Abstract This review examines the direct effects of climate change on insect herbivores. Temperature is identified as dominant abiotic factor directly affecting herbivorous insects. There little evidence any CO 2 or UVB. Direct impacts precipitation have been largely neglected in current research change. affects development, survival, range and abundance. Species with a large geographical will tend to be less affected. The main effect temperature temperate regions influence winter survival;...

A better, more effective dialogue is needed between biodiversity science and policy to underpin the sustainable use conservation of biodiversity. Many initiatives exist improve communication, but these largely conform a 'linear' or technocratic model communication in which scientific "facts" are transmitted directly advisers "solve problems". While this can help start dialogue, it is, on its own, insufficient, as decision taking complex, iterative often selective information used. Here, we...

Entomology is key to understanding terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems at a time of unprecedented anthropogenic environmental change offers substantial untapped potential benefit humanity in variety ways, from improving agricultural practices managing vector-borne diseases inspiring technological advances.We identified high priority challenges for entomology using an inclusive, open, democratic four-stage prioritisation approach, conducted among the membership affiliates (hereafter...

Carabid beetle assemblages were studied to assess how diversity and community structure varied along a gradient of land‐use. This was composed six 1 km 2 quadrats with an increasing proportion agricultural land reflecting the anthropogenic fragmentation intensification landscapes. species richness abundance predicted peak in most heterogeneous landscape, accord intermediate disturbance hypothesis (IDH), then decline as increased. It also that different landscapes would support communities...

SUMMARY Apterous Sitobion avenae on oats were found to have a higher reproductive rate the ears (5–95 nymphs per day) than young leaves (3–78 day), mature (2–17 or senescent (2–08 day). At each growth stage of host plant large aphids gave birth more small aphids, but same weight different stages had rates. On wheat in field S. less Metopolophium dirhodum leaves. The suitability changed through flowering and ripening stages. During latter part milky‐ripe declined its mortality increased....

Summary Growing pressure on natural resources is leading to more conservation conflicts. Governments and their statutory agencies devote increasing financial human this subject, but tend adopt reactive, ad hoc approaches management. We combined theory empirical data about five conflicts in a transdisciplinary collaboration co‐develop novel decision‐making tool. This tool uses systematic stepwise approach with six distinct decision stages: (i) establishing whether there conflict or an impact;...
