Island invertebrate responses to single‐ and multi‐species invasive rodent eradications

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Eradications of rodents on islands are a powerful tool for conservation, but rarely are the responses of invertebrates quantified post‐eradication, despite being the preferred prey of mice. Here we analyzed pre‐ and post‐eradication invertebrate survey results for two sub‐Antarctic islands where mice had recently been eradicated; Antipodes Island where

Evolution of wing scales in Diptera documented by fossils

Zoological Letters
Among the insects with wings clad in scales, the butterflies are the best known and those showing greatest variety of scale types. In the Diptera, some families or particular genera of two large groups are known to bear scales on wings, i.e., mosquitoes (

Forest thinning creates short‐term roosting opportunities for northern long‐eared bats in central hardwood forests

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Reconciling timber production with the habitat requirements of forest‐dependent wildlife is a challenge for biodiversity conservation. In managed Central Hardwood Forests of the United States, female northern long‐eared bats (Myotis septentrionalis) selected tree roosts near ridgetops and management features, including recently created regeneration ...

Leveraging obligate mutualism to resolve the rare species modeling paradox

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Species distribution models (SDMs) have emerged as vital tools for devising biodiversity conservation planning, yet modeling rare, data‐deficient species remains a significant challenge. To address this “rare species modelling paradox,” we propose a novel approach which posits that under the condition of significant niche overlap between the obligate ...

Metabarcoding of Pollen Carried by Syrphids Reveals Novel Plant–Pollinator Interactions in a Protected Natural Area and Agricultural Sites

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Using DNA metabarcoding, this study investigates pollen transported by syrphids (Syrphidae) in the Dolomiti Bellunesi National Park and agricultural sites in Northern Italy. The analysis reveals a high diversity of visited plant taxa, including previously undocumented plant–pollinator interactions.

Influence of Trap Colour on the Capture of Codling Moth (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae), Honeybees, and Non-target Flies [PDF]

Studies were conducted to evaluate the influence of trap colour on the captures of honeybees, Apis mellifera L., codling moth, Cydia pomonella L., and non target muscoid flies in sticky delta traps. Traps varied widely in their spectral reflectance.
