In urban areas, tree cover increases species richness and shapes species composition of saproxylic beetles along with the microclimate

open access: yesEcological Entomology, EarlyView.
Urbanisation constitutes a major threat to biodiversity due to the reduction of natural habitats. However, with appropriate conservation measures, cities can harbour for biodiversity valuable microhabitats, such as hollow trees. We tested the urban heat island effect and the effects of tree cover and urban structures on saproxylic beetles sampled in ...

Strategic Deployment of Secondary Defences in the Springbok Mantis (Miomantis Caffra)

open access: yesEthology, EarlyView.
Prey often use multiple defences for warding off predator threats. But the factors that influence their optimal deployment are poorly understood. In the springbok mantis, we show that females utilise their defences strategically to match the level of the threat by fleeing in early phases of the predation sequence and standing their ground with startle ...

Reviving of Coenonympha oedippus: A comprehensive approach to the reintroduction of an endangered European butterfly

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
The reintroduction of the endangered butterfly Coenonympha oedippus is the first conservation translocation of an invertebrate species in Slovenia. Three years after reintroduction, the population showed an 87% growth rate, demonstrating the effectiveness of the selected reintroduction site and its management, the source individuals and the protocols ...

Rapid selection for increased dispersal rates by the endangered butterfly Phengaris (Maculinea) arion across restored landscapes

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
After reintroduction to the UK, the endangered butterfly Phengaris arion has naturally colonised >40 sites where its habitat has been restored. We studied seven factors that might be influencing dispersal. Isolation of sites was the most important constraint on the colonisation of new habitats, followed by the number, but not the density, of P.
