DOI: 10.1007/s42690-021-00493-9
Abstract: The tropical dry forest (TDF) ecosystem is characterised by strong seasonality exasperated periodically by the El Nino/southern oscillation (ENSO). The environment produced by this event could constrain the survival of small organisms, such as insects.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ecolind.2019.03.052
Abstract: Abstract Ailanthus altissima is one of the most global widespread invasive alien species and its effect as habitat transformer requires detailed investigations. In particular, its invasion in natural ecosystems and its effect on local fauna… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/afe.12346
Abstract: Carabid beetles may play a role in the regulation of arable weeds, when seed predation is directly density‐dependent and consumption increases more than proportionally with seed density. We quantified the effect of seed and carabid… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jzo.13179
Abstract: Although most carabids are carnivorous generalists, some species show dietary specializations such as malacophagy, which is characterized by two main strategies of snail predation: entering the shell or breaking it. The shell‐breaking strategy has been… read more here.

DOI: 10.15244/pjoes/80869
Abstract: Metal pollution can drastically decrease the diversity of species of many groups of terrestrial invertebrates. Well-performed reclamation may prevent the loss of species diversity. In this study, we used multivariable statistical methods to describe the… read more here.
