Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.We assessed alpha‐ and beta‐diversity patterns of spiders across different forests and across vegetation layers (ground, shrub, low canopy) at local spatial scales across various Mediterranean forest types. Across forests, alpha‐diversity increased with habitat heterogeneity, which also drove beta‐diversity patterns across plots .

Counteracting selective pressures: Museum collections show declining Aglais io wing size
Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.Using museum specimens, we found that forewing and hindwing length of Aglais io declined significantly between 1953 and 1984 across three north‐western German populations. The observed long‐term reduction in wing size in Aglais io is potentially linked to environmental change, with consistent patterns across all studied localities.

Ibis, EarlyView.Human‐induced environmental change is reshaping plant communities, requiring native animals to adapt their foraging behaviour to track and exploit novel food resources. Trees such as pines (Pinus spp.) introduced for plantation forestry outside of their native ranges often become naturalized.

A protracted phenology: Post‐diapause larval development of a threatened butterfly
Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.Larval survival during diapause was high; hibernaculum webs were mostly located near Succisa pratensis plants, which often retained vital leaves through winter. Post‐diapause developmental time varied strongly depending on exposure to different microclimates, being reduced by litter cover, solar radiation and a higher heat load index.

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.A unique high‐elevation Exoneura bee defies typical elevation‐driven declines in bee activity, nesting exclusively in dead branches of snow gums near the alpine tree line. Nesting and foraging are tightly linked to snow gum presence, with most activity occurring within 30 m of these trees. Biophysical modelling indicates the bee's thermally constrained

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.Consensus habitat‐suitability maps identify current hotspots of species richness across the Inner Western Anatolian mountain systems. Late‐century projections (2081–2100) under SSP2‐4.5 and SSP5‐8.5 show range shifts and changing richness patterns, intensifying at higher elevations.

Systematic differences in phenology estimates from unstructured and structured biodiversity datasets
Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.Unstructured and structured butterfly records produced similar estimates of temporal trends in phenology. Unstructured records showed earlier mean flight dates, earlier onsets and later ends, resulting in longer inferred flight periods. Systematic differences likely reflect sampling approaches and recorder behaviour rather than sample size alone ...
