Abstract:
... Fires can heavily impact forest ecosystems but fire consequences for animal communities at burned and control sites are rarely investigated in natural forests. Here we present a 10-year study of post-fire beetle succession in natural ecosystem of Białowieża Primeval Forest, Poland, being a hotspot for beetle fauna. We sampled beetles at burned and unburned (control) sites and compared local alpha ...

Abstract:
... We describe 2 artificial stream experiments that exposed aquatic insect communities to zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), and cadmium (year 2014) and to Zn, Cu, and nickel (year 2015). The testing strategy was to concurrently expose insect communities to single metals and mixtures. Single‐metal tests were repeated to evaluate the reproducibility of the methods and year‐to‐year variability. Metals were strong ...

Abstract:
... Major environmental changes in the history of life on Earth have given rise to novel habitats, which gradually accumulate species. Human‐induced change is no exception, yet the rules governing species accumulation in anthropogenic habitats are not fully developed. Here we propose that nonnative plants introduced to Great Britain may function as analogues of novel anthropogenic habitats for insects ...

Abstract:
... Mating disruption and mass trapping based on insect sex pheromones have been used to effectively control Grapholita molesta (Busck) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae). However, due to the different disruption intensities of these two approaches, few reports have evaluated the differences in their ecological recovery in orchards. We investigated the dynamics of major Lepidopteran pests; infestation pattern ...

Abstract:
... KEY MESSAGE : Decline can affect the structure, resources, and microclimates of the forest canopy, and potentially have cascading effects on canopy-dwelling species. Our survey shows that an oak decline can promote saproxylic beetles, especially xylophagous ones, and generalist phyllophagous weevils. However, it negatively affects specialist leaf-eating species and has no effect on seed-eating wee ...

Abstract:
... Accelerating declines in biodiversity worldwide have accentuated the need for conservation actions. Unfortunately, the decline is unlikely to be reversed by traditional conservation alone, e.g., green tree retention at clear-felling and setting aside protected areas for free development. Instead the practice of ecological restoration has come to play an ever increasing role. Using a before-after c ...

Abstract:
... Insect–plant interactions occur in several ways and have considerable environmental and ecological importance. Many feeding strategies have evolved among herbivorous insects, with host–herbivore systems likely being influenced by trophobionts with ants. We investigated how these interactions vary across elevation gradients by evaluating the structure of the herbivorous insect community and ants as ...

Abstract:

As these specific responses depend on biophysical and behavioral traits of organisms, it is expected that the occurrence of species with particular traits will vary between fragment edges and interiors. Edges are also known to often harbor many invasive speci ...

Abstract:
... Boreal forests have been intensively managed, influencing the spatiotemporal occurrence of dead wood, and leading to changes in saproxylic species assemblages. Some particular traits, such as habitat specialization, can be expected to make species sensitive to alterations in the amount, dynamics and heterogeneity of dead-wood habitats. We compared the saproxylic beetle assemblages of 320 dead stan ...
