Effects of land cover and protected areas on flying insect diversity

Conservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 4, August 2025.
Abstract Widespread insect losses are a critical global problem. Mitigating this problem requires identifying the principal drivers across different taxa and determining which insects are covered by protected areas. However, doing so is hindered by missing information on most species owing to extremely high insect diversity and difficulties in ...

Scientists' warning on the need for greater inclusion of dragonflies in global conservation

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 18, Issue 4, Page 465-484, July 2025.
Stressors to dragonflies are multiple, and in many cases interactive. Specialist species are at risk, while generalists can benefit from some human activities. Dragonflies are sentinels for conservation, being promising surrogates for other taxa while also being appealing to citizen science initiatives.

Microbial Responses to Micronutrient Amendments in Oxygenated and Deoxygenated Waters of the Arabian Sea

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 17, Issue 3, June 2025.
Microcosm experiments and 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing show that micronutrients (Zn, Fe, Co) or their combination (Zn + Fe + Co) significantly influence nutrient concentrations and microbial dynamics in both oxygenated (73 m) and deoxygenated (200 m) waters of the Arabian Sea.

Enhancing Learners' Reading Comprehension With Preferred Background Music: An Eye‐Tracking, EEG, and Heart Rate Study

Reading Research Quarterly, Volume 60, Issue 2, April/May/June 2025.
ABSTRACT It is often observed that many learners prefer reading texts with background music (BGM), which may enhance engagement and mood in reading. However, the impact of BGM on reading comprehension performance or process remains heterogeneous. This study examined how learners' self‐provided preferred BGM affected reading comprehension accuracy and ...

Higher bee species richness in conservation areas compared with non‐conservation areas in south‐west Germany

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 18, Issue 2, Page 191-205, March 2025.
Malaise trap records from Baden‐Württemberg, Germany, show that sites within conservation areas have higher bee species richness than sites in non‐conservation areas. Endangered bee species were closely associated with sites in conservation areas. However, flying insect biomass from 2018 to 2023 was not affected by conservation status.

Metabarcoding advances agricultural invertebrate biomonitoring by enhancing resolution, increasing throughput and facilitating network inference

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 27, Issue 1, Page 50-66, February 2025.
Abstract Biomonitoring of agriculturally important insects is increasingly vital given our need to understand: (a) the severity of impacts by pests and pathogens on crop yield and health and (b) the impact of environmental change and land management on insects, in line with sustainable development and global conservation targets.

Mapping Local Climate Zones for a Worldwide Database of the Form and Function of Cities [PDF]

, 2015
Progress in urban climate science is severely restricted by the lack of useful information that describes aspects of the form and function of cities at a detailed spatial resolution.
