Sheep and cattle grazing regimes differentially affect ground beetle and ant communities in Mediterranean cork oak woodlands

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Sheep and cattle grazing significantly shape ant and ground beetle species composition in Mediterranean cork oak woodlands, promoting higher diversity by increasing habitat heterogeneity. Ground beetles and ants reflect changes in grazing regimes, with sheep‐grazed areas showing the highest diversity, highlighting their utility in ecosystem monitoring.

Against the odds: Nesting specialization and foraging ecology provide insights into climate change responses in a mountain bee

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
A unique high‐elevation Exoneura bee defies typical elevation‐driven declines in bee activity, nesting exclusively in dead branches of snow gums near the alpine tree line. Nesting and foraging are tightly linked to snow gum presence, with most activity occurring within 30 m of these trees. Biophysical modelling indicates the bee's thermally constrained

Non‐crop habitats and cover crops as potential ecological corridors and stepping stones for autumnal migrating hoverflies

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Mass migration of hoverflies was observed near Prague city in a highly agricultural landscape, representing only the second record of hoverfly migration in the Czech Republic. This rare observation was likely driven by the need to rest, shelter and replenish energy, although most flowers had already finished blooming.

Demostración de un modelo matemático para el endulzamiento óptimo del néctar de frutas con sacarosa

Esta investigación se realizó con el objetivo general de demostrar la verosimilitud del modelo matemático propuesto en la hipótesis, que relaciona las variables, masa de sacarosa que se agrega al néctar y dulzor del néctar, para determinar el ...

Canadian boreal restored mining sites sustain diverse pollinator communities, including species of conservation concern

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Revegetated mine tailing storage facilities support pollinator abundance, diversity, richness and evenness comparable to recently logged boreal forest sites. Agronomic and spontaneous revegetation strategies host similar pollinator and Bombus community structures, indicating multiple rehabilitation approaches can effectively restore pollinator habitat.

Distinctive gene expression in the reduced first thoracic legs of a nymphalid butterfly

Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
Transcriptome analysis reveals that the small non‐walking front legs of a butterfly have distinct gene expression to the four walking legs. Reduced front legs express a gene with putative mechanosensory roles, a blue‐sensitive opsin and two homeobox genes.
