Determinants of mating success in a lek‐mating species
Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.Abstract Leks are male‐biased aggregations formed for mating, where sperm is the only resource acquired by visiting females. One of the many advantages of leks is the possibility to efficiently assess the quality of potential mates by comparing aggregated individuals of the same sex with one another. When direct mate choice occurs in a lekking species,

Climate‐specific dynamics of fall armyworm on maize: Implications for pest monitoring and management
Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.FAW moth captures were higher in the Sudanese zone than the Guinean zone, peaking during the major rainy season, while the Guinean zone had more captures in the dry season. In the Guinean zone, plant damage correlated with adult moth captures and larval densities, whereas no such correlation was found in the Sudanese zone or at different maize growth ...

Effects of land cover and protected areas on flying insect diversity
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Widespread insect losses are a critical global problem. Mitigating this problem requires identifying the principal drivers across different taxa and determining which insects are covered by protected areas. However, doing so is hindered by missing information on most species owing to extremely high insect diversity and difficulties in ...

Setting goals for pollinator gardens
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract In recent years, declines in animal pollinators have stimulated tremendous interest in pollinator‐friendly gardening. There is a widespread notion that pollinator gardens are beneficial, but the specific capacity of pollinator gardens to improve biodiversity conservation and societal well‐being remains unclear.

Changes in community composition and functional diversity of European bats under climate change
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Climate change is predicted to drive geographical range shifts that will result in changes in species diversity and functional composition and have potential repercussions for ecosystem functioning. However, the effect of these changes on species composition and functional diversity (FD) remains unclear, especially for mammals, specifically ...

Molecular Ecology, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract Malaria is a mosquito‐borne disease caused by protozoans of the genus Plasmodium that affects both humans and wildlife. The fitness consequences of infections by avian malaria are well known in birds, however, little information exists on its impact on mosquitoes.

Cross‐continental variation of herbivore resistance in a global plant invader
Ecography, EarlyView.While successful plant invasions often occur in novel environments, invasive species usually occupy broad niches within their native and introduced ranges. A better understanding of the process of invasion therefore requires a wide sampling of ranges, and a good knowledge of introduction history.
