Understanding antipredator strategies of insects: Human presence and escape behaviour in Odonata

open access: yesEcological Entomology, EarlyView.
We tested urbanisation effects, along with a range of life‐history, environmental and contextual traits, on tolerance towards humans—measured by flight initiation distance—in 14 Odonata (dragonflies and damselflies) Urbanisation had a generally weak effect on Odonata escape behaviour; however, odonates delayed their escape at sites with high human ...

Is Paw Preference in Rats Influenced by Environmental Novelty?

open access: yesEthology, EarlyView.
This study aimed to investigate the effect of environmental novelty during adolescence and adulthood on the paw preference in rats. Therefore, rats experienced a regular enrichment change and were repeatedly tested for their paw preference. We found that a regular enrichment change did not alter their behavioural lateralisation.

Scientists' warning on the need for greater inclusion of dragonflies in global conservation

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Stressors to dragonflies are multiple, and in many cases interactive. Specialist species are at risk, while generalists can benefit from some human activities. Dragonflies are sentinels for conservation, being promising surrogates for other taxa while also being appealing to citizen science initiatives.
