Fly me to the canopy: Diptera communities in oak forest crowns as bioindicators of stand decline

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Diptera diversity: Oak decline increases the overall Diptera diversity, particularly in saproxylic and floricolous guilds, likely due to more open canopies and greater deadwood and floral resource availability. Family responses: Dolichopodidae, Empididae, Hybotidae and Anthomyiidae thrive in declining stands, whereas Mycetophilidae and other fungus ...

Concentrated vulnerabilities in bees: Diet specialists have smaller geographic ranges

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Niche breadth theory predicts a positive association between range size and diet breadth, which could concentrate risk among specialists, but this is not well established for bees. Using global occurrence data (range size) and natural history collection‐derived pollen data (diet breadth), we compared these traits in 633 species from six families and ...

The influence of cutting height on arthropods in farm grassland

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Mowing at a cutting height of 13 cm slightly reduced the immediate negative impact of mowing compared to mowing at a height of 7 cm. Medium‐term effects overrode this benefit: the number of vegetation‐dwelling arthropods remained strongly reduced two and four weeks after mowing, regardless of the cutting height.

Canadian boreal restored mining sites sustain diverse pollinator communities, including species of conservation concern

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Revegetated mine tailing storage facilities support pollinator abundance, diversity, richness and evenness comparable to recently logged boreal forest sites. Agronomic and spontaneous revegetation strategies host similar pollinator and Bombus community structures, indicating multiple rehabilitation approaches can effectively restore pollinator habitat.

Introduction to the Paper and Potter Wasps of Eastern Kentucky

Wasps are a possible surrogate to measure biodiversity of an ecosystem because they can be extremely diverse, most requiring a very specific niche. Many factors such as surrounding vegetation, potential prey availability, and potential hosts impact ...
