Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Illegal wildlife trade (IWT) is one of the largest global illegal activities, and it negatively affects biodiversity and sustainable development worldwide. DNA barcoding coupled with high‐throughput sequencing (i.e., metabarcoding) is useful in identifying taxa affected by IWT and has been used routinely for decades.

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.We determined the trophic associations among fig wasp species associated with Ficus citrifolia by integrating gall morphology, the temporal sequence of wasp colonization, and oviposition behaviour. Dissection of galls produced by four gall‐inducing species at a late developmental phase enabled direct identification of occupants and inference of host ...

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.We experimentally manipulated top‐down (predator exclusion) and bottom‐up (fertilisation) forces in a temperate forest understory to test effects on arthropod densities, body sizes and herbivory. Predator exclusion had no detectable effect on arthropod density, herbivory damage or body size, whereas fertilisation increased herbivory damage and ...

PERIPHERY TO CENTRE STAGE: THE SARRASANI CIRCUS IN WEIMAR GERMANY
German Life and Letters, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The modern European circus was more than just entertainment: it was a powerful platform where fantasies of empire, ideas of national identity, and notions of racial difference came together and were put on public display. In interwar Germany, the Sarrasani Circus — the largest circus enterprise in the country at the time — built on the legacy ...

Cowbirds use conspecific social information to detect host nests in the wild
Ibis, EarlyView.Recent work shows that hosts of avian brood parasites use social information to increase egg rejection rates, but fewer studies explore how parasites themselves use such information to detect host nests in the wild. To determine whether wild Brown‐headed Cowbirds Molothrus ater use social information to detect host nests, we measured how individual ...

Ibis, EarlyView.Free‐living birds need to acquire enough food to fulfil their energetic needs, which may require more effort in habitats with less favourable conditions. Therefore, to maintain their necessary energy intake, birds need to adjust their foraging behaviour in response to varying habitat conditions.

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.The stag beetle Lucanus cervus is a European Protected Species and declining dead wood specialist, but long‐term population trends in the United Kingdom remain largely unknown. We used 82,883 citizen science records and historic data from museum records to compare geographic distribution trends, and results suggest a broadly stable distribution over ...
