Decline of insects and arachnids driven by nutrient enrichment: A meta-analysis. [PDF]
Ecology, 2023 Abstract Recent studies have documented global declines in insects and their relatives, but the exact mechanisms explaining these patterns are not fully understood. A potential driver underlying arthropod population declines is increases in anthropogenic inputs of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P). Here, we synthesize the effects of N, P, and combined N +

Descriptions of a new genus and a new species, Grylloprimevala jilina (Grylloblattidae) from China. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2023 A new species, Grylloprimevala jilina Zhou & Ren sp. nov. assigned to a new genus Grylloprimevala Zhou & Ren gen. nov. (Grylloblattodea), is described and defined using specimens from a natural cave in the primeval forest of Jilin Province, China. We integrated morphological, behavioral, and molecular evidence to describe the new species and genus. Our

Exceptional endemicity of Aotearoa New Zealand biota shows how taxa dispersal traits, but not phylogeny, correlate with global species richness. [PDF]
J R Soc N ZABSTRACT Species’ with more limited dispersal and consequently less gene flow are more likely to form new spatially segregated species and thus contribute disproportionally to endemic biota and global species richness. Aotearoa New Zealand has exceptional endemicity, with 52% of its 54,000 named species endemic, including 32%, 39% and 68% for ...

Termite nest evolution fostered social parasitism by termitophilous rove beetles. [PDF]
Evolution, 2022 Abstract Colonies of social insects contain large amounts of resources often exploited by specialized social parasites. Although some termite species host numerous parasitic arthropod species, called termitophiles, others host none. The reason for this large variability remains unknown. Here, we report that the evolution of termitophily in rove beetles

Weighing the risks and benefits of flowering early in the spring for the woody perennial Prunus pumila. [PDF]
Am J BotAbstract Premise There are advantages to flowering early in the spring, including greater pollinator fidelity and longer fruit maturation time. But plant phenology has advanced in recent years, making many plants vulnerable to freezing damage from late frosts.

Ecosphere, Volume 13, Issue 6, June 2022., 2022 Abstract Hurricanes alter forest habitat by opening the canopy and depositing fresh wood and leaves. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the effects of hurricane and drought‐driven changes to forests on green litter decomposition, invertebrate communities, and nutrient mineralization over a short period (6 months) after disturbance.

A remarkable legion of guests: Diversity and host specificity of army ant symbionts
Molecular Ecology, Volume 30, Issue 20, Page 5229-5246, October 2021., 2021 Abstract Tropical rainforests are among the most diverse biomes on Earth. While species inventories are far from complete for any tropical rainforest, even less is known about the intricate species interactions that form the basis of these ecological communities.
