Cladistics, EarlyView.Compared to plastid genomes, plant mitochondrial genomes have been less frequently used for species discrimination and phylogenetic studies due to assembly challenges, lower substitution rates and rapid structural evolution. However, this study demonstrates that mitochondrial genome fragments can be valuable for both molecular species identification ...

Deterring egg predators with faecal strings is more efficient when eggs are aggregated
Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.Egg aggregation and faecal strings interact to reduce predation risk. Faecal strings enhance egg survival, but only at higher egg densities. Multiple antipredator traits are needed for effective egg defence. Abstract Predation can be a great source of mortality for insect eggs. Thus, female insects use multiple strategies to reduce it.

The conservatism of prairie pollinators according to experts and empiricism
Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.We derived ecological conservatism values for prairie pollinators using expert opinion and analysis of remnant fidelity. Expert values were potentially biased and struggled to differentiate between remnant and non‐remnant prairie sites Empirical values showed advantages for pollinator‐based site assessment and prioritization in prairie regions ...
