Social media highlights the overlooked impact of cats on arthropods
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.

Despite severe habitat loss, insect species richness, seasonal fluctuations in richness and temporal β‐diversity did not differ significantly among forests adjacent to the mudflow and reference sites. We found higher wet‐season species richness for ants, bees, butterflies and dung beetles, while termites showed no seasonal change; β‐diversity was ...
