Niche‐tracking as a collecting method: Habitat‐targeted search strategies for taxon‐focused botany

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Biodiversity science depends on more than collecting plants—it depends on how we search for them. Although GPS and digital maps have transformed fieldwork, they can also encourage repeated visits to the same easy‐to‐access sites, leaving other habitats and populations unknown to science.

How do rhizosphere bacteria interact with their environment at the microhabitat scale? [PDF]

, 2007
The rhizosphere supports greater bacterial densities than root-free soil. Rhizosphere bacteria (RB) can affect plant health and nutrition however, attempts to manipulate introduced and/or indigenous communities to benefit plants are unreliable.

Take flight: predation risk induces wing polyphenism and dispersal in the aphid Myzus persicae

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Predator risk above a critical density induces winged morphs in Myzus persicae, promoting dispersal and reducing predation compared with wingless aphids. This density‐dependent phenotypic plasticity enhances survival but may compromise biological control by facilitating aphid dispersal.

Domestic composters as winter reservoirs for the invasive pest Drosophila suzukii in temperate climates

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Domestic composters enable year‐round emergence of Drosophila suzukii, buffering winter temperatures and supporting larval development, potentially enhancing overwintering survival and early‐season crop reinfestation. Abstract BACKGROUND Drosophila suzukii is an invasive pest established worldwide, including in temperate regions with harsh winters.

Prevalence and drivers of ectoparasite abundance on Norway rats (Rattus norvegicus) in New York City residential complexes

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Norway rat ectoparasite burden varied by residential microhabitat, host traits, and trap type, showing that urban rodent management should address both rat burden and ectoparasite persistence in residential buildings. Abstract BACKGROUND Norway rats, Rattus norvegicus (Berkenhout), can carry ectoparasites of public health importance.

Social media as a new tool for studying the composition and spatial distribution of stored‐product arthropods in households

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Social media records highlight diverse household stored‐product arthropods and reveal distinct associations of major pest groups with different room types and specific substrates. Abstract BACKGROUND Stored‐product pests (SPPs) are well studied in food storage and processing facilities, but their occurrence in households remains poorly known.

Dispersal and aggregation patterns of Triozoida limbata (Enderlein, 1918) adults in guava orchards with multiple cultivars: implications for integrated pest management

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Adults of Triozoida limbata exhibit aggregated distribution patterns across different guava cultivars. Sampling with visual inspections and yellow sticky traps revealed high clustering, supporting the development of targeted integrated pest management strategies.

Microhabitat structure modulates seed fate outcomes through differential effects on native and exotic rodent interactions in an endangered palm species

Microhabitat structure plays a critical role in rodent behavior and seed resource use, influencing plant population dynamics through shifts between positive and negative interaction outcomes.

Classification of tree species and standing dead trees in Boreal forests using UAV‐based RGB, multispectral, and LiDAR point clouds

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
We evaluated single‐ and multi‐sensor UAV approaches for classifying tree species and standing dead trees in boreal forests, focusing on key biodiversity indicators such as European aspen. Using spectral and structural features extracted from RGB, multispectral (MSP), and LiDAR point clouds for 1,205 field‐measured trees, we compared classification ...

No evidence of colour-based microhabitat choice in a polymorphic marine snail

Microhabitat choice has been proposed as a mechanism contributing to the maintenance of colour polymorphism in marine gastropods, based on observed associations between shell colour and microhabitat in certain species (e.g. Littorina saxatilis).
