We measured the phototactic responses of insects to light at night using LED traps emitting light at four narrowband wavelengths of three intensity levels of relatively equal photon emission. Our data show an interaction between insect order and narrowband spectra, with marked differences in attraction between Lepidoptera and Diptera.

Variation in movement: Multiple locomotor gaits in neotropical harvestmen [PDF]
Navigation of complex environments is crucial for animals to find food, mates and/or shelter and to escape enemies. In order to move successfully in variable conditions, many animals have evolved the ability to switch between several patterns of ...

ABSTRACT Evolutionary transitions to carnivory represent profound shifts in feeding mode that are often accompanied by widespread changes in organismal function, behaviour and ecology. Such transitions have evolved numerous times among animals, and predator–prey interactions have been major drivers of animal evolution.

A globally influential area‐condition metric is a poor proxy for invertebrate biodiversity
Our results highlight the need to incorporate factors beyond habitat type and condition into site evaluations, and to complement metric use with species‐based surveys. Abstract There is increasing demand for standardised, easy‐to‐use metrics to assess progress towards achieving biodiversity targets and the effectiveness of ecological compensation ...

Biodiversity in mountain soils above the treeline
ABSTRACT Biological diversity in mountain ecosystems has been increasingly studied over the last decade. This is also the case for mountain soils, but no study to date has provided an overall synthesis of the current state of knowledge. Here we fill this gap with a first global analysis of published research on cryptogams, microorganisms, and fauna in ...
