Forest cover influences the movement and behaviour of GPS‐tagged Golden Eagle (Aquila chrysaetos): insights from flight characteristics and perch site selection

open access: yesIbis, EarlyView.
Habitat selection can vary substantially depending on species‐specific and behaviour‐specific resource requirements. Identifying these resources and gaining a detailed understanding of their importance can inform effective conservation actions and contribute to assessing the impacts of environmental change.

Comparing species accumulation within taxonomically well‐ and poorly resolved insect groups over 37 years

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Here, we used a unique 37‐year (1969–2006) freshwater macroinvertebrate time‐series, collected over seven sites in central Germany, to study biodiversity patterns and species accumulation over time. Accumulation curves of Diptera diversity have not reached a plateau in 37 years of sampling.

Fragmented grasslands in different landscape structures provide different opportunities for cavity‐nesting Hymenoptera

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Grassland fragmentation effects on cavity‐nesting Hymenoptera are habitat‐specific. Isolated sand steppe fragments are associated with higher brood‐cell abundance. In loess steppes, higher flower frequency increases bee brood‐cell production and parasitoid activity. Abstract The global decline in insects threatens ecosystem functioning, but the drivers

Seasonal shifts in network structure and species roles in a tropical island plant–flower visitor community Cambios estacionales en la estructura de la red de interacciones entre plantas y visitantes florales y en los roles de las especies en una comunidad insular tropical

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Constant visitation rates across the flowering season masked major shifts in plant and flower visitor interaction structure, specialization, species roles and trait‐driven patterns shaping interaction intensity. Plants and flower visitors changed ecological roles over time, with native flower visitors playing key roles in maintaining network cohesion ...

Environmental and seasonal filtering of taxonomic, functional and phylogenetic diversity patterns of mountain butterflies in a prime butterfly area, Greece

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Forest clearings support butterfly communities comparable to mountainous grasslands in alpha‐diversity and conservation value, yet remain compositionally distinct. Generalized linear models (GLMs) showed three key habitat predictors shaping multifaceted diversity and community composition: herb/grass height, flowerhead abundance and elevation.

Fire‐driven forest degradation enhances termite activity and accelerates litter decomposition in the Amazonia rainforest

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Forest degradation increased termite‐mediated litter decomposition, whereas no such effect was detected in undisturbed forests. Reduced ant predation and altered forest conditions were associated with higher termite abundance and faster litter decomposition.
