Enhancing arthropod communities through plant diversified edge of kale cultivation
Pesquisa Agropecuária Gaúcha, 2023 Plant diversification can increase organism abundance while reducing phytophagous insect activity in agricultural crops. We assessed arthropod diversity in fava beans (Vicia faba), fennel (Foeniculum vulgare), and marigolds (Tagetes patula) along the ...

Quantification of invertebrates on fungal fruit bodies by the use of time‐lapse cameras
Ecological Entomology, Volume 48, Issue 5, Page 544-556, October 2023., 2023 Here we use time‐lapse cameras to monitor invertebrates on the fruit bodies of a common wood‐decay fungus, Fomitopsis pinicola. The most common visitors were beetles, spiders, true flies, slugs and centipedes. The invertebrates were more active during night and, for the beetles, early in the season, probably related to a period of high spore production

Aliens in caves: the global dimension of biological invasions in subterranean ecosystems
Biological Reviews, Volume 98, Issue 3, Page 849-867, June 2023., 2023 ABSTRACT Alien species are a significant threat to natural ecosystems and human economies. Despite global efforts to address this challenge, the documented number of alien species is rapidly increasing worldwide. However, the magnitude of the impact of alien species may vary significantly across habitats.

Freshwater Biology, Volume 67, Issue 8, Page 1411-1427, August 2022., 2022 Abstract Tropical freshwater invertebrate species are becoming extinct without being described, and effective conservation is hampered by a lack of taxonomic and distribution data. DNA metabarcoding is a promising tool for rapid biodiversity assessments that has never been applied to tropical freshwater invertebrates across large spatial and taxonomic ...

Environmental DNA, Volume 4, Issue 4, Page 790-807, July 2022., 2022 Abstract Biodiversity is in decline due to human‐induced pressures on ecosystems around the world. To be able to counteract this alarming trend, it is paramount to closely monitor biodiversity at global scales. Because this is practically impossible with traditional methods, the last decade has seen a strong push for new solutions.

Journal of Morphology, Volume 283, Issue 6, Page 693-770, June 2022., 2022 The ant abdomen is critically understudied, despite its functional, evolutionary, and systematic importance. Using physical dissection, scanning electron microscope, histology, and microcomputed tomography, we provide the first complete treatment of the skeletomusculature, exocrine glands, and other major organs of the abdomen.

The ecological function of insect egg micropyles
Functional Ecology, Volume 36, Issue 5, Page 1113-1123, May 2022., 2022 Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Insect egg micropyles are openings through the chorion allowing sperm entry for fertilisation. Micropyles are diverse structures showing remarkable variation in number, spatial arrangement and physical structure across extant insect orders.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 3, March 2022., 2022 In this article, we assessed the differences in diet estimates and potential ecological and economic impact measurements according to the section of the gastrointestinal tract (stomach, small and large intestine) analysed. We aimed to test which section(s) provided a better diet representation and putative impact of a common inland invader.
