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

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
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*
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.

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]
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 ...
