contents

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2014
Predatory carabid beetles are important for regulating prey abundance in terrestrial ecosystems. While surveys of carabid diet have revealed many insights into trophic interactions, the high species diversity and heterogeneous developmental stages of ...

Attraction of nocturnal scarab beetles by unusual floral volatiles in a Banksia (Proteaceae) with functionally diverse pollinators

open access: yesPlant Biology, EarlyView.
Banksia attenuata (Proteaceae) attracts nocturnal scarab beetles with an unusual floral scent—the beetles pollinate the flower as they feed on pollen and nectar and mate on the inflorescences. Abstract Pollination by beetles has evolved multiple times in flowering plants but with relatively few plant species adapted specifically to pollination by ...

Benign neglect enhances urban habitat heterogeneity: Responses of vegetation and carabid beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) to the cessation of mowing of park lawns

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2014
In this study, we investigate the changes in both vascular plant and carabid beetle assemblages in response to reducing the intensity of management of park lawns in the city of Helsinki.
