Ibis, EarlyView.Fine‐scale genetic structure in animal populations can create opportunities for both kin‐directed co‐operation and kin competition. Knowledge of kinship is therefore key to understanding the selective pressures shaping sociality as well as the effects of social behaviour on local genetic structure.

A protracted phenology: Post‐diapause larval development of a threatened butterfly
Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.Larval survival during diapause was high; hibernaculum webs were mostly located near Succisa pratensis plants, which often retained vital leaves through winter. Post‐diapause developmental time varied strongly depending on exposure to different microclimates, being reduced by litter cover, solar radiation and a higher heat load index.

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.We quantified the geographical overlap between parasitoid wasps and their known host spiders. We could assess which parasitoid species have more limited information about their interactions and are subject to geographical survey bias. We generated sampling bias maps to assist other researchers in identifying where the main sampling gaps are.

To provide pollinator nesting habitat, cut dead perennial stems in their first winter
Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.Garden management practises need to consider stem‐nesting bees and wasps to avoid destroying active nests and important nesting materials. Volunteers collected samples of dead stems (in situ where they grew) in winter, spring, summer and fall as part of a participatory research project.
