Anticipating where are unknown aquatic insects in Europe to improve biodiversity conservation
Diversity and Distributions, Volume 29, Issue 8, Page 1021-1034, August 2023., 2023 Abstract Aim Understanding biodiversity patterns is crucial for prioritizing future conservation efforts and reducing the current rates of biodiversity loss. However, a large proportion of species remain undescribed (i.e. unknown biodiversity), hindering our ability to conduct this task.

Biological Reviews, Volume 98, Issue 3, Page 942-981, June 2023., 2023 ABSTRACT Acoustic and substrate‐borne vibrations are among the most widely used signalling modalities in animals. Arthropods display a staggering diversity of vibroacoustic organs generating acoustic sound and/or substrate‐borne vibrations, and are fundamental to our broader understanding of the evolution of animal signalling.

Freshwater Biology, Volume 68, Issue 2, Page 325-339, February 2023., 2023 Abstract Worldwide, riparian zones of many intermittent rivers and ephemeral streams (IRES) have been severely degraded. However, compared with perennially flowing waters, there have been few restoration efforts (e.g., revegetation, livestock removal) to halt or reverse this degradation.

Spatial Variations in Aquatic Insect Community Structure in the Winam Gulf of Lake Victoria, Kenya
International Journal of Ecology, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023 Background. Aquatic insect community structure is dynamic due to threats by anthropogenic activities coupled with changing climatic conditions. The insect’s survival is dependent on the substrate, water quality, and environmental effects. The changes in water quality influence their distribution and abundance and are reflected in spatial and temporal ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 12, December 2022., 2022 A small change in salinity (5‰ vs 7‰) cause total turnover of wolf spider species composition. Wolf spider diets do not vary between species. Wolf spider diets differ between sites with or without a thick wrack bed. Abstract Wolf spiders are typically the most common group of arthropod predators on both lake and marine shorelines because of the high ...

Savanna vegetation increase triggers freshwater community shifts
Global Change Biology, Volume 28, Issue 23, Page 7023-7037, December 2022., 2022 Large mammalian herbivores inhabiting savanna landscapes are known to shape adjacent freshwater bodies, which are used by a wide variety of species during reproduction. Following a period of intensified poaching in Comoé National Park, Ivory Coast, we quantified major vegetation increase in small temporary ponds, which resulted in significant ...

Pest Management Science, Volume 78, Issue 7, Page 2729-2745, July 2022., 2022 The risks of Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus nuisance and vector‐borne diseases are rising and their ranges are expanding. The studies identified by this extensive review come together to suggest little potential risk of adverse impact of suppressing or eliminating invasive Aedes spp. on their predators and food webs.
