Digging into dirt: Rewilding with threatened mammals shapes soil‐emerging insect assemblages

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 7, Page 1207-1219, July 2026.
By comparing insect communities across treatments at two time points, we show that reintroduced digging mammals shape soil‐emerging insect assemblages. This provides empirical evidence that restoring ecosystem engineers may drive broader community‐level change in semi‐arid ecosystems. Abstract Digging mammals function as ecosystem engineers by altering

More diverse temperate forests are more resistant against non‐native insect herbivores

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 7, July 2026.
Promoting mixed forests could be an effective strategy to attenuate the impact of invasion by non‐native forest pests. Abstract In general, trees suffer less damage by insect herbivores when growing in forest mixtures than in tree monocultures. Yet, most current knowledge is based on responses of native herbivores to tree diversity.

Gall-Colonizing Ants and Their Role as Plant Defenders: From ‘Bad Job’ to ‘Useful Service’

Insects, 2019
Galls are neoformed structures on host plant tissues caused by the attack of insects or other organisms. They support different communities of specialized parasitic insects (the gall inducers), and can also provide refuge to other insects, such as moths,
