Surface temperature and shrub cover drive ground beetle (Coleoptera: Carabidae) assemblages in short-rotation coppices
- Pages: 400-410
- First Published: 05 April 2021

- Short-rotation coppices shift carabid communities towards forest species assemblages, while decreasing species numbers and abundances of open habitat species. This leads to a decline in gamma diversity.
- We identified shrub cover and temperature as main environmental drivers for changes in species numbers, abundances and rarefied richness. Herb cover showed only marginal effects.
- We conclude that gap implementation increases gamma diversity, due to the co-existence of open habitat and closed habitat specialists. However, continuous management of gaps (e.g. removal of herb layer) might be necessary to uphold those initial positive effects.

Effects of landscape structure and climate seasonality on pollen intake by honeybees in Neotropical highland agroecosystems
- Pages: 452-462
- First Published: 28 April 2021

Pollen collected by honeybees was sampled in a Neotropical highland region of Colombia, and the effects of landscape diversity, forest area and mean monthly precipitation on the pollen intake by honeybees were evaluated for all pollen species together and pollen species segregated according to forest and anthropic areas. Honeybees were found to be much more associated with anthropic than forest pollen species regardless of landscape structure or precipitation. Although pollen intake was positively affected by forest area and landscape diversity, it was minimally affected by precipitation.

Resolving the identification of weak-flying insects during flight: a coupling between rigorous data processing and biology
- Pages: 489-505
- First Published: 02 June 2021

Data processing pipeline for the automatic identifcation of weak-flying insects. Insects fly through an opto-acoustic sensor triggering an audio recording to be made of the sound of their flight. Data are then processed to enable feature extraction. These features are fed into classification algorithms, namely random forests, which are then checked for validity before being sent to the end user for interpretation.

Prediction of the potential global distribution of the Asian longhorned beetle Anoplophora glabripennis (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) under climate change
- Pages: 557-568
- First Published: 16 July 2021

- Under the global expansion of Asian longhorned beetle (ALB), it is significant to predict the potential distribution for taking accurate and efficient quarantine and prevention measures thus reducing the possible loss.
- Based on its ecological niche and future climate data, ALB was projected to distribute in all continents except Antarctica currently and the future.
- The suitability of ALB in high latitude regions increases with climate change, affected by the regional different restriction from the abundance of host plants.
