Minimising insect mortality during grassland mowing: The potential of insect chasing devices

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Insect chasing devices have a great potential to deter arthropods prior to mowing, thereby reducing mortality. The effectiveness of mechanical flushing bars is limited and depends on driving speed, vegetation structure and species composition. The blowing device is the most independent of external factors and therefore the most effective.

Intensity and colour of artificial light at night affect insect attraction in a taxon‐dependent manner

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
We measured the phototactic responses of insects to light at night using LED traps emitting light at four narrowband wavelengths of three intensity levels of relatively equal photon emission. Our data show an interaction between insect order and narrowband spectra, with marked differences in attraction between Lepidoptera and Diptera.

The magnitude of cryptic insect diversity in one tropical rainforest

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
We detected 214 cryptic species out of a total of 2006 species (10.6%) examined from 22 focal insect taxa in 1500 ha tropical rainforest in Panama. The percentage of cryptic species varied greatly among assemblages (0%–19%), with half of the assemblages devoid of cryptic species and the highest proportions of cryptics in Pieridae and Formicidae ...
