Effects of undersowing maize with a diverse annual flower mixture on insect abundance and diversity

Basic and Applied Ecology
Biodiversity is declining globally, largely driven by anthropogenic land use. In Germany, maize occupies a large proportion of arable land and its cultivation is often viewed critically from an ecological perspective.

The Function of the Partially‐Opened Spathe of Pinellia pedatisecta (Araceae) as a Pitfall Pollinator Trap

Plant Species Biology, Volume 41, Issue 4, July 2026.
Pinellia pedatisecta has a simplified inflorescence structure, compared to its congeners with highly specialized trap pollination systems. However, our study suggests that P. pedatisecta also captures and releases pollinating insects by the spathe movement during flowering season.

Resource guarding by Ptomascopus morio: Simple parental care in the Nicrophorinae (Coleoptera: Silphidae)

European Journal of Entomology, 2006
Nicrophorine beetles use small vertebrate carrion for breeding resource. While Nicrophorus spp. have highly developed biparental care, no form of parental care is recorded for Ptomascopus spp.

Fires and Clear-Cuttings as Local Areas of Arthropod Diversity in Polar Regions: Khibiny Mountains

Fire
The well-known phenomenon of attracting untypical animals to disturbed territories has been poorly investigated in the polar mountains. We studied arthropod diversity in self-healing industrial clear-cuts and burn areas in the Khibiny Mountains, Kola ...

Silica nanoparticles as pesticide against insects of different feeding types and their non-target attraction of predators

Scientific Reports, 2021
The agricultural use of silica (SiO2) nanoparticles (NPs) has the potential to control insect pests while the safety and tritrophic effects on plants and beneficial natural enemies remains unknown.

The impacts of biological invasions

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1255-1310, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

Ground-dwelling invertebrate diversity in domestic gardens along a rural-urban gradient: Landscape characteristics are more important than garden characteristics

PLoS ONE, 2020
Urbanisation is increasing worldwide and is regarded a major driver of environmental change altering local species assemblages. Private domestic gardens contribute a significant share of total green area in cities, but their biodiversity has received ...

Comparative Analysis of Lepidopteran Community Structure Using DNA Metabarcoding: Warm‐Temperate Forest Versus Grass‐Shrub Ecotones in Pangquangou National Nature Reserve

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
This study confirms that the method based on DNA metabarcoding qualifies as a cost‐efficient alternative to traditional approaches, as well as a better understanding for future assessment of insect diversity. ABSTRACT Lepidoptera is a widely geographically distributed insect order that plays crucial ecological roles in forest and grass‐shrub ecosystems
