Temperature and water availability drive insect seasonality across a temperate and a tropical region
The more insects there are, the more food there is for insectivores and the higher the
likelihood for insect-associated ecosystem services. Yet, we lack insights into the drivers of …

Optimizing low-cost sampling of pollinator insects in oilseed rape fields
Insects are key pollinators to ecosystem function, but much work remains to determine the
most cost-effective, reliable scheme to monitor them. Pan traps (PT) and flight interception …

Parasitism rate differs between herbivore generations in the univoltine, but not bivoltine, range
With climate change, plant-feeding insects increase their number of annual generations
(voltinism). However, to what degree the emergence of a new herbivore generation affects …
