Saproxylic insects and fungi in deciduous forests along a rural–urban gradient
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 11, Issue 4, Page 1634-1652, February 2021., 2021 We assessed the effects of urbanization, forest size and forest site characteristics on saproxylic insects and fungi using freshly cut beech and oak branches. We found that the degree of urbanization, forest site and branch characteristics can impact the number of individuals of several saproxylic insect groups and the number of fungal OTUs found on ...

Refining the phylogeny of Crambidae with complete sampling of subfamilies (Lepidoptera, Pyraloidea)
Zoologica Scripta, Volume 50, Issue 1, Page 84-99, January 2021., 2021 Abstract Crambidae is a group of moths with more than 10,000 species occurring worldwide that evolved diverse morphological and ecological habits. They can be best recognized by morphological characters of the adult tympanal organ and larval chaetotaxy. We present the first molecular phylogeny of Crambidae including all subfamilies and most tribes.

Herbivory meets fungivory: insect herbivores feed on plant pathogenic fungi for their own benefit
Ecology Letters, Volume 23, Issue 7, Page 1073-1084, July 2020., 2020 Here we show that gypsy moth caterpillars prefer to feed and perform better on black poplar foliage infected by plant pathogenic fungi in comparison to uninfected foliage. The caterpillars selectively consume fungal tissue, which is stimulated by the sugar alcohol mannitol, found in much higher concentration in fungal tissue and infected leaves than in
