Biodiversity in mountain soils above the treeline

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 5, Page 1877-1949, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Biological diversity in mountain ecosystems has been increasingly studied over the last decade. This is also the case for mountain soils, but no study to date has provided an overall synthesis of the current state of knowledge. Here we fill this gap with a first global analysis of published research on cryptogams, microorganisms, and fauna in ...

Syrphid Diversity in Sweet Alyssum Flower Strips in Quebec's Lettuce Fields: Molecular Identification and Delimitation of the Sphaerophoria Complex

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 9, September 2025.
This study demonstrates that sweet alyssum effectively attracts syrphid species, the majority of which are aphid predators, making it a promising tool for biological control in Quebec lettuce fields. With Toxomerus marginatus as the most abundant species, the research also underscores taxonomic challenges within the Sphaerophoria complex and provides a

Der Einfluss von Feld- und Landschaftsparameter auf die Abundanzen wichtiger Rapsschädlinge [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
In agroecological research it has been appreciated only fairly recently that plant-insect interactions and other ecological processes depend on scales much larger than a single habitat (Wiens et al. 1997).

Arthropods Associated With Purple Loosestrife in Illinois Wetlands [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
We estimated and described the arthropod fauna on purple loosestrife (Lythrum salicaria) plants in northeastern Illinois wetlands. A total of 1063 individual arthropods were collected—930 insects and 133 arachnids.

The evolutionary ecology of interactive synchronism: The illusion of the optimal phenotype [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
In this article, we discuss some ecological-evolutionary strategies that allow synchronization of organisms, resources, and conditions. Survival and reproduction require synchronization of life cycles of organisms with favourable environmental ...

Reacquisition of New Meristematic Sites Determines the Development of a New Organ, the Cecidomyiidae Gall on Copaifera langsdorffii Desf. (Fabaceae)

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2017
The development of gall shapes has been attributed to the feeding behavior of the galling insects and how the host tissues react to galling stimuli, which ultimately culminate in a variable set of structural responses.
