Evaluating the SPRING pollinator monitoring methods in Flanders (Belgium)

open access: yesEcological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 6, Issue 4, October–December 2025.
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 ...

Spatiotemporal Prediction of Ideal Butterfly Habitats in Kun‐Ming's Urban Green Areas: Enabled by Maxent and ArcGIS

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.
Using Maxent and ArcGIS with 22 SPSS–selected environmental parameters, this study analysed current butterfly distributions in Kunming's urban green spaces, predicted changes under three climate scenarios (1970–2000, 2030s, 2050s) and generated ecological sensitivity data.

Insect visitation patterns in diploid Centaurea aspera and its related allotetraploid and triploid hybrids: Similar rates but distinct assemblages

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, Volume 112, Issue 9, September 2025.
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.

Patterns of richness in a long‐term citizen science butterfly dataset from Cuyahoga Valley National Park

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2025.
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 ...

Disentangling biotic and abiotic factors influencing host–parasitoid interactions of butterflies, tachinid flies, and nematodes

open access: yesEcological Research, Volume 40, Issue 5, September 2025.
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.
