ABSTRACT Actions for ecological restoration under the Great Green Wall (GGW) initiative in the northern Sahel have been plant focused, paying scant attention to plant–animal interactions that are essential to ecosystem functioning. Calls to accelerate implementation of the GGW make it timely to develop a more solid conceptual foundation for restoration

A remarkable new species of Zethus Fabricius (Hymenoptera, Vespidae, Eumeninae) from Costa Rica [PDF]

DNA metabarcoding is utilized for efficient bulk sample assessment, yet limited research addresses disparities in species identification methods. We compared diverse clustering and filtering techniques in non‐destructive metabarcoding approach to morphological identification of Brachycera and Hymenoptera.

By predicting the extent of a biological invasion in the absence of timely interventions and comparing this to the current distribution of the yellow‐legged hornet, we found that management measures implemented in these countries appear to have been effective in limiting the spread of the species in Europe.

Pollinator-attracting semiochemicals of the wasp-flower Epipactis helleborine [PDF]
The orchid genus Epipactis is represented by 25 species in Europe (Richards 1982). Epipactis helleborine (L.) Crantz is the most common and widely distributed species of the genus (Wiefelspütz 1970), and is a prime example for wasp-flowers, because it is

How to Identify Priority Sites for Invasive Alien Species Policy and Management
ABSTRACT Aim Identifying priority species and introduction pathways has long been a goal of national and international policy for reducing and mitigating the impacts of invasive alien species (IAS). Although identifying priority sites for invasion management is included within Target 6 of the Kunming–Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, methods for ...
