Landscape change and alien invasions drive shifts in native lady beetle communities over a century

Ecological Applications, Volume 34, Issue 7, October 2024.
Abstract Understanding causes of insect population declines is essential for the development of successful conservation plans, but data limitations restrict assessment across spatial and temporal scales. Museum records represent a source of historical data that can be leveraged to investigate temporal trends in insect communities.

Flowering areas enhance insect pollinators and biological control agents in wheat intensive agro‐ecosystems

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 17, Issue 5, Page 884-893, September 2024.
Large‐scale study aimed at investigating the effectiveness of flowering areas implementation in soft wheat fields. Specific goals were to evaluate the effect of flowering areas on insect pollinators, wheat aphid and bug infestations and biological control agents of aphids.

Winter and early spring assemblages of ladybird beetles (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) in two forest habitats in suburban area of Warsaw, central Poland

Studia Ecologiae et Bioethicae, 2016
In March and April of 2014 and 2015, overwintering and post-overwintering assemblages of ladybird beetles were investigated in deciduous (Tilio-Carpinetum) and mixed forest (Querco roboris-Pinetum) patches in a forest complex on the north-western ...

Modelling influence of quantitative factors on arthropod demographic parameters. [PDF]

, 2013
Fertility life table (FLT) parameters are important quantitative indicators of interactions between arthropod population and the environment. By summarizing information on both fertility and survivorship, they can capture chronicle sub lethal effects not

Dissecting natural hybridisation in longhorned beetles through an integrative approach: Further proof of reticulate evolution in Dorcadionini (Cerambycidae, Lamiinae)

Zoologica Scripta, Volume 53, Issue 5, Page 665-687, September 2024.
Abstract This work demonstrates for the first time using molecular markers alongside chromosomes and the intermediate phenotype that a specimen of Dorcadion is an accidental first‐generation hybrid. The analyses were based on two mitochondrial and five nuclear molecular markers.

Consumption of Bt Maize Pollen Containing Cry1Ie Does Not Negatively Affect Propylea japonica (Thunberg) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae)

Toxins, 2017
Propylea japonica (Thunberg) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) are prevalent predators and pollen feeders in East Asian maize fields. They are therefore indirectly (via prey) and directly (via pollen) exposed to Cry proteins within Bt-transgenic maize fields ...

Kelimpahan Populasi, Preferensi Dan Karakter Kebugaran Menochilus Sexmaculatus (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) Predator Kutudaun Pada Pertanaman Cabai [PDF]

, 2012
This predator is efective to control population of aphids, so the aim of research was to study the field population abundance, predator preference to this prey, and fitness character of M. sexmaculatus as predator. The population fluctuation was observed

Semi‐natural habitat, but not aphid amount or continuity, predicts lady beetle abundance across agricultural landscapes

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 61, Issue 8, Page 1881-1893, August 2024.
Our findings confirm the robust relationship between lady beetles and semi‐natural habitat in agricultural landscapes, and highlight the complexities of measuring fine‐scale resource heterogeneity in real landscapes. Retaining or adding woodland and grassland patches in agricultural landscapes is likely to support larger lady beetle populations and ...

Adapting to changing methodology in a long‐term experiment

Ecosphere, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2024.
Abstract Long‐term experiments are critical for understanding ecological processes, but their management comes with unique challenges. As time passes, projects may encounter unavoidable changes due to external factors, like availability of materials, affecting aspects of their research methodology. At the Kellogg Biological Station Long‐Term Ecological
