The pace and shape of ant ageing
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Ants have been proposed as good models to study ageing and the effects of extrinsic mortality because of their long lifespans and plasticity of ageing within species. We discuss how age‐dependent extrinsic mortality might influence queen lifespan, and how the effect of age‐independent extrinsic mortality needs further study, accounting for ...

Changes in community composition and functional diversity of European bats under climate change
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Climate change is predicted to drive geographical range shifts that will result in changes in species diversity and functional composition and have potential repercussions for ecosystem functioning. However, the effect of these changes on species composition and functional diversity (FD) remains unclear, especially for mammals, specifically ...

Understanding antipredator strategies of insects: Human presence and escape behaviour in Odonata
Ecological Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 4, Page 682-692, August 2025.We tested urbanisation effects, along with a range of life‐history, environmental and contextual traits, on tolerance towards humans—measured by flight initiation distance—in 14 Odonata (dragonflies and damselflies) Urbanisation had a generally weak effect on Odonata escape behaviour; however, odonates delayed their escape at sites with high human ...

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.In 2001, 80 larvae of Leucorrhinia dubia were translocated from degraded raised bog in Slovakia to the newly created peatbog pools in Czechia, and the population has been regularly monitored. Based on the capture‐mark‐recapture and exuviae surveys in 2015 and 2024, the population size is stable, comprising ca.
