Disentangling effects of abiotic factors and biotic interactions on cross-taxon congruence in species turnover patterns of plants, moths and beetles [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
High cross-taxon congruence in species diversity patterns is essential for the use of surrogate taxa in biodiversity conservation, but presence and strength of congruence in species turnover patterns, and the relative contributions of abiotic ...

Female moths call in vain: Streetlights diminish the promise of mating Weibliche Duftstoffe ohne Wirkung: Straßenbeleuchtung reduziert Paarungsaussichten bei Nachtfaltern

open access: yesEcological Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 4, Page 729-740, August 2025.
Male moth (Sphinx ligustri L.) flight behaviour was studied in a flight tunnel under varying light‐emitting diode (LED) types and intensities to assess arrival location, flight duration and direction changes. In a homogeneous light environment, all tested LEDs significantly reduced arrival frequency of males at the females compared with a dim light ...

Within-guild dietary discrimination from 3-D textural analysis of tooth microwear in insectivorous mammals [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Resource exploitation and competition for food are important selective pressures in animal evolution. A number of recent investigations have focused on linkages between diversification, trophic morphology and diet in bats, partly because their roosting ...

Efficacy of Heterorhabditis bacteriophora Against Diapausing Larvae of the Truffle Beetle, Leiodes cinnamomeus

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 7, Page 1105-1108, August 2025.
ABSTRACT The truffle beetle, Leiodes cinnamomeus, is the most important pest in black truffle (Tuber melanosporum) plantations. Adults and mycophagous larvae are active during autumn and winter, while diapausing larvae are not. Previous laboratory studies demonstrated the high virulence of the entomopathogenic nematode (EPN) Heterorhabditis ...

Spatio‐Temporal Variation in Diet Among Age and Sex Cohorts of a Model Generalist Bird Species, the Great Tit Parus major: New Insights Revealed by DNA Metabarcoding

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2025.
Identifying the sources of intraspecific dietary variation is central to understanding how populations adapt to environmental variation, and yet these sources are poorly understood in a key model species in avian ecology, the great tit. Here we use DNA metabarcoding to describe the diet of great tits at an unprecedented level of detail and reveal ...
