Coconut rhinoceros beetle Oryctes rhinoceros (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) confirmed in the Americas

open access: yesEPPO Bulletin, EarlyView.
Abstract In 2022, a suspected incursion of Oryctes rhinoceros (coconut rhinoceros beetle, CRB) was reported in Bahía de Banderas, Nayarit, México, based on damage symptoms observed on coconut palms and photographs of beetles on a social media site. This prompted collaboration with local biologists and land managers, and a survey of the area with the ...

The conservatism of prairie pollinators according to experts and empiricism

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
We derived ecological conservatism values for prairie pollinators using expert opinion and analysis of remnant fidelity. Expert values were potentially biased and struggled to differentiate between remnant and non‐remnant prairie sites Empirical values showed advantages for pollinator‐based site assessment and prioritization in prairie regions ...

Catch effectiveness, complementarity and costs of five sampling techniques for flying insects across different land use types

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Coloured canopy Malaise traps, branch sampling and caterpillar traps detected most BOLD‐BINs and showed the highest cost‐efficiency in capturing flying insects across land use types, in singular and combined use. Caterpillar traps were particularly effective in forests and detected far more taxa than only Lepidopterans.

Towards DNA metabarcoding‐based haplotype for monitoring terrestrial arthropod communities

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
The wocDNA metabarcoding includes robust sampling, wocDNA genomic extraction and library preparation. High‐throughput sequencing (HTS) followed by bioinformatic processing for quality control. The creation of a community matrix from haplotypes for ecological diversity and phylogenetic analyses.

Species‐ and trait‐based responses of carabids to rotation and closer‐to‐nature forestry in a temperate forest under changing climate

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Species‐specific responses of insects to forest management remain partly unfolded, thus ground beetles and their traits were studied in five different forestry treatments. Clear‐cuts and retentions had the most negative impact while habitat generalists and species with flexible breeding period have no response.
