“Alien versus predator”: predatory effect of coccinellid Exochomus quadripustulatus on the scale insect Toumeyella parvicornis. An open‐field experimentation on the Pinus pinea of Rome

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
The release of gravid Exochomus quadripustulatus females proved to be effective in containing Toumeyella parvicornis infestations on stone pine trees, under open‐field condition. The ladybugs caused a lower infestation level compared to the trees that did not receive any ladybugs during the observation season.

Habitat Features, Coyotes, and Humans Drive Diel Activity Variation Among Sympatric Mammals

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We found that multiple mammal species show considerable variation in diel activity in response to several factors, with biotic variables (habitat features and the presence of coyotes Canis latrans) having the strongest overall effects. Our results have important implications for trophic dynamics. Future studies will need to account for these underlying

Productivity and Human Disturbance Shape Contrasting Distribution Patterns of Core and Occasional Bird Species in a Subtropical Forest Reserve in Southern China

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Bird diversity hot spots in a recovering subtropical forest do not align with protected area zoning, instead occurring in experimental zones with low‐intensity human activity. This mismatch is driven by contrasting responses: Abundant core species are supported by productivity, while many species of low frequency are attracted to the habitat ...

Contrasting Responses of Rodents With Different Habitat Associations to Rapid Urbanization in a Chinese Megacity

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Rapid urbanization reshaped rodent populations, morphology, and gut microbiota along an urban–rural gradient. The synanthropic rat (Rattus norvegicus) increased in abundance toward the urban core and exhibited reduced ear and tail length, whereas the farmland mouse (Apodemus agrarius) and woodland rat (Niviventer confucianus) declined.
