Complex effects of climatic variation on bumblebee queen fitness

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
A dearth of data on the health of wild‐insect populations hinders efforts to fully grasp the extent of historical population declines or unravel the mechanisms driving these effects. We help fill this data deficit by testing how climatic variation affects health, reproduction, size and survival in bumblebees—important insect pollinators.

Evaluation of BugBox, a software platform for AI‐assisted bioinventories of arthropods

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
The BugBox artificial intelligence platform performed reliably on coarse biodiversity analysis of agrobiont arthropods, even while its models were still being developed and trained. This gives scientists the ability to conduct large‐scale bioinventories rapidly, to inform growers and policymakers on environmental issues in a timely fashion.

Large herbivores are linked to higher herbaceous plant diversity and functional redundancy across spatial scales

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study shows that large herbivores consistently increase herbaceous plant richness and functional redundancy across spatial scales (alpha and gamma diversity), with the strongest effects observed at the landscape scale. These findings highlight the role of large herbivores in promoting biodiversity and vegetation resilience, underscoring their ...

12 years of assembly patterns in saproxylic beetles suggest early decay wood as ephemeral resource patch

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
We reveal that early stages of deadwood decomposition follow ecological rules of ephemeral resource patches. By tracking beetle communities over 12 years, we show how decomposition dynamics shape community assembly patterns, highlighting the importance of continuous deadwood input for sustaining saproxylic beetles in temperate forests.
