The significance of woody vegetation's nonproductive elements for the overwintering of key biocontrol agents in intensively used agricultural areas. [PDF]
Pest Manag SciNonproduction woody vegetation provides crucial overwintering habitats for spiders, enhancing biocontrol services in agricultural landscapes. Incorporating these habitats into land management supports ecosystem services and biodiversity. Abstract BACKGROUND Successful overwintering habitats are critical for the long‐term survival of biocontrol agents ...

Effects of Crop Rotation Diversification and Livestock Integration on Above-Ground Arthropod Dynamics Under Conservation Agriculture. [PDF]
Ecol EvolDiverse crops in conservation agriculture systems can support a variety of arthropods, while sampling methods affected arthropod diversity outcomes. Canola‐Medics‐Wheat‐Medics rotation had a varied effect on arthropod diversity. We suggest that multiple taxa are necessary to compare diversification practices.

Taking care of the enemy: egg predation by the Darwin wasp Tromatobia sp. (Ichneumonidae) on the cobweb spider Chrysso compressa (Araneae, Theridiidae) [PDF]
Journal of Hymenoptera Research, 2023 Some wasp species use spiders as food resources, overcoming several anti-predator barriers that are exerted by spiders. Tromatobia ichneumonid wasps are spider egg predators that usually attack Araneidae species, although there are few records of ...

Black-throated blue warblers (Setophaga caerulescens) exhibit diet flexibility and track seasonal changes in insect availability. [PDF]
Ecol EvolChanges in seasonality have extended the breeding window for migratory birds in North America with earlier springs and later autumns that affect insect availability. DNA metabarcoding and insect surveys revealed that migratory, insectivorous black‐throated blue warblers exhibit diet flexibility in response to seasonal pulses in arthropod prey ...

Edge Effects and Pitfall Trap Design Influence Spider Diversity and Assemblages in Canola Agroecosystems on the Canadian Prairies. [PDF]
Ecol EvolSpiders are important generalist predators in canola agroecosystems, but their diversity remains poorly studied on the Canadian Prairies. We surveyed spider assemblages in the Aspen Parkland region and tested pitfall trap modifications to improve sampling.
