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.

Fly me to the canopy: Diptera communities in oak forest crowns as bioindicators of stand decline

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Diptera diversity: Oak decline increases the overall Diptera diversity, particularly in saproxylic and floricolous guilds, likely due to more open canopies and greater deadwood and floral resource availability. Family responses: Dolichopodidae, Empididae, Hybotidae and Anthomyiidae thrive in declining stands, whereas Mycetophilidae and other fungus ...

The influence of cutting height on arthropods in farm grassland

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Mowing at a cutting height of 13 cm slightly reduced the immediate negative impact of mowing compared to mowing at a height of 7 cm. Medium‐term effects overrode this benefit: the number of vegetation‐dwelling arthropods remained strongly reduced two and four weeks after mowing, regardless of the cutting height.

Winners and losers in subarctic moth communities in a changing climate: Marine regime shifts as predictors for terrestrial insect biomass

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
1972–2017, the total moth biomass ina subarctic community had a positive trend but biomass trends differ betweenmoth groups based on taxonomy, phenology and resource use. In the northern latitudes,outbreaking species impact greatly moth biomass Moth biomass is associated withtemperature variables and marine Regime shifts, which can be effective ...

Analysing the Ecological Requirements of the Australian Tortoise Beetle Trachymela sloanei (Blackburn, 1897) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) to Determine the Prospects for Its Invasion Process

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Invasive species pose a serious threat to biodiversity and result in significant economic costs. Although much effort is devoted to understanding invasive processes, some aspects are poorly understood, such as the early stages of invasions and the reasons for invasion failure.
