Using total abundance as a proxy for wild bee species richness: A practical tool for non‐experts

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, EarlyView.
The use of a simple but effective proxy could be an important starting point for the expansion of wild bee monitoring initiatives at the regional scale, particularly given the growing involvement of non‐specialists. We provided here a simple implementation framework to use this proxy in rapid biodiversity assessments, such as the evaluation of payment ...

Target enrichment of ultraconserved elements from arthropods provides a genomic perspective on relationships among Hymenoptera

open access: yes, 2014
Gaining a genomic perspective on phylogeny requires the collection of data from many putatively independent loci collected across the genome. Among insects, an increasingly common approach to collecting this class of data involves transcriptome ...

Mixed plant and arthropod biodiversity responses to solar park establishment on former agricultural lands

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, EarlyView.
Our results suggest that while biodiversity can increase in solar parks post‐conversion compared to previous land use, not all taxonomic groups benefit from the land use change. Potential benefits for certain groups (particularly for butterflies and soil‐emergent arthropods) are likely lost due to disturbance during land conversion and solar panel ...

Effect of Spiroplasma infection on the mating behavior of Glossina fuscipes fuscipes

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Tsetse flies are insects of significant public health and zoonotic importance as they are the main vectors of African trypanosomes. To date, an effective vaccine is unavailable and efforts to limit the spread of the disease primarily rely on controlling the tsetse populations.

Stress in dipteran insects mass‐reared for sterile insect technique applications

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
The connections between biotic and abiotic stress affecting mass‐reared dipteran insects and the associated stress and immunological responses. Numbers indicate the order in which the topics are discussed in this review. Abstract Stress may be viewed as the disturbance of homeostasis of an organism.

The predatory behavior of ants: an impressive panoply of morphological adaptations

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
This review focuses on predation in ants, showing the wide diversity of cases from solitary foraging to group hunting tactics, as well as the evolution of mandible shape frequently adapted to capture specific prey. Although most ants are generalist feeders, finding their sugary substances directly on plants or indirectly via sap‐sucking insects, some ...
