Disturbance Ecology
This edited work presents a multi-faceted view on the causes and consequences of disturbance in ecosystems. Vegetation can be affected by a variety...

Aridity, but not disturbance, reduces the specialization and modularity of plant–insect herbivore interaction networks in Caatinga dry forest
AbstractPlant–herbivore networks comprise over 40% of the global biodiversity and are negatively impacted by habitat loss and fragmentation. However,...

Assessment of large-scale multiple forest disturbance susceptibilities with AutoML framework: an Izmir Regional Forest Directorate case
Disturbances such as forest fires, intense winds, and insect damage exert strong impacts on forest ecosystems by sha** their structure and growth...

Long-term effects of succession, climate change and insect disturbance on oak-pine forest composition in the U.S. Central Hardwood Region
Oak-pine forests in the U.S. Central Hardwood Forests are recovering from exploitative harvesting and clearing in the early twentieth century and are...

Enhancing forest insect outbreak detection by integrating tree-ring and climate variables
Annual tree rings are widely recognized as valuable tools for quantifying and reconstructing historical forest disturbances. However, the influence...

Millennial-Scale Disturbance History of the Boreal Zone
Long-term disturbance histories, reconstructed using diverse paleoecological tools, provide high-quality information about pre-observational periods....

Insect Ecology
Insect ecology is the study of how insects interact with the environment. The environment consists of both physical characteristics (abiotic) and...

Insect Diversity Changes in Mexican Agro-landscapes
Agro-landscapes are the workspace of agriculture and the living space of the rural population: they can support a rich insect diversity. Yet, some...

Exploring potential relationships between acoustic indices and ecosystem functions: a test on insect herbivory
Biodiversity loss is a global concern. Current technological advances allow the development of novel tools that can monitor biodiversity remotely...

Invertebrate-Mediated Ecosystem Processes are Resilient to Disturbance Across a Land-Use Gradient in Borneo
A fundamental challenge for ecologists is to evaluate the effects of anthropogenic disturbance on ecosystem processes and functions. Tropical...

Disturbances and Disturbance Regimes
Disturbance ecology is an expansive topic complicated by the reality that it is a scientific discipline that also directly engages the general...

Insect community reassembly in a spatiotemporally heterogenous restoration landscape
ContextAnthropogenic habitat degradation resulting from agricultural, mining, and urban development is a leading cause of global insect declines, but...

Forest Insect—Plant Interactions
Insects and plants dominate terrestrial ecosystems in terms of both species numbers and biomass. Ecological relationships between insects and plants...

Spruce dieback as chance for biodiversity: standing deadwood promotes beetle diversity in post-disturbance stands in western Germany
Anthropogenic climate change poses a major threat to ecosystems and their biodiversity. Forests, for example, are suffering from climate-amplified...

Identifying insect and arachnid indicator taxa for impacts and management in coastal landscapes
Insects and arachnids are abundant and diverse, respond to key human impacts and support a diversity of key ecological functions. They are therefore...

Resilient fruit-feeding butterfly assemblages across a Caatinga dry forest chronosequence submitted to chronic anthropogenic disturbance
AbstractInterest in forest regeneration has increased as secondary forests in regeneration process are cited as the forests of the future. However,...

Integrating water and insect pest management in agriculture
Water and herbivory are two of the most crucial factors limiting plant growth, and their management is a critical part of crop production. However,...

The pivotal roles of gut microbiota in insect plant interactions for sustainable pest management
The gut microbiota serves as a critical “organ” in the life cycle of animals, particularly in the intricate interplay between herbivorous pests and...

Disturbances and Disturbance Regimes
Disturbance ecology is a field of ecology, which includes vegetation ecology, ecosystem dynamics, and biogeochemistry of nutrient cycles. Here,...
