Urban peatlands can harbour diverse insect communities but depend on appropriate habitat management

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Urban peatlands can support high insect diversity, including endangered species and peat bog specialists. Flower diversity boosts endangered species, while succession cover reduces overall insect richness—but bog condition and urbanization showed no major effects.

Predicting habitat suitability of selected Meloidae species and future potential refugia: A case study from inner Western Anatolia

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Consensus habitat‐suitability maps identify current hotspots of species richness across the Inner Western Anatolian mountain systems. Late‐century projections (2081–2100) under SSP2‐4.5 and SSP5‐8.5 show range shifts and changing richness patterns, intensifying at higher elevations.

The effects of Bacillus thuringiensis var. israelensis (Bti) on tropical stream food webs vary between two consecutive dry seasons

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Bti application altered tropical stream food‐web structure through changes in macroinvertebrate functional feeding groups. Collector‐filterers and predators showed context‐dependent responses, with clearer direct and indirect effects detected in 2016, the year with higher rainfall.

Dragonfly functional connectivity responses are dynamic relative to drought

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
During drought, dragonfly species richness decreases. Yet, dragonfly assemblages show a higher propensity for dispersal during drought. Dispersal pathways vary among the wet and dry periods, and relative to temporal changes in the landscape. While some dragonfly species can traverse plantation compartments, conservation corridors facilitate functional ...

Feeding ecology of an Amazonian electric knifefish under altered flood‐pulse dynamics caused by hydroelectric damming

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract This study evaluated the effects of the controlled flood pulse on diet composition, trophic niche breadth and feeding intensity of Archolaemus janeae, an electric knifefish species with a restricted distribution in the Amazon Basin. Monthly samples were collected from December 2020 to November 2021 in the Volta Grande stretch of the Xingu ...
