The Field Automatic Insect Recognition-Device-A Non-Lethal Semi-Automatic Malaise Trap for Insect Biodiversity Monitoring: Proof of Concept. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThe FAIR‐Device, a novel nonlethal field tool, combines semi‐automatic image capture and AI‐based species identification to monitor insect biodiversity. In a 26‐day proof‐of‐concept evaluation, it recorded 431 individuals across diverse taxa, demonstrating potential as a cost‐effective solution for high‐resolution insect monitoring.

Stable gullies provide a suitable habitat for functional insects and reduce the threat of pests on crops in farmland of Northeast China. [PDF]
Ecol EvolOur study indicated that stable gullies with higher plant diversity provide the best habitat for functional insects rather than forest belts and grassland in the watershed, especially during busy farming activities. The vigorous growth stage was one key period for pest control, and gully as a source of BI can significantly regulate the pests in ...

Black-throated blue warblers (Setophaga caerulescens) exhibit diet flexibility and track seasonal changes in insect availability. [PDF]
Ecol EvolChanges in seasonality have extended the breeding window for migratory birds in North America with earlier springs and later autumns that affect insect availability. DNA metabarcoding and insect surveys revealed that migratory, insectivorous black‐throated blue warblers exhibit diet flexibility in response to seasonal pulses in arthropod prey ...
