Diverse Effects of a Seven-Year Experimental Grassland Fragmentation on Major Invertebrate Groups. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Habitat fragmentation is a major driver of biodiversity loss, but observed effects vary and may depend on the group examined. Time since fragmentation may explain some differences between taxonomical groups, as some species and thus species composition ...

Demography of some non-native isopods (Crustacea, Isopoda, Oniscidea) in a Mid-Atlantic forest, USA [PDF]
, 2015 Introduced species dominate the terrestrial isopod fauna in most inland habitats of North America, including urban landscapes. These non-native species are often very abundant and thus potentially play a significant role in detritus processing.

Succession in harvestman (Opiliones) communities within an abandoned sand quarry in Belgium [PDF]
, 2017 Sand mining strongly alters the existing landscape, transforming an area into a mosaic of native (sand deposits) and foreign soils, strongly influencing biotic development.

ICOPP Report: Can the range contribute to the nutritional needs of organic pigs and poultry? [PDF]
, 2014 On-farm habitats, including woodlands, agroforestry, headlands, field margins and agri-environment scheme options such as game bird cover strips, support a wide diversity of floral and faunal resources that may provide opportunities to enhance feed ...

A globally influential area‐condition metric is a poor proxy for invertebrate biodiversity
Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 10, Page 2529-2540, October 2025.Our results highlight the need to incorporate factors beyond habitat type and condition into site evaluations, and to complement metric use with species‐based surveys. Abstract There is increasing demand for standardised, easy‐to‐use metrics to assess progress towards achieving biodiversity targets and the effectiveness of ecological compensation ...

BNC! Handle with care! Spelling and tagging errors in the BNC [PDF]
, 2007 "You loose your no-claims bonus," instead of "You lose your no-claims bonus," is an example of a real-word spelling error. One way to enable a spellchecker to detect such errors is to prime it with information about likely features of the context for ...

Infection dynamics of endosymbionts that manipulate arthropod reproduction
Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 5, Page 1787-1812, October 2025.ABSTRACT A large proportion of arthropod species are infected with endosymbionts, some of which selfishly alter host reproduction. The currently known forms of parasitic reproductive manipulations are male‐killing, feminization, cytoplasmic incompatibility, parthenogenesis induction and distortion of sex allocation.

Biodiversity in mountain soils above the treeline
Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 5, Page 1877-1949, October 2025.ABSTRACT Biological diversity in mountain ecosystems has been increasingly studied over the last decade. This is also the case for mountain soils, but no study to date has provided an overall synthesis of the current state of knowledge. Here we fill this gap with a first global analysis of published research on cryptogams, microorganisms, and fauna in ...
