Habitat and land‐use intensity shape moth community structure across temperate forest and grassland
Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.This study reveals how land‐use intensity, plant diversity, weather and artificial light interact to shape moth diversity across forests and grasslands. Using 300 plots across Germany, we highlight habitat‐specific responses and beta‐diversity patterns, providing novel cross‐habitat insights at an unprecedented spatial scale for temperate nocturnal ...

Complex effects of climatic variation on bumblebee queen fitness
Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.A dearth of data on the health of wild‐insect populations hinders efforts to fully grasp the extent of historical population declines or unravel the mechanisms driving these effects. We help fill this data deficit by testing how climatic variation affects health, reproduction, size and survival in bumblebees—important insect pollinators.

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.The authors unravel how environmental conditions influence sex determination and resource allocation in a haplodiploid bee species. Using high‐resolution field data, they show that individual sex allocation shifts with environmental conditions, while population sex ratio and individual resource allocation remain stable, highlighting the complexity of ...

Temperature influences pollinators' choice of floral partners independently of community composition
Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.This paper presents novel research that empirically demonstrates a direct link between temperature and plant–pollinator interaction patterns, independently of changes to community composition in either guild. We find that even without changes to community composition, pollinators including bumblebees exhibit different interactions across temperatures ...

Journal of Applied Ecology, EarlyView.A framework for the support of pollinators in urban areas is developed here, based on five pillars: nesting, flower resources, artificial support, management and society acceptance, with additional key elements from science and society. Society should incorporate strategies for pollinators as in this framework by means of co‐planning with stakeholders,

Journal of Applied Ecology, EarlyView.This study recorded relatively low incidences of crop raiding by fruit bats and highlights the economic benefits of biocontrol by insectivorous bats and birds, which outweighed the yield losses by fruit bats, birds and monkeys. Vertebrate exclusion to prevent crop damage limits access and biocontrol benefits provided by bats and birds.
