Can Widely Used Methods Be Turned Into eDNA Samplers for Ground‐Dwelling Arthropods? Insights From Two Pilot Studies in West European Salt Marshes

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 2, Page 164-177, February 2026.
This study evaluates bulk and eDNA metabarcoding via suction sampling and modified pitfall traps to monitor salt marsh arthropods. Suction sampling excelled in detecting overlooked taxa, whereas pitfalls were effective for Scarabaeinae. Results underscore the importance of adapting protocols to specific taxa and habitats and highlight the effects of ...

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

open access: yesEuropean 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

Vegetation biomass and landscape context influence web‐building spider dietary breadth in urban vacant lots

open access: yesEcological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, Page 126-140, February 2026.
Spider dietary breadth and overlap increased with imperviousness, suggesting that prey and spiders are concentrating in vacant lots in these landscapes. Higher vegetation biomass, which results from reduced mowing frequency, was associated with increased dietary breadth and shared prey between spiders.

Larval morphology of Scydmaenus tarsatus and S. hellwigii, with notes on feeding behaviour and a review of the bibliography on the preimaginal stages of ant-like stone beetles (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Scydmaeninae)

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2012
Morphology of mature larvae of two Central European species of Scydmaenus Latreille is described and illustrated: S. (s. str.) tarsatus Müller & Kunze and S. (Cholerus) hellwigii (Herbst). Inaccuracies in previous descriptions of S.

Beetles (Coleoptera) from the burrows of the great gerbil Rhombomys opimus (Lichtenstein, 1823) (Mammalia: Muridae) in the southern Turkmenistan

open access: yesТрансформация экосистем, 2023
The study is the first attempt to generalize the data on the burrow biocenoses of the great gerbil (Rhombomys opimus (Lichtenstein, 1823)) in the region of persistent plague epizootics in the lowland part of the Karakum Desert (Southern Turkmenistan ...

Tree species diversity increases the temporal stability of multitrophic forest beetle communities

open access: yesEcography, Volume 2026, Issue 1, January 2026.
As key members of the terrestrial food webs and vital contributors to wood decomposition, beetles play essential roles in ecosystem services but are experiencing widespread declines under climate change. While protecting and restoring forests with high tree species diversity is widely acknowledged as a nature‐based solution for climate change ...

Predatory behaviour of some Central European pselaphine beetles (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Pselaphinae) with descriptions of relevant morphological features of their heads

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2008
The Pselaphinae is a large subfamily of staphylinid beetles with a characteristic habitus and small body size. Detailed morphological and behavioural studies on these beetles are scarce.

Thermophilization over space but not time among communities of ground‐dwelling arthropods in a desert city

open access: yesEcology, Volume 107, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Thermophilization of communities, or shifts in composition favoring more warm‐adapted species, over time and space is a common response to warming from global climate change and localized effects of land‐use change. However, the interplay between community thermophilization driven by temporal warming in global climate and spatial warming in ...

Meta‐analysis on effects of Bt‐maize on nontarget invertebrates – Data transportability across continents

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 1, Page 365-376, January 2026.
Maize varieties producing insecticidal proteins from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) have become an important component of integrated pest management worldwide. For regulatory approval of such plants, risks to the environment need to be assessed. To make such assessments less expensive and time‐consuming, conclusions drawn from data collected in one region
