The conservatism of prairie pollinators according to experts and empiricism
We derived ecological conservatism values for prairie pollinators using expert opinion and analysis of remnant fidelity. Expert values were potentially biased and struggled to differentiate between remnant and non‐remnant prairie sites Empirical values showed advantages for pollinator‐based site assessment and prioritization in prairie regions ...

Coloured canopy Malaise traps, branch sampling and caterpillar traps detected most BOLD‐BINs and showed the highest cost‐efficiency in capturing flying insects across land use types, in singular and combined use. Caterpillar traps were particularly effective in forests and detected far more taxa than only Lepidopterans.

Genetic and phenotypic responses to habitat fragmentation in a European harvester ant
Our work highlights the use of multiple approaches to evaluate species responses to habitat fragmentation. Less allelic richness in habitats with fewer ant nests and reduced heterozygosity with less allelic richness indicated inbreeding; smaller gyne mesosoma size in less connected habitats indicated reduced flight ability.

Minimising insect mortality during grassland mowing: The potential of insect chasing devices
Insect chasing devices have a great potential to deter arthropods prior to mowing, thereby reducing mortality. The effectiveness of mechanical flushing bars is limited and depends on driving speed, vegetation structure and species composition. The blowing device is the most independent of external factors and therefore the most effective.
