External structures at the nest‐site predict asymmetric architecture of nests in a mud‐building bird

Ibis, EarlyView.
In the animal kingdom, nests are essential structures and textbook examples of extended phenotypes. However, the relationship between builders, nest traits and the nest‐site remains poorly understood. We indirectly examine whether structures in the nest‐site influence nest‐building behaviour, specifically focusing on their effect on nest architecture ...

Conservation implications of shifting habitat use in migrating insects: Selection patterns in a threatened damselfly show that season‐specific actions are needed

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Well‐preserved heathlands of NW Italy are the main overwintering habitat of Sympecma paedisca, while grassy margins in farmland are used only in summer and are avoided from autumn onwards. Grassy margins in farmland act as corridors during the species' migrations between its breeding (ricefields) and overwintering (lowland heathlands) grounds ...

Pan‐Europe Revisited: Inter‐War Debates and the EU's Pursuit of Geopolitical Power

JCMS: Journal of Common Market Studies, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The European Union's (EU) transformation from a peace project to an assertive geopolitical actor reflects enduring tensions in integration theory dating back to the inter‐war period. This paper develops a comparative framework distinguishing territorial integration logic, which emphasises bounded political communities and collective defence ...

Evaluating Syrphid Fly Predation on Aphids Under Controlled and Field Conditions in High Tunnels: A Comparative Study With Lacewings

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biological control in high tunnel systems can be optimised by matching predator species to seasonal environmental conditions. We evaluated the predatory efficacy of syrphid flies (Toxomerus marginatus (Say), Eupeodes americanus (Fabricius)) and lacewings (Chrysoperla carnea (Stephens), Chrysoperla rufilabris (Burmeister)) across laboratory ...
