Ecogeographic patterns in a mainland-island system in Northern Europe as inferred from the rove beetles (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae) on Læsø island

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2018
Rove beetles (Staphylinidae) are used to explore the forces that shaped the terrestrial fauna on Læsø, a young ca. 3000 year old Danish oceanic island located in the Kattegat strait between mainland Denmark and Sweden.

Moderately thinning encroaching shrub species is key to balancing rangeland restoration and arthropod biodiversity conservation in Namibia

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 6, June 2026.
Moderate manual thinning (50F) maintained arthropod diversity comparable to untreated controls while reducing shrub dominance, demonstrating that structural heterogeneity buffers biodiversity loss during rangeland restoration in Namibian bush‐encroached systems. These findings advocate mosaic debushing strategies that preserve vegetation complexity and

Differences between beetle communities colonizing cattle and horse dung

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2014
Piles of fresh cow and horse dung were placed in a pasture in Dziarny in north-east Poland. The differences between the beetle communities colonizing both types of dung at various stages of succession were analyzed.

Predation on Artificial Caterpillars Varies With Vertical Stratification but Not Light Gradients in a Sugar Maple Temperate Forest

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 6, Page 559-569, June 2026.
Predation pressure varies vertically, with highest arthropod predation in the understory and highest bird predation in the canopy. Light availability differs across vertical strata, but predation patterns are more strongly influenced by height and forest structure than by light gradients.

Preservative Ethanol From Stomach Contents Is a Reliable Proxy for Diet DNA Metabarcoding

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 3, May–June 2026.
We tested whether DNA metabarcoding of preservative ethanol can substitute bulk stomach contents for reconstructing diets. Using two ethanol DNA extraction methods (precipitation and drying), the resulting profiles showed minor differences relative to each other and to bulk contents in richness, composition, and read counts, mostly limited to low ...

Succession and Abundance of Staphylinidae in Cattle Dung in Uberlândia, Brazil

open access: yesMemorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1998
Fimicolous Staphylinidae prey on rearing dipterous in cattle dung, acting as their natural controllers, including pests such as horn fly. To survey the abundance and succession of these coleopterans in cattle dung deposited in pasture, six experiments ...

The value of regeneration for insect fauna associated with leaf litter in the Brazilian savanna: A comparative study of biomass and trophic structure

open access: yesAnnals of Applied Biology, Volume 188, Issue 3, Page 875-888, May 2026.
This study demonstrates the ecological value of natural regeneration in the Brazilian Cerrado by analysing the biomass, richness and trophic structure of leaf litter insects across pasture (P), regenerating (R) and native (N) areas. We found that R areas supported insect communities more similar to N habitats than to Ps, with higher richness, greater ...

Preliminary Functional Group Patterns of Arthropods in a Maize Field and Adjacent Cultivated Refuge Strip in South Africa

open access: yesAustral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 2, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Agricultural intensification is a major driver of global arthropod declines. Habitat management strategies, such as cultivated refuge strips (CRS), can counteract these effects by enhancing biodiversity, promoting conservation biological control and improving agroecosystem resilience.
