Riparian Vegetation and Arthropod Responses to Dam Removal and Habitat Restoration Along the Kalamazoo River, Michigan, USA

River Research and Applications, Volume 41, Issue 9, Page 2017-2031, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Riparian ecosystems harbor diverse biota and provide numerous services to rivers including mitigating sediment run‐off, regulating temperature, and contributing food‐web subsidies. Dams are a major threat to riparian communities, but dam removal and riparian restoration efforts have the potential to restore these communities and the services ...

Amid the fallen leaves: Intense collecting in the Northern Atlantic Forest reveals new minute harvestmen species (Opiliones: Stygnidae) within the Area of Endemism of Pernambuco

Austral Entomology, Volume 64, Issue 4, November 2025.
Abstract Stygnids represent one of the most diverse harvestman families, with many endemic species in the Area of Endemism of Pernambuco, a pattern increasingly evident by intensified sampling in the region over the years. The area is also recognised for hosting a group of understudied minute leaf‐litter dwellers stygnids, represented by the following ...

Environmental gradients and carabid beetle diversity: Insights from wildfire and intensive site preparation in a Central European forest

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 27, Issue 4, Page 613-629, November 2025.
Wildfire and intensive site preparation influence beetle assemblages by shaping habitat heterogeneity, with wildfire fostering biodiversity while disc trenching leads to long‐term species declines due to habitat homogenization. Post‐fire beetle succession follows a predictable trajectory, with early successional species dominating open habitats and ...

Vegetation Structure and Soil Composition Influence Opiliones Diversity Across Spatial Scales in Amazonia

Biotropica, Volume 57, Issue 6, November 2025.
We examined how vegetation structure and soil composition influence the diversity and distribution of Opiliones across spatial scales in Central Amazonia. At the local scale, trees provided the richest microhabitats, strongly shaping species richness and composition, while at the regional scale, soil sand content was the main driver of species turnover.

Towards edge processing of images from insect camera traps

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, Volume 11, Issue 5, Page 573-589, October 2025.
The advancement of light traps with camera‐based monitoring systems for nocturnal insects necessitates effective and flexible pipelines for analysing recorded images. In this paper, we present a flexible and fast processing pipeline designed to analyse these recordings by detecting, tracking and classifying insects in a broad taxonomy of 15 classes and

A globally influential area‐condition metric is a poor proxy for invertebrate biodiversity

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 10, Page 2529-2540, October 2025.
Our results highlight the need to incorporate factors beyond habitat type and condition into site evaluations, and to complement metric use with species‐based surveys. Abstract There is increasing demand for standardised, easy‐to‐use metrics to assess progress towards achieving biodiversity targets and the effectiveness of ecological compensation ...
