#newPaper published about how moth communities vary with #season, #weather, #elevation, and #landscape composition

Based on an incredible dataset collected by Ladislaus Rezbanyai-Reser over 50 years in #Switzerland

Four graphs showing the relationship between abundance on the y axis and (i) day of the year (bimodal), (ii) temperature (positive), (iii) elevation (positive) and (iv) proportion of forests (positive). Sketches of five moths on the left side.

New paper about how effects of #land-use intensity on community stability are mediated by #functional traits in managed #grasslands and #forest. Based on lots of field data on both #plants and #arthropods 🌱🌳🦋🐞🕷️📈

Graphical representation of the hypothesized causal flow analysed in the study. in hypothesis 1, functional community features (represented as green boxes) mediate the effect of land-use intensity on acknowledged stability drivers within trophic levels. in hypothesis 2, functional traits of the lower trophic level mediate the effects of land-use intensity by influencing stability drivers both directly and indirectly through changes in the functional composition/diversity of higher trophic levels
