Arthropod community composition in urban landscapes is shaped by both environmental filtering and dispersal limitation

The paper examines how environmental filtering and dispersal limitation shape arthropod communities in urban landscapes, finding both factors are important, with dispersal playing a larger role after accounting for landscape connectivity.

Comparing multiscale, presence-only habitat suitability models created with structured survey data and community science data for a rare warbler species at the southern range margin

This study compares habitat suitability models for Golden-winged Warblers using structured survey data and community science data, finding similar performance and identifying road density as a key landscape variable.

Climatic niche conservatism in a clade of disease vectors (Diptera: Phlebotominae)

This study examines climatic niche conservatism in sandflies, finding strong phylogenetic signals and limited transitions between tropical and temperate niches across vector and non-vector species.

A simulation study of the use of temporal occupancy for identifying core and transient species

This study simulates how temporal occupancy affects classification of core and transient species, finding that detection rates and habitat heterogeneity influence error rates.

Genetic diversity and thermal performance in invasive and native populations of African fig flies

This study shows invasive Zaprionus indianus populations have lower genetic diversity than native populations but maintain higher diversity than non-invasive species, and exhibit a broad thermal niche with no performance difference between invasive and native populations.

Caterpillars Count! A citizen science project for monitoring foliage arthropod abundance and phenology

The paper evaluates the effectiveness of citizen science protocols in monitoring arthropod phenology and density, finding high accuracy and consistency between citizen and trained scientists.
