Evaluating the SPRING pollinator monitoring methods in Flanders (Belgium)
This study evaluated six methods for monitoring wild bees and hoverflies in Flanders, showing that pan traps were most effective for bees, while combining pan traps and transect walks best captured hoverfly diversity. Trap height, UV reflectance and seasonal variation strongly influenced sampling outcomes, highlighting the need for protocol refinement ...

Abstract Premise Polyploidy is key to plant evolution by contributing to speciation, diversification, and adaptability. However, the minority cytotype exclusion effect can limit the persistence of polyploids, which can be mitigated by reproductive barriers such as distinct insect visitation between cytotypes. In eastern Spain, the diploid C.

Abstract Insect populations are experiencing ongoing declines in abundance and diversity, but their dynamics are often complex and trends are difficult to identify. Butterflies are an important, convenient, and useful insect group to monitor. They are a well‐recorded group of insects and play important ecological roles as both pollinators and ...

The defensive function of mutualistic ants for the Reverdin's Blue butterfly against two groups of parasitoids (tachinid flies and mermithid nematodes) differs among ant species, and this is affected by the number of precipitation days in the larval period of the butterfly.
