Arthropod abundances track soil fertility across a lowland tropical forest landscape. [PDF]

J Anim Ecol
This study reveals strong, diverse associations between soil phosphorus and the abundances of understorey arthropods across a lowland tropical forest landscape. These patterns were not paralleled in an adjacent site‐level fertilisation experiment, raising the interesting possibility that arthropod–phosphorus associations could be mediated by spatial ...

Understanding the Coleoptera community at the tree‐line using taxonomic and functional guild approaches

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 25, Issue 4, Page 669-680, November 2023., 2023
Understanding the effects of elevation and other forest characteristics on saproxylic and non‐saproxylic Coleoptera is a step towards predicting the future of functional group and taxonomic biodiversity at the tree‐line and on mountains. Our results suggest that abundance of saprotrophs is closely linked to the density of large trees rather than the ...

Pleistocene environments, climate, and human activity in Britain during Marine Isotope Stage 7: insights from Oak Tree Fields, Cerney Wick, Gloucestershire

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 38, Issue 6, Page 840-865, August 2023., 2023
ABSTRACT Investigations at Oak Tree Fields, Cerney Wick, Gloucestershire, in western England have revealed a sequence of fluvial deposits dating from Marine Oxygen Isotope Stage (MIS) 7 to 5. At the base of the sequence, a series of gravel and sand facies were deposited, initially as part of a meandering river.

Image‐based taxonomic classification of bulk insect biodiversity samples using deep learning and domain adaptation

Systematic Entomology, Volume 48, Issue 3, Page 387-401, July 2023., 2023
We evaluated deep learning models for image classification under a realistic setting of biodiversity surveys, where models trained with global image sources predict samples from an unstudied target area. The accuracy of between‐datasets predictions (across disparate source–target pairs that do not share any species) was 82% and depended greatly on the ...

Micro‐habitat drivers of saproxylic beetle assemblages in old woodlands of Mediterranean cork oak (Quercus suber)

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 25, Issue 1, Page 77-90, February 2023., 2023
Abstract Cork oak landscapes are fascinating ecosystems, historically managed for cork extraction. The persistence in this habitat of many hollow veteran trees provides suitable micro‐habitats for saproxylic beetles. We investigated the saproxylic beetle community of two isolated cork oak woodlands of central Italy with different degree of recovery ...

The thoracic anatomy of Pselaphus heisei (Pselaphinae, Staphylinidae, Coleoptera)

Journal of Morphology, Volume 284, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023
Upper part: SEM micrographs of Pselaphus heisei, lateral view; Lower part: 3D reconstructions of thoracic muscles of Pselaphus heisei, mesal view. Abstract We document external and internal thoracic structures of the free‐living pselaphine beetle Pselaphus heisei (Pselaphitae) using a set of traditional and modern techniques.

Diversity and phylogenetic community structure across elevation during climate change in a family of hyperdiverse neotropical beetles (Staphylinidae)

Ecography, Volume 44, Issue 5, Page 740-752, May 2021., 2021
Environmental stress from abiotic conditions imposes physiological limits on individuals within communities, and these stressful conditions can act as a filter on the species present in any given environment. Such abiotic stressors can reduce a community's diversity and make its composition more phylogenetically clustered. Using a decade of staphylinid

Dasycerine rove beetles: Cretaceous diversification, phylogeny and historical biogeography (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Dasycerinae)

Cladistics, Volume 37, Issue 2, Page 185-210, April 2021., 2021
Abstract Within the hyperdiverse beetle family Staphylinidae, Dasycerinae is one of the smallest and most cryptic subfamilies, comprising a sole extant genus characterized by a latridiid beetle‐like body form. Little has been known about their early diversification, character evolution, phylogeny and historical biogeography because of limited fossil ...

Feeding of Scydmaenus rufus (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Scydmaeninae) on oribatid and uropodine mites: Prey preferences and hunting behaviour

European Journal of Entomology, 2015
Prey preferences and feeding-related behaviour of a Central European species of Scydmaeninae, Scydmaenus rufus, were studied under laboratory conditions. Results of prey choice experiments involving 22 identified species of mites belonging to 13 families
