Both landscape and local factors influence plant and hexapod communities of industrial water‐abstraction sites [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2022 At the landscape level, intensification of agriculture, fragmentation, and destruction of natural habitats are major causes of biodiversity loss that can be mitigated at small spatial scales.

Comparisons of Citizen Science Data-Gathering Approaches to Evaluate Urban Butterfly Diversity [PDF]
Insects, 2018 By 2030, ten percent of earth’s landmass will be occupied by cities. Urban environments can be home to many plants and animals, but surveying and estimating biodiversity in these spaces is complicated by a heterogeneous built environment where ...

Plant-Pollinator Interactions in Grasslands Established on Arable Land. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe compared plant‐pollinator networks in newly established and old, permanent grasslands in a Central European agricultural landscape. Newly established grasslands showed higher pollinator visitation frequency and diversity per plant species, especially for solitary bees and syrphids, with a comparable network structure to old grasslands.

Species-habitat networks reveal conservation implications that other community analyses do not detect. [PDF]
Ecol ApplAbstract Grassland restoration is an important conservation intervention supporting declining insect pollinators in threatened calcareous grassland landscapes. While the success of restoration is often quantified using simple measures of diversity or similarity to target communities, these measures do not capture all fundamental aspects of community ...

Polling the Public to Select Flagship Species for Tourism and Conservation-A 'Big Five' for the Peruvian Amazon? [PDF]
Ecol EvolFlagship species are used to promote conservation and tourism, but selecting species purely for prescribed appealing characteristics may overlook unique flagships or homogenise selections. A strategy of polling the public can more directly identify existing preferences for species for marketing.

Jurnal Riset Biologi dan Aplikasinya, 2021 The conversion of land functions can result in a decrease of environmental quality, which can reduce the diversity of butterflies. This study aimed to determine the diversity level and to find the most abundant and less abundant butterfly species around ...

Multi-method approach to assessing the floral-visiting insect assemblage of rare, abophilous plant Baccharis vanessae in Southern California. [PDF]
Ecol EvolIn this study, we compare the accuracy of two different methods of monitoring to assess the insect assemblage of Encinitas Baccharis (Baccharis vanessae): focal observations and video recordings from camera traps. The insect vectors identified were as expected given B. vanessae pollination syndrome.
