Social media highlights the overlooked impact of cats on arthropods

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
The impact of domestic cats on vertebrate biodiversity is unequivocal; however, we still know little about their effects on arthropods. By analysing over 17,000 photos and videos from social media platforms (iStock and TikTok), we documented 550 predation events of cats on arthropods.

Arthropod niche differentiation linked to grazing‐induced sward islets in intensively managed agricultural pasture

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
In a given number of samples, grassland sward islets contain more species of arthropods than the surrounding sward. When corrected for abundance, there is no difference in species richness, suggesting that the effect of islets might purely be to concentrate arthropods. The community structure differences indicated by non‐metric multidimensional scaling

Effect of bulb type on moth trap catch and composition in UK gardens

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
We analyse 10 years of records Garden Moth Scheme (GMS) to estimate the effect of bulb and trap type on the number of moths caught by moth traps. We find that brighter, higher wattage bulbs collect the most moths. Heath traps catch fewer moths than Robinson or Skinner‐stye traps.

Year‐round pollinator visitation of ornamental plants in Mediterranean urban parks

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Pollinators visiting ornamental plants in urban parks remained diverse throughout the year. They were represented by wild bees (42%), honeybees (37%), flies (18%), butterflies (2%) and beetles (1%). Both native and non‐native plants attracted pollinators.

Taxonomic, phylogenetic and functional diversity patterns of Saturniidae moth communities along a tropical forest recovery gradient in Ecuador

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Diverse Saturniidae moth communities are found in naturally recovering tropical forests in Ecuador. Community composition showed a gradual turnover with strongest differences between old‐growth forest and active agriculture, but only weak differences in taxonomic, phylogenetic and functional diversity. While our results suggest that Saturniidae are not

Priority areas for arthropod conservation in the Iberian Peninsula and Balearic Islands: Insights from a multi‐taxon distributional database

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Using over 416,000 occurrence records from 13 arthropod groups (6233 arthropod species), we mapped large‐scale richness patterns and identified biodiversity hotspots across the Iberian Peninsula and Balearic Islands. Hotspot congruence among arthropod groups was low, underscoring the importance of integrative, multi‐taxon approaches for conservation ...

Requirement of group I lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase for turnover of chitinous cuticle during moulting in two forest pest beetles, Monochamus alternatus and Psacothea hilaris

Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
Group I LPMO15‐1 cDNAs from two economically important forest insect pests, M. alternatus and P. hilaris, were cloned. MaLPMO15‐1 and PhLPMO15‐1 show a similar pattern of expression during late stages of development. RNAi for LPMO15‐1 causes failure of adult eclosion in both M. alternatus and P. hilaris.

Genome‐wide and gene‐specific DNA methylation across developmental stages in Pogonomyrmex californicus: A socially polymorphic ant

Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
Comparison between developmental stages (larvae, pupae, worker) in Pogonomyrmex californicus revealed significant stage‐specific differences in Gene Body Methylated frequencies. Methylation sites were highly correlated between WGBS and ONT in P. californicus Genome‐wide methylation was low (~3%) and highly clustered within gene bodies (GBM), especially
