Deadly Decomposers: Distinguishing Life History Strategies on the Parasitism‐Saprotrophy Spectrum

open access: yesEcology Letters, Volume 28, Issue 6, June 2025.
Despite being widespread, common, and important to medicine and agriculture, parasitic decomposers are poorly understood. Drawing on literature spanning bacteria to animals, we show that these deadly decomposers follow similar life history strategies regardless of taxon. We define four such strategies, providing diverse biological examples and deriving

Up High, Hot and Dry: Individual Reproductive Output in Subalpine Bees Declines With Increasing Drought Severity

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 31, Issue 6, June 2025.
Climate change has been linked to widespread changes in the distributions and abundances of many wild bee species; yet, the local‐scale processes that generate these patterns are unclear. From 2013 to 2022, we tracked individual reproductive output (brood cell production) in over 700 solitary female mason bees at seven sites in the Colorado Rocky ...

Monitoring of Phenology and Population Trends of Lepidopteran Cone Pests in South Swedish Spruce Seed Orchards

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 5, Page 811-822, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Regeneration of Norway spruce, Picea abies, forests is to a large extent depending on the production of seeds from high quality plus trees in orchards. However, the seed yield is variable and unpredictable due to weather, pest insects and diseases.

Overwintering features of Drosophila parasitoids (Hymenoptera) in a temperate region of Japan

open access: yesPhysiological Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 2, Page 195-203, June 2025.
Overwintering was studied in parasitoids utilizing Drosophila flies by outdoor rearing and laboratory experiments in central Japan. Asobara, Ganaspis and Trichopria had limited capacities to overwinter under the climate of the study site. A number of Leptopilina tsushimaensis and Leptolamina sp.
