Multiple facets of biodiversity are threatened by mining‐induced land‐use change in the Brazilian Amazon

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 29, Issue 9, Page 1190-1204, September 2023., 2023
Abstract Aim Mining is increasingly pressuring areas of critical importance for biodiversity conservation, such as the Brazilian Amazon. Biodiversity data are limited in the tropics, restricting the scope for risks to be appropriately estimated before mineral licensing decisions are made.

Stable pollination service in a generalist high Arctic community despite the warming climate

Ecological Monographs, Volume 93, Issue 1, February 2023., 2023
Abstract Insects provide key pollination services in most terrestrial biomes, but this service depends on a multistep interaction between insect and plant. An insect needs to visit a flower, receive pollen from the anthers, move to another conspecific flower, and finally deposit the pollen on a receptive stigma.

Unlocking the evolution of abdominal specializations in Luciuranus fireflies (Coleoptera, Lampyridae)

Zoologica Scripta, Volume 51, Issue 6, Page 708-723, November 2022., 2022
Abstract Understanding the evolution of genitalic traits and their co‐evolution between sexes is at the core of Evolutionary Biology. Cross‐species reproductive trait co‐variation can be the outcome of hybrid avoidance and/or sexual selection. Although the outcome of these two phenomena will look similar, they yield distinct patterns of species co ...

Agroecological farming, flowering phenology and the pollinator–herbivore–parasitoid nexus regulate non‐crop plant reproduction

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 59, Issue 8, Page 2046-2058, August 2022., 2022
Agroecological management produced spatial and temporal gradients in crop and non‐crop floral resources that interacted to modify pollinator or seed herbivore–parasitoid interactions and Cyanus segetum and Centaurea jacea seed set. The degree of phenological overlap between C. segetum and C.

Top‐down cascading effects of seed‐feeding beetles and their parasitoids on plants and leaf herbivores

Functional Ecology, Volume 36, Issue 6, Page 1500-1512, June 2022., 2022
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract When feeding on a plant, herbivorous insects alter the quality of the plant as a food source. This affects other organisms interacting with the same plant. These so‐called ‘plant‐mediated interactions’ can be altered by parasitoids that attack the herbivores.

Cacao flower visitation: Low pollen deposition, low fruit set and dominance of herbivores

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 3, Issue 2, April–June 2022., 2022
Pollination of native cacao is surprisingly understudied, even though the process is crucial for the global chocolate production. In an understudied peruvian region, we found herbivores as dominant flower visitors, and low pollen deposition.Fruit set was low when flowers were pollinated naturally (2%), but also manually (7%). Our findings highlight the

Metabarcoding of canopy arthropods reveals negative impacts of forestry insecticides on community structure across multiple taxa

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 59, Issue 4, Page 997-1012, April 2022., 2022
Comparing diversity patterns in the arthropod communities of sprayed and unsprayed oak canopies, our results show that selective insecticides can alter species diversity in presumably non‐sensitive taxa. Even though the ecological significance of these impacts has yet to be assessed in an operational setting, their existence calls for increased ...
