The value of regeneration for insect fauna associated with leaf litter in the Brazilian savanna: A comparative study of biomass and trophic structure

Annals of Applied Biology, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates the ecological value of natural regeneration in the Brazilian Cerrado by analysing the biomass, richness and trophic structure of leaf litter insects across pasture (P), regenerating (R) and native (N) areas. We found that R areas supported insect communities more similar to N habitats than to Ps, with higher richness, greater ...

Fluctuating asymmetry in spider‐hunting wasps as a possible indicator of stress in Brazilian Atlantic Forest landscapes Assimetria flutuante em vespas caçadoras de aranhas como possível indicador de estresse em paisagens da Mata Atlântica brasileira

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Agricultural cover was positively associated with fluctuating asymmetry in Trypoxylon opacum, suggesting a possible increase in developmental instability in intensively managed landscapes. Wing size was positively related to forest cover and negatively related to agricultural cover, indicating that forested landscapes may promote larger body size ...

Influence of forest cover and sex on wing size and shape of a spider‐hunting wasp in the Brazilian Atlantic forest

Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, Page 165-176, February 2026.
Forest cover significantly influences the wing shape of female Trypoxylon lactitarse. Females exhibit longer and narrower wings, linked to greater flight efficiency and dispersal. Sexual dimorphism indicates that females respond differently to ecological pressures, underscoring the role of forest cover in species persistence.

Effects of flower patch additions and urbanisation on cavity‐nesting bees and wasps

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 1, January–March 2026.
Urbanisation can negatively affect cavity‐nesting bees and wasps, yet common conservation interventions such as flower patches and artificial nests lack strong empirical support. In a 2‐year experiment across urban allotments spanning an urbanisation gradient, we found no effect of added floral resources on nest uptake, while hymenopteran abundance ...

Insect visitation patterns in diploid Centaurea aspera and its related allotetraploid and triploid hybrids: Similar rates but distinct assemblages

American Journal of Botany, Volume 112, Issue 9, September 2025.
Abstract Premise Polyploidy is key to plant evolution by contributing to speciation, diversification, and adaptability. However, the minority cytotype exclusion effect can limit the persistence of polyploids, which can be mitigated by reproductive barriers such as distinct insect visitation between cytotypes. In eastern Spain, the diploid C.
