In the Hawaiian Islands, stemming these losses has proven difficult as the highly specialized avifauna are often impacted – among other things – by poorly understood trophic disruptions as well as persistent climatic shifts. Here we investigate these dynamics by examining the trophic positions of 7 different taxa of producers and consumers across the last century in the subalpine māmane (<em>Sophora chrysophylla</em>) forest ecosystem on the island of Hawaiʻi. From museum collections and contemporary sampling, we analyzed the stable nitrogen (δ¹⁵N) values of producers and consumers to identify trophic and source amino acids and derive trophic enrichment constants specific to this food web. This enables us to reconstruct the diet of the palila (<em>Loxioides bailleui</em>), a critically endangered finch whose population recently declined 90 %. Our results show that from 1890 to 2006, the palila trophic position declined from 2.6 to 2.2, with cascading implications for its diet. Bayesian mixing model reconstructions indicate that palila trophic position changes likely arose from a 76 % decline (69.3 % to 16.6 % of diet) in the consumption of native moth caterpillars, and a 172 % increase (30.7 % to 83.4 %) in native plants. From the available ecosystem variables, exploratory Bayesian multiple regressions selected surface temperature changes, and the interactions of surface temperatures with drought and caterpillar parasitism as the primary drivers of these trophic changes. Despite the predicted increases of warming and drought, management interventions may build resiliency in this unique island ecosystem.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55375,"journal":{"name":"Biological Conservation","volume":"299 ","pages":"Article 110823"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2024-10-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142527241","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Through novel interdisciplinary research that integrates botany, ecology, remote sensing, history, and ethnology, we explored two villages (Radenka, Suvi Do) with different ethnic backgrounds. Our primary objectives were to assess grassland plant diversity, correlate it with applied farming practices, and highlight the importance of interdisciplinary research in conservation of semi-natural grasslands. We focused on vascular plants, bryophytes, and lichens that occur within randomly selected nested plot series, covering seven different spatial scales. The semi-natural grasslands in both villages exhibited remarkable plant diversity compared to other temperate meso-xeric and mesic grasslands in Europe. Integral parts of the historic farming system, such as the ancient practice of spring and autumn grazing of hay meadows, are still preserved there. Similarly, the timing of mowing and grazing based on traditional feasts continues to be observed. However, comparison of management intensity over the last 36 years indicates gradual abandonment in all studied parcels, due to severe depopulation, decline in livestock numbers, and a shift from milk to meat production. We advocate encouraging traditional grassland management practices to maintain high plant diversity.

We used tree-related microhabitats (TreMs), as an indicator of the potential of the forest to host taxonomic biodiversity, to better understand the effect of broadleaf retention trees, and surrounding conditions derived from stand management, on biodiversity. We inventoried TreM types on 114 retention trees of four broadleaf tree taxa (<em>Betula</em> spp., <em>Fagus sylvatica, Quercus</em> spp., and <em>Populus tremula</em>) located within 20 even-aged conifer-dominated production forests (<em>Picea abies</em>) in southern Sweden. We evaluated the effect of retention tree attributes (species and age) and of the surrounding environment (production tree density and distance to the retained trees) on the diversity of TreM types and groups. We found that retention tree species with different characteristics and physiological niche (light-demanding vs. shade-tolerant and pioneer vs. late-successional) developed distinct TreM assemblages. TreM diversity increased significantly with increasing retention tree age and surrounding tree density. Higher surrounding tree density is particularly related to some TreMs either positively (crown deadwood, bryophytes) or negatively (buttress-root concavities, lichens). Overall, the extent that retention forestry potentially contributes to forest biodiversity will depend on promoting different broadleaved retention tree species and managing surrounding trees accordingly to allow retention trees to become older and maintain TreMs in the long term.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55375,"journal":{"name":"Biological Conservation","volume":"299 ","pages":"Article 110821"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2024-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142527239","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To address this concern, we observed insect visitation to 391 native and non-native plant species in Newton, Massachusetts (USA), a Boston suburb with extensive conservation areas and public and private gardens. We found that honey bees and native bees, including bumblebees and solitary bees, visited a wide variety of cultivated, native, adventive, and pollinator garden plants. Cultivated plants received more overall visits than wild plant species, but the most visited plants were often wild plant species with mixed visitation by honey bees and native pollinators. For many plant species, particularly cultivated plants, we did not observe any flower visitation. These findings suggest that at this suburban location, floral resources seem sufficient to allow coexistence between honey bees, bumblebees and other native bees. We suggest that residents and government officials consider doing simple surveys like this one prior to altering regulations of honey bees. In situations like Newton, in addition to evaluating regulations on honey bee hives, we suggest officials consider ways to reduce other threats to native flower-visiting insects, such as herbicide and pesticide use and habitat loss, while also planting pollinator gardens and wildflower meadows to increase available resources.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55375,"journal":{"name":"Biological Conservation","volume":"299 ","pages":"Article 110819"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2024-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142527240","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These observations are of great concern such that broad scientific and public attention has been raised. Among other urgencies, the need for long-term insect data has been identified. Here, we present data on grasshopper (Caelifera) abundances recorded between 1992 and 2011 at over 600 sites in north-western Switzerland. While vegetation type, often semi-natural grasslands, had remained largely constant, total grasshopper abundance declined by around 50 % (while many other taxa showed much less decline). Numbers in July remained relatively stable until about 2003 but then declined similar to the declines seen in August–October already before. Greatest losses were observed for drier habitats and steeper slopes, suggesting that soil drying might be an important factor for the decline. Second, more nutrient-rich habitats suffered greater losses; possible reasons for this include small-scale vegetation changes in these habitats e.g. due to atmospheric nitrogen deposition, or isolation of sites. Other than abundance, species richness decreased much less, illustrating that important ecological changes may be strongly underestimated when only species lists are available. The strong declines at our sites, which often are in an agri-environmental scheme, is alarming. Apart from being yet another call to fight climate change, our results also point to the urgent need to reduce atmospheric nitrogen deposition and to continue extensive farming, but also to adapt it in preparation of expected effects of climate change, with the aim to favour a divers, ecologically robust insect community.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55375,"journal":{"name":"Biological Conservation","volume":"299 ","pages":"Article 110816"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2024-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142527237","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We recorded environmental conditions of nesting beaches and evaluated the effects of natural shading on clutch temperatures and hatchlings of the green sea turtle <em>Chelonia mydas</em> through high-frequency daily field surveys on Taiping Island in the South China Sea. The entire incubation period equally divided into three windows, first, middle and last, and three levels of sun exposure, low, medium and high, were explored.

Nevertheless, shading had no effect on increasing hatch and emergence rates, and incubation temperatures still exceeded the usual pivotal value (29 °C) during the middle incubation window as the sex determination period by a mean temperature of 31.53 ± 1.97 °C, which resulted in potential feminization of green sea turtles on the island and in this sea area. The probability of hatchling abnormalities was the lowest (9.68 %) under low sun exposure, and the likelihood of these abnormalities was strongly correlated with clutch temperatures, particularly during the first and middle incubation windows. Severe abnormalities, such as deformities, weakened as self-righting responses.
