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.

Abundance of Coccinellids and Their Potential Prey in Field-Crop and Grass Habitats in Eastern South Dakota [PDF]
, 2018 A rich fauna of coccinellids occurs in eastern South Dakota, but the abundance of some species has declined in association with the establishment of an exotic lady beetle, Coccinella septempunctata (L.) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae), in the mid-1980s.

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
