Can roadside habitat lead monarchs on a route to recovery?Journal of Insect Conservation - Tập 20 - Trang 1047-1057 - 2016
Kyle Kasten, Carl Stenoien, Wendy Caldwell, Karen S. Oberhauser
The Eastern North American monarch butterfly population has severely declined over the past decade. The decreasing availability of larval host plants (milkweeds) due to the use of herbicide-tolerant crops has been implicated in this decline. Roadsides could provide additional habitat for monarchs. In this study we document the occurrence of milkweed and monarchs on roadsides, and discuss whether r...... hiện toàn bộ
Habitat Fragmentation and Burying Beetle Abundance and SuccessJournal of Insect Conservation - Tập 4 - Trang 245-252 - 2000
Stephen T. Trumbo, Philip L. Bloch
Four species of burying beetle (Nicrophorus marginatus F., N. tomentosus Weber, N. orbicollis Say and N. defodiens Mannerheim) are attracted to small, fresh mouse carcasses in northern Michigan. The number of burying beetles and their success (burial of a carcass) were greater in woodlands than in edge or field habitats. Species diversity was least in open fields as assessed by two different indic...... hiện toàn bộ
Forecasts of butterfly future richness change in the southwest Mediterranean. The role of sampling effort and non-climatic variablesJournal of Insect Conservation - Tập 26 - Trang 639-650 - 2022

We estimated the potential impact of Global Warming on the species richness of Iberian butterflies. First, we determined the grid size that maximized the balance between geographic resolution, area coverage and environmental representativeness. Contemporary richness was modelled in several alternative ways that differed in how sampling effort was controlled for, and in whether the non-climatic var...... hiện toàn bộ

Microhabitat mosaics are key to the survival of an endangered ground beetle (Carabus nitens) in its post-industrial refugiaJournal of Insect Conservation - Tập 22 - Trang 321-328 - 2018

Biota dependant on early seral stages or frequently disturbed habitats belong to the most rapidly declining components of European biodiversity. This is also the case for Carabus nitens, which is threatened across Western and Central Europe. We studied one of the last remaining populations of this ground beetle in the Czech Republic, which inhabits post-extraction peat bogs. In line with findings ...... hiện toàn bộ
