Population trends and habitat preferences of ground‐nesting bees in arable landscapes from public‐based records

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
We investigated ground‐nesting bee distributions and trends in eastern Scotland by modelling public occurrence records (2010–2019) against relevant environmental variables. Our analysis revealed that the bee occurrence probability fell 8.7% per km2 between 2010–2014 and 2015–2019.

Eight Years of Citizen Science Reveal Taxonomic Confusion Patterns and Dynamic Participation in the Monitoring of Vespa velutina in Spain

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The yellow‐legged hornet (Vespa velutina nigrithorax) is a successful invasive species in Europe, where its monitoring is partially reliant on citizen science (CS) initiatives. While CS is a powerful tool for early detection, taxonomic confusion and fluctuating participant engagement can limit its effectiveness.

Not extinct but thriving—The rediscovery of the horseshoe bat fly Phthiridium biarticulatum (Diptera: Nycteribiidae) in the United Kingdom

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Bat flies such as Phthiridium biarticulatum Hermann are haematophagous ectoparasites of bats. Phthiridium biarticulatum was last recorded in the United Kingdom in 1959 and was considered regionally extinct. We report the presence of P. biarticulatum on Lesser Horseshoe Bats Rhinolophus hipposideros (Bechstein) across South West England.

Why be deciduous in a tropical savanna climate? Insights from leaf deployment, stem growth and sap flow dynamics

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Stem increment, sap flow and leaf phenology. Summary Savannas are ecosystems with hot and wet summers and warm and dry winters. How and why savanna trees partition their physiological activity through this seasonal cycle is unknown; yet it is important to understand this temporal partitioning in order to anticipate how anthropogenic climatic change ...

Reconstructing Cenozoic grasslands in North America and western Eurasia: evidence for cold‐season grasses from 3D phytolith morphology

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Pie charts illustrate the composition of fossil grass silica short‐cell phytolith (GSSCP) assemblages at investigated fossil sites in the United States and Türkiye and representative 3D meshes of classified phytoliths. Summary Pooideae, the largest grass subfamily, radiated in the Northern Hemisphere from the Paleocene onward and today dominates cold ...
