Limited Differences in Insect Herbivory on Young White Spruce Growing in Small Open Plantations and under Natural Canopies in Boreal Mixed Forests

Author(s): Yataco AP; Noor S; Girona MM; Work T; Despland E;

In managed boreal forests, both plantations and natural regeneration are used to re-establish a cohort of conifer trees following harvest or disturbance. Young trees in open plantations generally grow more rapidly than under forest canopies, but more rapid growth could be compromised by greater insect damage. We compared insect damage on white spruce (Pic ...

Global meta-analysis of urbanization stressors on insect abundance, richness, and traits

Author(s): Vaz S; Manes S; Khattar G; Mendes M; Silveira L; Mendes E; de Morais Rodrigues E; Gama-Maia D; Lorini ML; Macedo M; Paiva PC;

Anthropic stressors are among the greatest concerns in nature conservation. Among these, deforestation and urban expansion are major drivers of habitat loss, which is a major threat to biodiversity. Insects, the largest and most abundant group of animals, are declining at alarming rates. However, ...

Can species naming drive scientific attention? A perspective from plant-feeding arthropods

Author(s): Mlynarek JJ; Cull C; Parachnowitsch AL; Vickruck JL; Heard SB;

How do researchers choose their study species? Some choices are based on ecological or economic importance, some on ease of study, some on tradition-but could the name of a species influence researcher decisions? We asked whether phytophagous arthropod species named after their host plants were more likely to be assayed for host-associated genetic differe ...
