Not all crickets are equal: selective shrike predation highlights the conservation value of diverse arthropod communities to grassland birds

Ibis, EarlyView.
Understanding dietary preferences and prey selection is pivotal for interpreting the ecology and conservation needs of threatened species. We investigated the diet composition and prey selection of the Red‐backed Shrike Lanius collurio in a montane grassland of the central Italian Apennines, with special regard to sex‐related differences and the ...

Regenerative wheat management: The relative effects of farm practices on the biodiversity of invertebrates

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Wheat in North America harbours a diverse insect community (565 morphospecies were identified in this study), and pests represented <7% of specimens collected. Regenerative wheat management promoted insect diversity without increasing pest populations.

Population genetic analysis of the endangered Mottled Duskywing butterfly (Erynnis martialis) informs species reintroduction

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Mottled Duskywing (Erynnis martialis) populations had moderate levels of genetic diversity at microsatellites with expected heterozygosity ranging from 0.43 to 0.58, and populations more than 10 km apart were differentiated from one another. Weak patterns of isolation by distance and low effective population sizes suggest that all but the largest ...

Seasonal shifts in network structure and species roles in a tropical island plant–flower visitor community Cambios estacionales en la estructura de la red de interacciones entre plantas y visitantes florales y en los roles de las especies en una comunidad insular tropical

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Constant visitation rates across the flowering season masked major shifts in plant and flower visitor interaction structure, specialization, species roles and trait‐driven patterns shaping interaction intensity. Plants and flower visitors changed ecological roles over time, with native flower visitors playing key roles in maintaining network cohesion ...

Environmental and seasonal filtering of taxonomic, functional and phylogenetic diversity patterns of mountain butterflies in a prime butterfly area, Greece

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Forest clearings support butterfly communities comparable to mountainous grasslands in alpha‐diversity and conservation value, yet remain compositionally distinct. Generalized linear models (GLMs) showed three key habitat predictors shaping multifaceted diversity and community composition: herb/grass height, flowerhead abundance and elevation.
