Impact of Environmental Microparticles on Insect Olfaction

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Terrestrial insects underpin key ecosystem services, including pollination, herbivory regulation, decomposition, nutrient cycling, and disease control. These functions depend on chemical communication that guides insects to food, mates, hosts, shelters, and oviposition sites while helping them avoid threats.

Tree cover and geographic origin of tree species drive bird functional groups in urban environments

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Urban trees provide habitat and resources for wild species in cities and support biodiversity provision of ecosystem services, among which insect control is particularly relevant. Predators of insects are promoted by the presence of trees and, in turn, may enhance biosecurity of the trees.

Beyond observed diversity: Community completeness negatively affects ecosystem invasibility across scales

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Charles Elton proposed that species‐rich communities are more resistant to invasion, yet a well‐known paradox persists: native diversity suppresses invasion at small scales while correlating positively with non‐native species diversity at broad scales.
