Diet breadth shapes gut microbiota in the invasive hornet Vespa velutina
Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.Dietary and microbial profiles of V. velutina larvae are dominated by Apidae and Firmicutes, respectively. DNA metabarcoding of larval meconium and gut samples reveals a significant positive correlation between prey richness and bacterial diversity in the invasive hornet V. velutina. Multiple significant correlations exist between dietary and microbial

Fly me to the canopy: Diptera communities in oak forest crowns as bioindicators of stand decline
Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.Diptera diversity: Oak decline increases the overall Diptera diversity, particularly in saproxylic and floricolous guilds, likely due to more open canopies and greater deadwood and floral resource availability. Family responses: Dolichopodidae, Empididae, Hybotidae and Anthomyiidae thrive in declining stands, whereas Mycetophilidae and other fungus ...

Colony Fission in a Social Wasp
, 1985 A colony of Ropalidia cyathiformis with eleven adult females experienced a period of high levelso faggressiona nd continuously decreasing rood culminating in about half the adults leaving the parent nest to found a new colony nearby. The group that stayed back at the parent nest which we call the Loyalists and the group that left which we call the ...

Concentrated vulnerabilities in bees: Diet specialists have smaller geographic ranges
Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.Niche breadth theory predicts a positive association between range size and diet breadth, which could concentrate risk among specialists, but this is not well established for bees. Using global occurrence data (range size) and natural history collection‐derived pollen data (diet breadth), we compared these traits in 633 species from six families and ...

The influence of cutting height on arthropods in farm grassland
Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.Mowing at a cutting height of 13 cm slightly reduced the immediate negative impact of mowing compared to mowing at a height of 7 cm. Medium‐term effects overrode this benefit: the number of vegetation‐dwelling arthropods remained strongly reduced two and four weeks after mowing, regardless of the cutting height.

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.Revegetated mine tailing storage facilities support pollinator abundance, diversity, richness and evenness comparable to recently logged boreal forest sites. Agronomic and spontaneous revegetation strategies host similar pollinator and Bombus community structures, indicating multiple rehabilitation approaches can effectively restore pollinator habitat.

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Invasive species pose a serious threat to biodiversity and result in significant economic costs. Although much effort is devoted to understanding invasive processes, some aspects are poorly understood, such as the early stages of invasions and the reasons for invasion failure.
