Taxonomic and functional diversity of urban bees of the world

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Bees play a pivotal role in terrestrial environments. Urbanization can affect these organisms and the ecosystem services they provide. However, knowledge of the global diversity of urban bees is limited. Thus, we summarized data on urban bee species identities and occurrences; compared distributions of all bees with those found in urban ...

Subspecies taxonomy reflects social and geographic patterns of taxonomic effort in tetrapods

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Subspecies have been used in conservation biology to account for intraspecific patterns in genetic diversity, which is crucial to long‐term population viability. Although over 3200 subspecies are currently assessed by the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List, their biological relevance remains controversial.

Cryptic diversity highlights the challenge of Linnean and Wallacean shortfalls and the integral role of taxonomy in biodiversity conservation

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Reliable and current taxonomic data are essential to conservation planning and prioritization. The use of genetic and genomic tools has revealed significant cryptic diversity across taxa and ecosystems, suggesting we are underestimating threatened biodiversity and using outdated species distributions.

Natural Parasitism of Nezara viridula (Linnaeus) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) by Trichopoda pictipennis Bigot (Diptera: Tachinidae) in an Organic Strawberry Field in Germany

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Natural parasitism of the invasive southern green stinkbug was recorded in an organic strawberry cropping system in southwestern Germany. The tachinid fly Trichopoda pictipennis shows successful establishment and field activity, indicating ongoing range expansion.

Functional composition and dominance drive seed removal in ant assemblages of Atlantic Forest fragments

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Landscape structure did not affect overall ant species richness, but forest cover influenced the abundance of some functional components of ant assemblages across Atlantic Forest fragments. Seed removal declined with increasing seed size and was positively associated with community dominance but negatively associated with community‐weighted mean ...
