Long‐term effects of management intensity and bioclimatic variables on leatherjacket (Tipula paludosa Meigen) populations at farm scale

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 148, Issue 5, Page 518-527, June 2024.
Abstract Leatherjackets (Tipula spp.) are soil‐dwelling pests associated with agriculture. Land management decisions made at farm scale can have subsequent effects on their populations. Between 1980 and 2020, surveys were conducted across Scotland to collect field histories and larval population data from grassland farms.

Characterization of the complete mitochondrial genome of the snow crane-fly Chionea crassipes gracilistyla (Diptera, Tipuloidea, Limoniidae) with phylogenetic analysis

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2019
The genus Chionea Dalman, is a peculiar group of crane flies with extremely short wings. In this study, we report the first complete mitochondrial (mt) genome sequence of the genus Chionea, which is a circular molecule of 15,775 bp with an AT content of ...

Generalist southern African temperate forest canopy tree species have distinct pollinator communities partially predicted by floral traits

Austral Ecology, Volume 49, Issue 5, May 2024.
Pollination systems of tall forest trees are poorly studied, resulting from the difficulties in observing pollinator activity at canopy level and great temporal variation in flower production. Here, we observed insect flower visitors, at canopy level, to four southern Afrotemperate forest tree species bearing small, white to green flowers in a large ...

Facilitation of benthic assemblages by Bluehead Chubs: Testing the stress‐gradient hypothesis in streams

Ecology of Freshwater Fish, Volume 33, Issue 2, April 2024.
Abstract Ecosystem engineers facilitate beneficiary species by ameliorating physical habitat. The stress‐gradient hypothesis (SGH) predicts the importance of facilitation in communities should increase with physical stress but has rarely been tested in freshwater.

Active feeding of downstream migrating juvenile pink salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha) revealed in a large Barents Sea river using diet and stable isotope analysis

Journal of Fish Biology, Volume 104, Issue 3, Page 797-806, March 2024.
Abstract The recent, rapid spreading of non‐native pink salmon Oncorhynchus gorbuscha in the North Atlantic area has raised concerns about their possible negative impacts on native salmonid species. Potential interactions include competition for food resources during the short freshwater phase of juvenile O.

Meta‐analysis contrasting freshwater biodiversity in forests and oil palm plantations with and without riparian buffers

Conservation Biology, Volume 38, Issue 1, February 2024.
Abstract The expansion of oil palm plantations has led to land‐use change and deforestation in the tropics, which has affected biodiversity. Although the impacts of the crop on terrestrial biodiversity have been extensively reviewed, its effects on freshwater biodiversity remain relatively unexplored.
