Bridging biodiversity and gardening: Unravelling the interplay of socio-demographic factors, garden practices, and garden characteristics

This study examines biodiversity-friendly gardening practices in Hungary, finding widespread pesticide use and varying practices based on socio-demographic factors and location.

Gut microbiota assemblages of generalist predators are driven by local- and landscape-scale factors

This study examines how environmental factors shape spider gut microbiota composition using high-throughput sequencing, identifying local and landscape-scale drivers.

Edge effects constraint endemic but not introduced arthropod species in a pristine forest on Terceira (Azores, Portugal)

This study examines how forest edges affect arthropod communities in a pristine Azorean forest, finding that endemic species are more constrained by edges than introduced species.

Contrasting roles of landscape compositions in shaping functional traits of arthropod community in subtropical vegetable fields

The paper evaluates how different habitat compositions affect functional traits of arthropod communities in subtropical vegetable fields, finding that forest and grassland habitats enhance functional diversity while non-brassica plantations and water bodies reduce it.

DNA metabarcoding of gut contents reveals key habitat and seasonal drivers of trophic networks involving generalist predators in agricultural landscapes

This study uses DNA metabarcoding to analyze gut contents of spiders in agricultural landscapes, revealing how environmental factors influence their trophic interactions and diet composition.

The influence of biotic and abiotic drivers on arthropod co-occurrence network topology in native forest remnants in the Azores

This study examines how abiotic factors and exotic species influence arthropod co-occurrence network topology in Azorean forest remnants, revealing network degradation and niche occupation by exotics.

Plant growers' environmental consciousness may not be enough to mitigate pollinator declines: a questionnaire-based case study in Hungary

This study surveys Hungarian farmers and gardeners to assess pesticide use and its impact on pollinators, finding that pesticide use persists despite environmental awareness.

Effects of cover crops on beetle assemblages in tea plantations

The paper examines how different groundcover treatments affect beetle abundance, diversity, and biomass in tea plantations, finding higher species richness and abundance in certain treatments.

Landscape composition mediates suppression of major pests by natural enemies in conventional cruciferous vegetables

This study shows that increasing semi-natural habitats in conventional cruciferous vegetable fields improves pest suppression by natural enemies, with effects varying by pest type and landscape scale.

Grazing impacts on ground beetle (Coleoptera: Carabidae) abundance and diversity on a semi-natural grassland

The paper examines how different grazing intensities affect ground beetle abundance and diversity in semi-natural grasslands, finding lower abundance in ungrazed plots compared to grazed ones, but no differences among grazed treatments.

A comparative analysis reveals irreproducibility in searches of scientific literature

This study shows that search results from different databases vary by location and environment, highlighting the need for more consistent search practices in scientific research.

Does voluntary wheel running exist in Neotropical wild mammals?

The paper investigates whether wild Neotropical mammals voluntarily use running wheels in a natural setting, finding significantly fewer instances compared to urban settings.
