Fish predation cues induce drifting and emergence in an experimental stream mesocosm system
Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 70, Issue S2, Page S364-S376, December 2025.Abstract Predator–prey interactions are important drivers of adaptation in aquatic communities, shaping the behavior of invertebrates with cascading effects on community dynamics. Behavioral responses, such as moving with the downstream current (drift) or altering the timing of emergence, are strategies that reduce the risk of predator encounters ...

Journal of Fish Biology, Volume 107, Issue 6, Page 1995-2004, December 2025.Abstract Understanding the feeding habits of predatory fish is essential for unravelling food web structures and implementing conservation strategies in riverine ecosystems. However, conventional lethal stomach content analysis methods are not necessarily appropriate for long‐term dietary studies, particularly for threatened species, as they require ...

Predator Size Structure Fails to Alter Nonconsumptive Effects in Streams
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 11, November 2025.Stonefly predators caused pervasive nonconsumptive effects on benthic invertebrates in a headwater stream. These effects did not depend on stonefly size structure. Predator biomass may be the key determinant of stonefly induced nonconsumptive effects in streams.

occumb: An R package for site occupancy modeling of eDNA metabarcoding data
Population Ecology, Volume 67, Issue 4, Page 285-297, October 2025.This study introduces a new R package, occumb, for the convenient application of site occupancy modeling using environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding data. We outline a data analysis workflow, including data setup, model fitting, model assessment, and comparison of potential study settings based on model predictions, all of which can be performed using

The pace and shape of ant ageing
Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 5, Page 2071-2083, October 2025.ABSTRACT Ants have been proposed as good models to study ageing and the effects of extrinsic mortality because of their long lifespans and plasticity of ageing within species. We discuss how age‐dependent extrinsic mortality might influence queen lifespan, and how the effect of age‐independent extrinsic mortality needs further study, accounting for ...

Predictions of Future Insect Distributions Under Climate Change
Diversity and Distributions, Volume 31, Issue 10, October 2025.ABSTRACT Aim Climate change has severe consequences for insects worldwide, many of which play key ecological roles. Despite a large literature predicting insect distribution changes over future climate change, a synthesis of predictions of insect responses to climate change in the literature is still lacking. Location Global.

Are Findings of Key Insect Metrics Generalizable Across Different Taxa in Malaise Trap Samples?
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 8, August 2025.Malaise traps are increasingly used for global insect monitoring. However, it remains unclear whether patterns in total insect biomass from these traps reflect only changes in dominant taxa, or whether they reflect changes in other key community metrics and taxonomic groups.

Evolutionary implications of a deep‐time perspective on insect pollination
Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 4, Page 1452-1466, August 2025.ABSTRACT Plant pollination by insects represents one of the most transformative and iconic ecological relationships in the natural world. Despite tens of thousands of papers, as well as numerous books, on pollination biology published over the past 200 years, most studies focused on the fossil record of pollinating insects have only been published in ...

Freshwater Biology, Volume 70, Issue 7, July 2025.ABSTRACT Aquatic insects are an abundant, yet declining, taxonomically heterogeneous group with special importance in both aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. Accurate estimations of insect biomass during their aquatic life stages are essential to advance our fundamental knowledge about insects, their roles in ecosystems, and their vulnerability to ...
