Insecticide‐level pest control provided by in‐field flower strips
Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 4, April 2026.Our findings indicate that in‐field flower strips or derived legume‐based intercropping systems can help reduce reliance on pesticide use in agriculture. Abstract Biodiversity in agricultural landscapes has declined significantly due to intensified farming practices, underscoring the need for sustainable pest management.

Effects of large herbivores on grassland arthropod diversity [PDF]
, 2015 Both arthropods and large grazing herbivores are important components and drivers of biodiversity in grassland ecosystems, but a synthesis of how arthropod diversity is affected by large herbivores has been largely missing. To fill this gap, we conducted

Myrmecophily in beetles (Coleoptera): evolutionary patterns and biological mechanisms [PDF]
, 2016 Socially parasitic myrmecophily has evolved numerous times in arthropods, but myrmecophilous lineages are non-randomly distributed across phylogeny. Evolution of this way of life is heavily biased towards the Coleoptera, within this order towards rove ...
