Plant–arthropod associations in custard apples, genus Annona: A global perspective

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 173, Issue 7, Page 651-660, July 2025.
Annona species, commonly known as custard apples, engage with a wide range of arthropods, including both herbivores and pollinators, which shape their ecology. These plants produce secondary metabolites that may serve as natural defenses against pests.

Tree hollow parameters and their effects on saproxylic arthropod diversity: A multi‐taxon approach

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 18, Issue 4, Page 580-592, July 2025.
Tree hollows are keystone structures for biodiversity in forests and support saproxylic arthropods but are declining in central Europe due to intensive forest management, threatening these invertebrate communities. Research using DNA metabarcoding examined non‐beetle arthropods in 40 beech tree hollows, exploring their habitat requirements in southern ...
