Meta‐analysis on effects of Bt‐maize on nontarget invertebrates – Data transportability across continents

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 1, Page 365-376, January 2026.
Maize varieties producing insecticidal proteins from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) have become an important component of integrated pest management worldwide. For regulatory approval of such plants, risks to the environment need to be assessed. To make such assessments less expensive and time‐consuming, conclusions drawn from data collected in one region

Cicada as a food for mammals: a global review and implications for mammal behaviour and populations

Wildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, January 2026.
Cicadas (Hemiptera: Cicadidae) are among the most important insect prey for many vertebrate predators, including birds and mammals, owing to their large size and high nutritional value. Although the ecological roles of cicadas as prey for birds have been well documented, the interactions between mammals and cicadas are relatively unknown.

Life history induces markedly divergent insect responses to habitat loss

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 1, Page 54-64, January 2026.
This study pioneers the use of deep learning to rapidly assess over 22,000 Amazonian insects, revealing life history‐dependent winners and losers from forest loss. It shows that terrestrial insects decline while aquatic insects thrive, with body size influencing dispersal, offering key insights for biodiversity conservation in tropical fragmented ...

Evaluation of BugBox, a software platform for AI‐assisted bioinventories of arthropods

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 1, Page 192-203, January 2026.
The BugBox artificial intelligence platform performed reliably on coarse biodiversity analysis of agrobiont arthropods, even while its models were still being developed and trained. This gives scientists the ability to conduct large‐scale bioinventories rapidly, to inform growers and policymakers on environmental issues in a timely fashion.

Multi‐species productive grasslands offer advantages over permanent grasslands for arthropod conservation, but preserving semi‐natural grasslands remains essential

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 1, January 2026.
SNGs remain irreplaceable for arthropod conservation, supporting the highest gamma diversity and providing habitat for species sensitive to high LUI. They should be regarded as the cornerstone of arthropod conservation in agricultural landscapes. MSPGs represent an improved alternative to PGs, particularly by enhancing floral resources, although their ...

Productivity‐dependent effects of adapted mowing regimes on arthropod communities in roadside grasslands

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 1, January 2026.
Adjusted mowing dates and, in productive grasslands, an increased mowing frequency may benefit grassland arthropod communities under current environmental conditions. Abstract Arthropod diversity is rapidly declining in semi‐natural grasslands. Among the driving factors are nitrogen deposition and climate change, which typically increase vegetation ...

Habitat‐Dependent Effects of Canopy Cover on Insect Predation in a Tropical Dry Forest Landscape

Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 1, January 2026.
Our results reveal that arthropods, particularly chewing arthropods, were the dominant predators, and their activity was strongly influenced by both habitat type and canopy cover. Predation probability increased with canopy cover in forest plots but decreased in silvo‐pastures, highlighting an important interaction between vegetation structure and ...

Brooding Phylogenomics: Target‐Capture Probe Sets for the Analysis of Ultraconserved Elements in the Peracarida

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Sequencing via target capture has been used to great effect in phylogenetic studies of organisms such as insects, arachnids and vertebrates. However, other taxa have received limited genomic attention despite their diversity and the intensity of research on such groups. Here, we describe generalised probe sets targeting ultraconserved elements
