Radio telemetry reveals extensive dispersal capabilities of reintroduced Great Capricorn beetles (Cerambyx cerdo) in oak habitats at their northern range limit

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 18, Issue 5, Page 810-817, September 2025.
Extensive dispersal: Great Capricorn beetles dispersed up to 822 m in fragmented oak habitats. Sex‐independent movement: Dispersal distances were not significantly influenced by sex, body size or mating status. Conservation implications: Findings underscore the importance of large, connected habitats for beetle reintroductions.

Evidence of reproduction in the wild demonstrates initial success for reintroducing a Critically Endangered saproxylic hoverfly to a Scottish forest ecosystem

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 18, Issue 5, Page 757-774, September 2025.
Following substantial investment in facilities and resources, 12,720 pine hoverfly larvae from a dedicated breeding programme were released across three release sites in 2021 and 2022. Post‐release monitoring of larvae in artificially created rot holes in Scots pine stumps and logs has detected evidence of successful reproduction at two of these three ...

Molecular Identification of Agrilus anxius (Coleoptera: Buprestidae) Using a qPCR Assay With Locked Nucleic Acid (LNA) Probe

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 5, Page 757-768, June 2025.
ABSTRACT In the present study, a biomolecular diagnostic assay based on qPCR‐LNA (Locked Nucleic Acid) probes was developed for the identification of Agrilus anxius (Coleoptera: Buprestidae) from adult insects. The performance of the new protocol was also evaluated for indirect diagnosis of the insect's presence on artificially contaminated frass.

Beetle assemblage distribution along edge–forest gradient in a managed oak forest

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 26, Issue 4, Page 496-507, November 2024.
Forest ecotone hosted the highest diversity of trophic groups of beetles. Xylophagous, saproxylophagous and pollenophagous beetles exhibited positive association with the shelterwood strip system. According to the fourth‐corner analysis, phytophagous beetles were positively associated with the closed forest, whereas phloephagous beetles were positively

Veteran trees and saproxylic insects in the floodplains of Lower Morava and Dyje rivers, Czech Republic

Journal of Maps, 2017
Veteran and solitary trees are key structures supporting biodiversity in many wooded ecosystems. Their global decline threatens numerous organisms associated with them, including several insect species protected by law that serve as umbrella species. The

Poor convergence between local traditional farmers and conservationists on which species to protect locally

People and Nature, Volume 6, Issue 4, Page 1421-1434, August 2024.
Abstract Locals engaged in traditional farming and possessing traditional ecological knowledge consider certain species worthy of protection, as do official nature conservationists, although the sets of taxa may not be identical. Exploring the relationship between the two sets of taxa could bring many practical benefits, yet the literature on this ...

International Biological Flora: Ceratonia siliqua

Journal of Ecology, Volume 112, Issue 8, Page 1885-1922, August 2024.
The carob tree (Ceratonia siliqua) has a long traditional history in Mediterranean cultures providing food for humans and domestic animals. Its remarkable tolerance of drought, salt and fire, with an ability to thrive in poor, dry soils, makes it ideal for a warming Mediterranean climate.

Monitoring of saproxylic beetles in Croatia: following the path of the stag beetle

Nature Conservation, 2017
As a member of the European Union, Croatia is obliged to report on the conservation status of 220 animal non-bird species listed in the annexes of the Habitats Directive (92/43/EEC), for which purpose a monitoring system is being established.
