The role of generalist predators in biological control remains controversial as they may not
only reduce pest populations but also disrupt biocontrol exerted by other natural enemies …

Entomophagous arthropods can provide valuable biological control services, but they need
to fulfill their life cycle in agricultural landscapes often dominated by ephemeral and …

Insect invasions, the establishment and spread of nonnative insects in new regions, can
have extensive economic and environmental consequences. Increased global connectivity …

Animal behaviour can lead to varying levels of risk, and an individual's physical condition
can alter the potential costs and benefits of undertaking risky behaviours. How risk‐taking …

Developmental stressors are increasingly recognised for their pervasive influence on the
ecology and evolution of animals. In particular, many studies have focused on how …

Consumers feeding at the aquatic–terrestrial ecosystem interface may obtain a mixture of
aquatic and terrestrial diet resources that vary in nutritional composition. However, in lake …

Aim The continuous spread of invasive species is attributed to demographic processes and
high dispersal rates. Both can change and evolve during range expansion, eventually …

Freshwater ecosystems are coupled with their riparian area. Emerging insects are prey for
predators in the riparian zone, enriching the terrestrial ecosystem with energy and nutrients …

Sexual reproduction is pervasive in animals and has led to the evolution of sexual
dimorphism. In most animals, males and females show marked differences in primary and …

Evolution of adaptation requires predictability and recurrence of functional contexts. Yet
organisms live in multifaceted environments that are dynamic and ever changing, making it …
