Persistence and dynamic of forest snails in the Western Carpathians over the last 40 thousand years
Boreas, EarlyView.The glacial/interglacial cycles have shaped the landscape of temperate Europe for the past 2.5 million years, with open landscapes prevailing during the glacial and forested landscapes during the interglacial periods. However, the survival and recolonization strategies of temperate forest species during glacial phases remain poorly understood and hotly

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.This regional‐scale field study shows that critically threatened freshwater pearl mussels rely substantially on terrestrial organic matter, indicating strong connectivity between terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. However, human pressures at the catchment scale reduced this resource connectivity.

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.We experimentally manipulated top‐down (predator exclusion) and bottom‐up (fertilisation) forces in a temperate forest understory to test effects on arthropod densities, body sizes and herbivory. Predator exclusion had no detectable effect on arthropod density, herbivory damage or body size, whereas fertilisation increased herbivory damage and ...

Strong diel variation in the activity of insect taxa sampled by Malaise traps
Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.Malaise traps sampled different communities during mornings (06:00–12:00), afternoons (12:00–16:00), evenings (18:00–22:00), and nights (22:00–06:00), highlighting the difference in diel rhythm between taxa. The highest diversity and abundance of insects were found during afternoons, the lowest diversity during night, and the lowest abundance during ...
