Biology and Predatory Behavior of Metioche vittaticollis (Stal) (Orthoptera: Gryllidae)

JTPP: Journal of Tropical Plant Protection, 2017
Metioche vittaticollis (Stal) is one of the generalist predator in rice field habitat. The biology and predatory behavior were studied in the laboratory. The life cycle of M. vittaticollis (Stal) averaged 40–61 days at 26°-28oC. The eggs were inserted

Habitat complexity and prey composition shape an apex predator's habitat use across contrasting landscapes

Ecography, EarlyView.
The spatial ecology of stalk‐and‐ambush predators like the Eurasian lynx Lynx lynx depends on prey availability and environmental features, yet the relative roles of these factors remain unclear at large spatial scales. In this study, we analysed lynx habitat use across central and southern Finland using snow‐track data from the Wildlife Triangle ...

Shifting baselines increase the risk of misinterpreting biodiversity trends

Ecography, EarlyView.
Ecological studies quantifying the impact of land‐use change on biodiversity may be sensitive to the choice of reference points – or baselines – particularly when sampling across human land‐use gradients and other space‐for‐time comparisons. Much depends on whether the chosen baseline has already undergone shifts in species composition because of ...

Nature‐Based Solutions for Climate Adaptation: Review of Barriers to Adoption and Guidelines for Policymakers

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nature‐based solutions (NBS) for climate adaptation encompass a range of approaches that work with nature to increase resilience to climate change while providing ecological, economic and social co‐benefits. These solutions have frequently been put forward for application in urban contexts, such as the creation of urban forests, but can ...
