Seasonal effects of land cover and intensity of farming practices on α and β diversity of grassland arthropod communities

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Land cover heterogeneity drives grassland arthropod diversity in spring, while local management intensity becomes the primary driver in autumn, revealing strong seasonal shifts in environmental influences. Landscape‐scale farming intensity significantly shapes arthropod community composition through balanced variation, demonstrating its role as an ...

Forest disturbance and the spread of invasive species disrupt diel activity patterns in New Guinea ant communities

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Primary forests hosted more diurnal species and exhibited significant diel specialization. Secondary forests were less species‐rich, dominated by invasive ants, with reduced diel partitioning and more species active at night. Although the overall ant activity was higher during the day, this pattern was stratum‐dependent: arboreal and terrestrial ants ...

Regenerative wheat management: The relative effects of farm practices on the biodiversity of invertebrates

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Wheat in North America harbours a diverse insect community (565 morphospecies were identified in this study), and pests represented <7% of specimens collected. Regenerative wheat management promoted insect diversity without increasing pest populations.

Taxonomic and functional patterns of arthropod succession after glacier retreat in the Dolomite Alps

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Arthropod succession after glacier retreat varied among species and forelands in the Dolomites Alps, with community composition shaped by glacier identity, time since deglaciation and local environmental conditions. Functional composition shifted from small, highly dispersive pioneer species to larger, less dispersive taxa, reflecting increasing ...

Environmental and seasonal filtering of taxonomic, functional and phylogenetic diversity patterns of mountain butterflies in a prime butterfly area, Greece

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Forest clearings support butterfly communities comparable to mountainous grasslands in alpha‐diversity and conservation value, yet remain compositionally distinct. Generalized linear models (GLMs) showed three key habitat predictors shaping multifaceted diversity and community composition: herb/grass height, flowerhead abundance and elevation.
