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

open access: yesPLoS 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 ...

Using deep learning to assess the toxicological effects of sublethal exposure of a novel green pesticide in a stored‐product beetle

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 5, Page 4319-4331, May 2026.
This study employs an AI‐driven multidisciplinary approach to increase our understanding of the toxicological effects of sublethal concentrations of carlina oxide on Prostephanus truncatus. Sublethal exposure to the carlina oxide induced changes in motor patterns and thigmotaxis, highlighting its potential role in integrated pest management strategies.

Arthropod niche differentiation linked to grazing‐induced sward islets in intensively managed agricultural pasture

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 3, Page 598-620, May 2026.
In a given number of samples, grassland sward islets contain more species of arthropods than the surrounding sward. When corrected for abundance, there is no difference in species richness, suggesting that the effect of islets might purely be to concentrate arthropods. The community structure differences indicated by non‐metric multidimensional scaling

The First Cleaner Ant? A Novel Partnership in the Arizona Desert

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
I give an account of an undescribed ant species from Arizona that licks and nips the much larger workers of a different ant species in manner remarkably parallel to the actions of cleaner fish that clean other kinds of fish. Specifically, the potentially aggressive individuals being tended encourage these attentions by stationing themselves in a ...

Abundance, Distribution and Population Trends of Waterbirds in the Usangu Wetland: A Biodiversity Hotspot Threatened by Human Activities

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
Waterbirds play vital ecological roles in wetland ecosystems. This study reports variations for 34 species of waterbirds across study sites of Usangu Wetland abundance with distribution bias in rice farms. The waterbird population trend is declining because of habitat alteration and hunting hence conservation measures should be taken to enhance ...

Free rein: Are feral horses competing with native ungulates in British Columbia?

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 3, April 2026.
We investigated little‐studied feral horses in west‐central British Columbia, Canada, as a potential competitor for native moose and mule deer. We did not find strong evidence that feral horses exclude moose or deer from habitat or resources at a large landscape scale or smaller spatiotemporal patch scale.

Ökomorphologie : Integration von Form, Funktion und Ökologie bei der Analyse morphologischer Strukturen [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Organisms are complex entities whose study has necessitated an increasingly reductionistic stance in modern biology (CAPLAN 1987). As a consequence, biology as a science has been split up into numerous sub-disciplines.

A contribution to the rove beetles (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae, Paederinae) in north of Iran [PDF]

open access: yesArthropods, 2016
In this paper, 19 species of rove beetles (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae), belonging to the subfamily Paederinae Fleming 1821, were collected from Mazandaran province, north of Iran, during 2015-2016. Two species, Rugilus angustatus Geoffroy 1758 and Astenus
