Millipedes (Diplopoda) of the Aggtelek National Park, Northeast Hungary [PDF]

open access: yesOpuscula Zoologica Instituti Zoosystematici et Oecologici Universitatis Budapestinensis, 2009
Twenty-two species of millipedes (Diplopoda) were recorded during a survey of the Aggtelek National Park in north-eastern Hungary, consisting of one-fifth of the total Hungarian millipede fauna. The relatively low representation may be due to the general

Multi‐angle, cross‐domain fusion strategy enhances automated insect identification and hierarchical categorization: a case study on assassin bugs (Hemiptera: Reduviidae)

open access: yesCladistics, EarlyView.
Abstract Automated insect identification systems hold significant value for biodiversity monitoring, pest management, citizen science initiatives and systematic studies, particularly in an era of declining expertise in insect taxonomy. However, current deep learning approaches often rely on standardized specimen photos from limited‐angles and ...

Anisotropic community turn‐over at habitat edges informs on assembly drivers: simulation and empirical test on soil macrofauna

open access: yesOikos, Volume 2026, Issue 5, May 2026.
Biodiversity dynamics in heterogeneous landscapes is the result of a complex interplay between movement processes of organisms within and between habitat patches, and niche filtering processes due to spatially varying environmental conditions. Disentangling the relative influences of these different processes on community assembly and dynamics is a ...

From species lists to interactions: Network structure, not richness, guides seed dispersal management in human‐modified islands

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 5, May 2026.
Our findings show that management strategies can create fundamentally different seed dispersal regimes, even under similar environmental conditions. Anthropogenic diversification reshapes network organisation into distinct structural configurations, rather than consistently enhancing overall cohesion.

Owners’ Perceptions Do Not Match Actual Ground-Dwelling Invertebrate Diversity in Their Gardens

open access: yesDiversity, 2021
Urban gardens are important for human well-being, biodiversity and other ecosystem functions. Biodiversity-promoting initiatives would benefit from their owners being aware of the state of biodiversity in their gardens. We examined whether garden owners’
