Agricultural pond restoration enhances species richness in non‐biting midges (Diptera: Chironomidae)

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Agricultural ponds are biodiversity hotspots, especially when restored to open‐canopy conditions. Studies comparing pre‐ and post‐restoration pond diversity are rare, however, and have widely focused on “easy‐to‐identify” taxa. Chironomids have so far been neglected in pond restoration studies, but are a highly speciose group critical to aquatic ...

Restoration using flow deflectors: a question of fine‐scale spatial layout in headwater stream beds

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Current European Union objectives for 2030 aim to restore ecosystems to halt biodiversity loss. Here, we studied the consequences of headwater stream restoration by placing large wood in the streambed to act as flow deflectors. We hypothesized that these flow deflectors would create a fine‐scale spatial arrangement of habitats, fostering a diverse and ...

Temporal and Ontogenetic Changes in Feeding Ecology of a Characid From Karst Dolines of the Neotropics

open access: yesEcology of Freshwater Fish, Volume 34, Issue 4, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Environmental and biological factors strongly shape fish diets, yet little is known about such influences in flooded Karst Dolines of the Neotropical region. This study examined the diet of Deuterodon luetkenii and assessed its temporal and ontogenetic variation in Lagoa Misteriosa, a karstic lagoon. Fish were sampled bimonthly over 1 year and

Complementarity between Orius predators improves control of foliar and flower pests

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 8, Page 4230-4242, August 2025.
Orius predators are commonly used against thrips in many crops. Certain species are suggested to be more effective against flower pests, while others may control effectively foliar pests. Here, we show that Orius species combinations may complement each other and effectively control both flower and foliar pests on gerbera.
