Changing climates and environments within the complex Middle to Late Pleistocene fill of an overdeepened valley at Niederweningen, Switzerland

Boreas, EarlyView.
Glacially overdeepened valleys in the northern Alpine Foreland preserve Middle to Late Pleistocene sedimentary sequences that may serve as valuable archives for reconstructing past environmental changes in response to shifts in climate. This study presents a multidisciplinary analysis of two sediment cores from the overdeepened Wehntal Valley at ...

Effects of restoration practices on biodiversity in temperate and boreal forests

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Several restoration practices are used to mitigate and compensate for the negative effects of large‐scale forestry on biodiversity in temperate and boreal forests. A comprehensive synthesis of the benefits of these practices across taxa is missing. We conducted a systematic review and meta‐analysis on this topic.

Small datasets support conservation: Improving detectability for the elusive rusty‐spotted cat

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
In western circles, the value of small, locally specific data is increasingly under‐appreciated and undervalued by research metrics indexing research impact. We report novel data for the elusive, threatened, rusty‐spotted cat (Prionailurus rubiginosus) whose fundamental ecology remains virtually unknown.

Change in habitat over time for the rare, endemic Pediocactus paradinei

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Pediocactus paradinei is a rare endemic cactus on the Colorado Plateau that may be increasingly vulnerable to ongoing ecological and climatic change. In 2022, we resampled ecological monitoring plots originally surveyed in 2005 to assess changes in vegetation, habitat conditions, and characteristics related to pollinator habitat across the species ...

A First Indication That Rainforest Vine Proliferation Does Not Enhance Predator–Prey Interactions on the Forest Floor

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Vine proliferation is a widespread consequence of tropical forest disturbance, yet its effects on ground‐level predator–prey interactions remain poorly understood. Using plasticine caterpillars deployed on the rainforest floor in north Queensland, Australia, we show that overall predation rates were unaffected by vine‐to‐tree ratio. Instead, fine‐scale

Forest edges buffer effects of agricultural management on bee–plant interaction networks

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Agricultural management effects: Organic and conventional crop margins host similar bee and plant species, but network structure differs: organic farms exhibit higher interaction diversity, conventional farms higher connectance. Role of forest edges: Native forest edges stabilize bee–plant networks by providing continuous floral resources and suitable ...

Not all crickets are equal: selective shrike predation highlights the conservation value of diverse arthropod communities to grassland birds

Ibis, EarlyView.
Understanding dietary preferences and prey selection is pivotal for interpreting the ecology and conservation needs of threatened species. We investigated the diet composition and prey selection of the Red‐backed Shrike Lanius collurio in a montane grassland of the central Italian Apennines, with special regard to sex‐related differences and the ...

Sheep and cattle grazing regimes differentially affect ground beetle and ant communities in Mediterranean cork oak woodlands

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Sheep and cattle grazing significantly shape ant and ground beetle species composition in Mediterranean cork oak woodlands, promoting higher diversity by increasing habitat heterogeneity. Ground beetles and ants reflect changes in grazing regimes, with sheep‐grazed areas showing the highest diversity, highlighting their utility in ecosystem monitoring.
