Living Beyond the Edge: Impacts of Climate Change on Rock Lizards at the Niche Margin

open access: yesAnimal Conservation, EarlyView.
Climate change threatens ectotherms by disrupting their thermoregulation, pushing populations at the warm edge of their thermal niche towards potential extinction. ABSTRACT Ectotherms are particularly threatened by climate change because they are strictly reliant on environmental conditions for homeostasis.

Living in the Hedge: Farmland Reptile Diversity Is Driven by Hedgerow Structural Complexity and Landscape Connectivity

open access: yesAnimal Conservation, EarlyView.
Agricultural intensification is responsible for biodiversity decline, but high‐quality field margins may mitigate these effects. We studied reptile species richness in a farming landscape in western France with a focus on hedgerows structure and density.

Environmental gradients and carabid beetle diversity: Insights from wildfire and intensive site preparation in a Central European forest

open access: yesAgricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Wildfire and intensive site preparation influence beetle assemblages by shaping habitat heterogeneity, with wildfire fostering biodiversity while disc trenching leads to long‐term species declines due to habitat homogenization. Post‐fire beetle succession follows a predictable trajectory, with early successional species dominating open habitats and ...

In Vitro and In Vivo Effect of Amitraz on Honey Bee Drone Sperm Quality

open access: yesActa Zoologica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Honey bee hive infestation by the ectoparasitic mite, Varroa destructor, has been a major cause of declining populations. Treating such infestations is important for sustainability. Knowledge about the sub‐lethal effects of commonly used acaricides on drone reproductive health, particularly sperm quality, is limited. The effect of in vitro and
