Mammalian herbivory indirectly shapes savanna arthropod communities but only at very low or high levels

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study investigates how large mammalian herbivores shape arthropod communities in African savannas, using a broad gradient of herbivory types and intensities to assess these effects under real‐world, non‐experimental conditions. Abstract Savanna ecosystems support unique biodiversity and provide livelihoods for millions of people.

Exploring marking methods for the predatory hoverfly Sphaerophoria rueppellii (Diptera: Syrphidae)

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
As important pollinators and predators of aphids, hoverflies play an important role in ecosystems. This study focuses on identifying the best marking technique for the model species Sphaerophoria rueppellii that can be used to track hoverfly feeding and oviposition sites, evaluating three methods: rubidium (RbCl), fluorescein, and fluorescent dusts ...

Multilocus sequence typing of the invasive pest Halyomorpha halys (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) and associated endosymbiont reveals unexplored diversity

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
A multilocus sequence typing approach is proposed to explore Halymorpha halys genetic diversity, taking into consideration both insect nuclear markers and markers from the gut symbiont “Candidatus Pantoa carbekii.” Increased information was revealed regarding the number of distinct holobiont haplotypes in native and invasive populations of the pest ...
