Plant, Soil and Environment, 2003 Change in the community of epigeal spiders and harvestmen (Araneae, Opiliones) was studied in an experimental apple orchard for six consecutive years. Five plots were surveyed by pitfall traps. Four of the plots were young (1-4 years); one plot was older

First fossil harvestmen (Arachnida: Opiliones) from Spain and notes on the fossil record of Opiliones [PDF]
Palaeontologia Electronica, 2019 The first two harvestmen (Arachnida: Opiliones) from the fossil record of Spain are reported herein. The first one is an imperfect specimen from the Early Cretaceous (Barremian) laminated limestones of Las Hoyas (Province of Cuenca). The second one is a complete, finely-preserved specimen from the Early Miocene (Burdigalian) lacustrine oil-shales of ...

From Mud to Meat: Comparative Metabarcoding Reveals Two Different Evolutionary Paths to Carnivory in a Group of Meiofaunal Annelids. [PDF]
Mol EcolABSTRACT Evolutionary transitions to carnivory represent profound shifts in feeding mode that are often accompanied by widespread changes in organismal function, behaviour and ecology. Such transitions have evolved numerous times among animals, and predator–prey interactions have been major drivers of animal evolution.

Mitigating light pollution impacts on arthropods based on light‐emitting diode properties
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Light pollution from artificial light at night (ALAN) is a significant environmental problem with far‐reaching consequences for ecological systems. Recent innovations in light‐emitting diode (LED) technology may offer sustainable outdoor lighting solutions, but scientific evidence is lacking. We investigated the effects of various LED lighting

Orchard Management Influences Predation of Halyomorpha halys Eggs
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.We investigated predation of eggs of the invasive stink bug Halyomorpha halys on apple trees in conventional, organic, and extensively managed Dutch orchards. Predation exceeded 40% in extensively managed orchards but was only about 10% in conventional and organic ones. We used camera traps to reveal natural enemies that may contribute to H.

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.Spider dietary breadth and overlap increased with imperviousness, suggesting that prey and spiders are concentrating in vacant lots in these landscapes. Higher vegetation biomass, which results from reduced mowing frequency, was associated with increased dietary breadth and shared prey between spiders.

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.The height at which epiphytic bromeliads are found affects the invertebrate community composition within them. The size of epiphytic bromeliads is positively correlated with species richness of both aquatic and terrestrial invertebrates. Whether bromeliads were found in primary or secondary forest did not have a significant effect on the community of ...

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 1, Page 365-376, January 2026.Maize varieties producing insecticidal proteins from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) have become an important component of integrated pest management worldwide. For regulatory approval of such plants, risks to the environment need to be assessed. To make such assessments less expensive and time‐consuming, conclusions drawn from data collected in one region
