Climate‐induced shifts in long‐term tropical tree reproductive phenology: Insights from species dependent on and independent of biotic pollination

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The dependence on biotic pollination may constrain plant phenological responses because flowering time ultimately defines reproductive success. We proposed a local‐scale study combining long‐term phenology and experimental data to evaluate how a key functional trait—the

Seed dormancy explains plant response to mass mortality events

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Mass mortality events (MMEs) are large‐scale, rapid die‐offs resulting in extreme inputs of carrion biomass. Recent work demonstrates the effects of increasing carrion biomass on plant communities modulated by vertebrate scavengers and herbivores.

Taxonomic and functional diversity of noctuoid moths in a Mediterranean coastal area: implications for dune conservation in a long‐term ecological research eLTER site

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
This study investigates the taxonomic and functional diversity of noctuoid moths in a protected coastal dune system in Central Italy, revealing strong ecological associations between moth assemblages and dune zonation. Differences in species composition and trait attributes, along with the presence of habitat‐exclusive species, highlight the role of ...

Body Size Regulates Niche Overlap Asymmetry in the Subtropical Andes Rain Shadow: Isotopic Paleoecology of Oligocene South American Ungulates

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This study provides the first isotopic analysis of Oligocene mammals from Quebrada Fiera, Mendoza, Argentina, filling a major gap in South American paleontology. It reveals a latitudinal gradient in aridity due to the Andean rain shadow and highlights the role of (semi)permanent water bodies in sustaining diverse herbivore communities. Additionally, it

Predators of the two paropsine leaf beetles Paropsisterna cloelia and Paropsis charybdis in eucalypt plantations in Marlborough, New Zealand Prädatoren der zwei Blattkäfer Paropsisterna cloelia and Paropsis charybdis in Eukalyptusplantagen in Marlborough, Neuseeland

open access: yesAgricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Coccinellidae (Coleoptera), Miridae (Hemiptera), Hemerobiidae (Neuroptera), Pentatomidae (Hemiptera), Anystidae (Acari), Erythraeidae (Acari) and spiders (Araneidae, Oxyopidae and Salticidae) fed on the invasive paropsine leaf beetles in Marlborough, New Zealand.

Differences in characteristics between naturalized threatened plants and other threatened plants

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Many non‐native plant species introduced by humans have become naturalized. At the same time many species are threatened in their native range. However, the number of plant species threatened in their native range that are naturalized elsewhere remains unknown.

Development and Reproduction of Nesidiocoris tenuis Reuter (Heteroptera: Miridae): The Effect of Temperature, Origin and Food

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Nymphal development took longer at 25°C than 30°C, and the Greek N. tenuis population developed more slowly than the commercial population. Nymphs clearly preferred E. kuehniella eggs over Artemia sp. cysts when both were offered equally. Egg production increased at 30°C, while female longevity declined.

Fluctuating asymmetry in spider‐hunting wasps as a possible indicator of stress in Brazilian Atlantic Forest landscapes Assimetria flutuante em vespas caçadoras de aranhas como possível indicador de estresse em paisagens da Mata Atlântica brasileira

open access: yesEcological Entomology, EarlyView.
Agricultural cover was positively associated with fluctuating asymmetry in Trypoxylon opacum, suggesting a possible increase in developmental instability in intensively managed landscapes. Wing size was positively related to forest cover and negatively related to agricultural cover, indicating that forested landscapes may promote larger body size ...

Arthropod niche differentiation linked to grazing‐induced sward islets in intensively managed agricultural pasture

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
In a given number of samples, grassland sward islets contain more species of arthropods than the surrounding sward. When corrected for abundance, there is no difference in species richness, suggesting that the effect of islets might purely be to concentrate arthropods. The community structure differences indicated by non‐metric multidimensional scaling
