Spreading of recently introduced North American sand dropseed (Sporobolus cryptandrus) threatens European native dry grassland arthropods

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
The effects of sand dropseed (Sporobolus cryptandrus) invasion on arthropods depended on its density and varied between habitat types and arthropod groups. Vegetation‐dwelling, primarily herbivorous orthopterans and true bugs were most sensitive to invasion. Sand dropseed negatively affected the arthropod species of high natural value.

Using citizen science as a research prioritization tool to detect co‐occurrences of the invasive species Harmonia axyridis

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
We studied co‐occurrences and potential novel interactions between the invasive ladybird Harmonia axyridis and local biota (plants, arthropods and fungi) across Argentina using citizen science records. We detected co‐occurrences (mainly Asteracea and Aphididae) and previously unreported interactions (predation, parasitism, interspecific mating and ...

A view on the historic and contemporary acridid fauna (Orthoptera: Caelifera: Acrididae) of Iran-A call for conservation efforts

Journal of Crop Protection, 2019
The decline of biodiversity, specifically of insects is one of the major topics in conservation biology. In several countries of Europe, recent studies have shown a severe decline in species number and biomass of insects. In most countries of much higher

Social media highlights the overlooked impact of cats on arthropods

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
The impact of domestic cats on vertebrate biodiversity is unequivocal; however, we still know little about their effects on arthropods. By analysing over 17,000 photos and videos from social media platforms (iStock and TikTok), we documented 550 predation events of cats on arthropods.

Anatomical and Behavioral Aspects of Killing and Feeding by the Least Weasel, Mustela nivalis L. [PDF]

, 1972
The least weasel (Mustela nivalis) is a remarkably well adapted predator of mice and other small animals. Each kill is rather stereotyped, in that the weasel grabs the prey by the nape of the neck and bites through the base of the skull and/or throat ...

Floral resource strips enhance parasitoid abundance and diversity in apple orchards and promote agroecological advances in a South African biosphere reserve

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Floral resource strips within apple orchards increased parasitoid abundance and influenced community composition, enhancing local biodiversity in the Kogelberg Biosphere Reserve's transition zone. Ruderal and natural fynbos habitats supported higher parasitoid richness and abundance, emphasising the importance of conserving semi‐natural habitats ...

Structural and developmental insights into the muscles involved in lionfish (Pterois spp.) vocalisations

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Vocal signalling is an important mode of communication in fishes. The two species of lionfish in the Pterois complex, the Indo‐Pacific lionfish (Pterois volitans) and the red lionfish (Pterois miles), are both known to produce different types of sounds with sonic muscles attached to the swimbladder.
