Surviving in a Warming and Fragmented World: Long‐Term Population Dynamics of the Lizard Gonatodes humeralis

open access: yesAustral Ecology, Volume 50, Issue 10, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Climate change presents significant challenges to species survival; however, the long‐term effects on tropical lizard populations remain poorly understood. Previous studies have predicted contrasting outcomes, with some forecasting a high risk of extinction due to rising temperatures, while others suggest greater resilience in tropical ...

Predictions of Future Insect Distributions Under Climate Change

open access: yesDiversity and Distributions, Volume 31, Issue 10, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Climate change has severe consequences for insects worldwide, many of which play key ecological roles. Despite a large literature predicting insect distribution changes over future climate change, a synthesis of predictions of insect responses to climate change in the literature is still lacking. Location Global.

Foraging signals in the Neotropical termite Nasutitermes corniger: The role of castes and intercolonial perception

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 173, Issue 10, Page 1112-1122, October 2025.
We analyzed the role of foraging signals in an important neotropical nasute termite species, including the effect of various gland and caste origins of foraging signals, the response of groups with distinct caste compositions, and intercolonial perception of these signals.

Ants do not prey upon an extrafloral‐nectar‐feeding predatory mite

open access: yesEcological Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 5, Page 876-885, October 2025.
The predatory mite Amblyseius herbicolus is an important natural enemy of various crop pests and occurs in agroforestry coffee systems, where it feeds on the extrafloral nectar of Inga trees. Because extrafloral nectaries are often vigorously defended by ants, we tested whether ants would attack and kill the mites near nectaries.
