Large positive ecological changes of small urban greening actions

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 4, Issue 3, July–September 2023., 2023
Urban greenspaces are known to mitigate the detrimental effects of urbanisation and support functionally diverse ecological communities, yet evidence of the ecological outcomes of urban greening remains scarce. Using a longitudinal observational design based on plant–insect interactions, we show how a small greening action quickly led to large positive

Theme and variation in the evolution of insect sex determination

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, Volume 340, Issue 2, Page 162-181, March 2023., 2023
Graphical abstract Sex determination and dimorphic somatic differentiation are common in insects, such as the milkweed bugs (Oncopeltus fasciatus) shown here. Variation in the functions and structure of genes implicated in insect sex determination is not uniformly distributed.

Invasion disharmony in the global biogeography of native and non‐native beetle species

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 27, Issue 11, Page 2050-2062, November 2021., 2021
Abstract Aim The concept of “island disharmony” has been widely applied to describe the systematic over‐ and under‐representation of taxa on islands compared to mainland regions. Here, we explore an extension of that concept to biological invasions. We compare biogeographical patterns in native and non‐native beetle (Coleoptera) assemblages from around

Phenological shift along an elevational gradient and dispersal of pollen and seeds maintain a hybrid zone between two cherry tree species

Plant Species Biology, Volume 36, Issue 2, Page 230-245, April 2021., 2021
Hybrid zones between species with staggered reproductive phenology sometimes occur along elevational gradients, and the maintenance of such hybrid zones may depend on elevational shift in phenology and vertical dispersal of pollen and seeds. In a hybrid zone of Cerasus leveilleana and C.

New mid-Cretaceous cryptic slime mold beetles and the early evolution of Sphindidae (Coleoptera: Cucujoidea) [PDF]

Arthropod Systematics & Phylogeny, 2021
The cryptic slime mold beetles, Sphindidae, are a moderately diverse cucujoid beetle family, whose members are obligately tied to slime molds throughout their life.
