Trophic rewilding restructure the insect communities according to their functional traits: Insights from a multitaxa study

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 5, May 2026.
Presence of large ungulates increased richness and abundance of some insect taxa. Across taxa, it supported life history traits declining in modern industrialised landscapes. Trophic rewilding thus represents a way to remedy undesirable effects of land use intensification, and to mimic conditions in which a substantial proportion of temperate insect ...
