Predator niche overlap predicts effects on aphid vectors and a vector‐borne virus

open access: yesEcological Applications, Volume 35, Issue 5, July 2025.
Abstract Multiple predator species can enhance or disrupt prey suppression based on whether different predators forage in complementary or overlapping niches. Interactions between predator species are primarily evaluated by resulting effects on prey abundance, although alterations of prey behavior also occur.

A Novel Invertebrate Predator on an Oceanic Island: Impacts and Invasion Dynamics of Kontikia andersoni on Macquarie Island

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2025.
This study examines the invasion dynamics of the predatory invertebrate flatworm Kontikia andersoni, and its impacts on the invertebrate communities of sub‐Antarctic Macquarie Island. Our findings indicate that at higher elevations where K. andersoni is present there are significant reductions in invertebrate richness.

Incidental Ingestion of Plant‐Dwelling Arthropods by Sheep and Cattle in the Same Habitat

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2025.
In this study, a DNA metabarcoding analysis of fecal samples reveals the frequent incidental ingestion of plant‐dwelling arthropods by sheep and cattle foraging in the same habitat. Sheep and cattle ingest different varieties of arthropods. The incidental ingestion of arthropods by these large herbivores reflects their distinct dietary preferences ...

Biological Flora of Britain and Ireland: Cytisus scoparius*

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 7, Page 1877-1933, July 2025.
Broom is an attractive and common native plant across Britain, Ireland and most of Europe, and yet it is considered a harmful and invasive weed around the rest of the world. This is aided by broom thriving on poor dry soils, helped by using green stems for photosynthesis and having root nodules to fix nitrogen.

Hyperparasitic showdown: Sclerodermus cereicollis, a non-aggressive but surprisingly secondary hyperparasitoid

open access: yesJournal of Entomological and Acarological Research
This study investigates the dynamics of hyperparasitism within the Bethylidae family, focusing on the interaction between Sclerodermus cereicollis and Goniozus legneri, two parasitoid wasp species characterized by different sociality and aggressivity ...

Larval parasitism of the autumnal moth reduces feeding intensity on the mountain birch [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Plants respond to grazing by herbivorous insects by emitting a range of volatile organic compounds, which attract parasitoids to their insect hosts. However, a positive outcome for the host plant is a necessary precondition for making the attraction ...
