Role of freshwater availability and terrestrial land‐cover change in the distribution of a declining, terrestrial, insectivorous bird

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Insectivorous, Afro‐Palearctic migrant birds provide cross‐border ecosystem services, but many are declining rapidly. The complex life cycle of migrant birds makes their conservation difficult, but understanding where they spend time during the breeding season can help indicate where those actions will be most effective.

Abundant and rare spiders on tree trunks in German forests (Arachnida, Araneae) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The spider fauna active on the bark of trees in forests on eight sites in different regions in Germany was investigated. Trunk eclectors at about 2-4 meters height on living trees were used in different regions of Germany (SW Bavaria, Hesse, Brandenburg)

Identifying the exposure of taxonomic, functional, and phylogenetic diversity of steppe birds to renewable energy development

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Biodiversity is globally threatened by human impacts, including land‐use transformation and climate change, which has prompted a rapid transition from fossil fuels to cleaner energy sources, such as photovoltaic (PV) energy. However, utility‐scale PV plants require vast areas and can lead to conflicts with biodiversity conservation, making ...

Baetiella muchei (Braasch, 1978) (Ephemeroptera: Baetidae) new to India, with reference to the morphological variability of the larvae [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Insect Biodiversity and Systematics
Baetiella muchei (Braasch, 1978) is recorded for the first time from the Neeru stream of Jammu and Kashmir, India. The variability in larval characters such as size, the shape of the labrum, and the number of the sub-marginal arc of setae in the labrum ...

Timing avian long-distance migration: from internal clock mechanisms to global flights [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Migratory birds regularly perform impressive long-distance flights, which are timed relative to the anticipated environmental resources at destination areas that can be several thousand kilometres away.

Ecosystem Services Against Illegal Immigration: The Natural Control of the Migratory Butterfly Painted Lady (Vanessa cardui) by Cotesia vestalis (Hymenoptera, Braconidae) on Organic Soybean in Ukraine

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
In central Ukraine, the migratory butterfly Vanessa cardui emerged as a key pest of organic soybean during its outbreaks in 2019 and 2022. Despite early defoliation, crops recovered strongly due to high parasitism by Cotesia vestalis, reaching 100% in some fields.

Modelling the national breeding distribution and population size of an elusive forest bird, the Eurasian Woodcock (Scolopax rusticola)

open access: yesIbis, EarlyView.
Understanding the distribution of species is central to conservation biology. Species distribution modelling (SDM) is a standard method used for this purpose, especially for elusive species for which limited occurrence data exist. The Eurasian Woodcock Scolopax rusticola (hereafter Woodcock) is an elusive, woodland‐dwelling wader that is declining in ...
