Turnover-Dominated β-Diversity and Its Temperature and Trophic Drivers of Scarabaeoidea Assemblages Along an Elevational Gradient in a Tropical Island Rainforest in China. [PDF]
Ecol EvolAn important issue with diversity patterns along elevational gradients in mountain ecosystems is that far few studies have incorporated abundance and top‐down effects‐which may covary with environmental gradients‐when inferring the mechanisms structuring insect communities. Here, we tested the effects of potential drivers (temperature, humidity, litter

Taking advantage of opportunistically collected historical occurrence data to detect responses to climate change: The case of temperature and Iberian dung beetles. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2023 A novel approach for taking advantage of historical occurrence data to detect adaptive responses to climate change is presented. Our findings suggest that approximately half of the Iberian dung beetle species may experience negative effects from temperature increases and that the spatial response will be the most frequent one.

The effect of pioneer carrion beetles on the emission of volatile organic compounds and carrion insect community assembly. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2023 We examined the effect of an early colonist, Necrophila japonica (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae), on the volatile organic compound emissions from carcasses and the effect of volatile organic compounds on carrion insect community assembly. We showed that carcasses fed on by Ne.

Functional and Taxonomic Structuring of Ground-Dwelling Spider Communities Under the Combined Effects of the Environment and Metal Contamination. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThrough a field study along a metal contamination gradient, we propose a combined application of taxonomic and functional approaches to study the impacts of contamination on polyphagous predators, spiders. We have demonstrated a significant impact of metal contamination on spider communities, although it operates among a set of variables (e.g ...
