Abstract

. 1. The effects of the current changes in traditional agricultural practices in the Alps on the biodiversity affecting ecosystem functions and services are little known. Vineyards are among the oldest anthropogenic environments of high cultural and natural value that shape the landscape of large areas in Central and Southern Europe. In several mountain regions of the Alps, vineyards are a valid alternative to the landscape homogenisation that has followed post-cultural land abandonment and agriculture intensification. Key unanswered questions remain regarding the relative contribution of several factors that influence biodiversity, and the level in management pressure with regard to taxonomic and functional diversity enhancement.

Developing a national indicator of functional connectivity

Lisbeth A. Hordley, Gary D. Powney, Tom Brereton, Simon Gillings, Owen L. Petchey, David B. Roy, Joseph A. Tobias, James Williams, Tom H. Oliver

Summary: Habitat loss leads to biodiversity loss and reduces the connectivity of landscapes for species movement. Quantifying functional connectivity is important for conservation management, and a technique based on population synchrony has been suggested. This study uses species survey data to investigate population synchrony for British birds and butterflies over time. Results show that butterfly synchrony has declined but recently increased, while bird synchrony has shown some decline followed by recovery. Developing indicators of functional connectivity using abundance data is crucial for effective land management strategies.

Indicator species reveal the physical and biological singularity of esker ecosystems

Akib Hasan, Miguel Montoro Girona, Louis Imbeau, Jennifer Lento, Anouschka R. Hof, Guillaume Grosbois

Summary: Eskers are complex geological formations that provide crucial resources and their ecological knowledge is essential for their sustainable management and conservation. This study used a food web approach to identify the environmental variables, biological diversity, and indicator species associated with esker lakes. The results showed that esker lakes differ from clay lakes in terms of physicochemical properties and biotic communities, and they provide preferential habitats for certain species.

Diversity of beetle species and functional traits along gradients of deadwood suggests weak environmental filtering

Marco Basile, Francesco Parisi, Roberto Tognetti, Saverio Francini, Fabio Lombardi, Marco Marchetti, Davide Travaglini, Elena De Santis, Gherardo Chirici

Summary: We studied beetle assemblages in five forest sites along the Apennines mountains in Italy and analyzed the effects of deadwood variables on species and traits. We found that only a few species showed significant responses to deadwood types, and species richness only influenced phytophagous and saproxylophagous beetles. Trait occurrence was related to species richness in some trophic groups. Our findings suggest that there is still room for improving naturalness in Mediterranean mountain forests by increasing deadwood volume and types to enhance overall beetle richness and abundance.

Species' traits drive amphibian tolerance to anthropogenic habitat modification

Gracie Liu, Jodi J. L. Rowley, Richard T. Kingsford, Corey T. Callaghan

Summary: Anthropogenic habitat modification is accelerating, posing a threat to global biodiversity. Research on Australian frogs revealed that most species are negatively affected by habitat modification, especially specialists and those with larger geographic ranges. Traits such as call dominant frequency, body size, clutch type, and calling position are related to tolerance levels towards habitat modification. A urgent need for improved anthropogenic impact consideration and conservation measures for long-term frog population persistence is highlighted, particularly focusing on intolerant species and specialists.

Species traits explain public perceptions of human-bird interactions

Riley Andrade, Kelli L. Larson, Janet Franklin, Susannah B. Lerman, Heather L. Bateman, Paige S. Warren

Summary: The impacts of urbanization on bird biodiversity depend on human-environment interactions that drive land management. Less attention has been given to public perceptions of birds close to home. People's perceptions of local bird communities are related to species traits. Distinctive aesthetics, especially color and song, as well as traits related to foraging and diet drive perceptions. Increasing people's direct experiences with iconic species and species with distinguishing attributes has the potential to improve public perceptions and strengthen support for broader conservation initiatives.

Measuring the impacts of climate change on the spatial structure of grasslands in urban landscapes of North America

Amin Rastandeh, Meghann Jarchow

Summary: Although the importance of biodiversity conservation in urban landscapes has been recognized in many forest, desert, and coastal biomes, not much research has been done on urbanization in grasslands and its impacts on biodiversity. In this study, we conducted a pilot spatio-temporal study to assess the effects of land-use and vegetation change on grasslands in the Upper Missouri River Basin under different climate-change scenarios. We found that grassland conversion in urban landscapes was higher compared to the whole region, but this trend was not directly related to urban expansion. Additionally, habitat proximity was negatively correlated with urban expansion. This study emphasizes the need to measure changes in habitat composition and configuration to better understand opportunities and limitations for biodiversity conservation in urban landscapes.

Ecological super-spreaders drive host-range oscillations: Omicron and risk space for emerging infectious disease

Walter A. Boeger, Daniel R. Brooks, Valeria Trivellone, Salvatore J. Agosta, Eric P. Hoberg

Summary: The unusual genetic diversity of the Omicron strain has led to speculation about its origin. Mathematical modeling suggests that it retro-colonized humans from an unknown nonhuman mammal, possibly initially infected by humans. The relationship between Omicron and other SARS-CoV-2 variants indicates oscillations among hosts, which is a core aspect of the Stockholm Paradigm. The study proposes the DAMA protocol to anticipate and mitigate the impact of emerging infectious diseases through documentation, assessment, monitoring, and proactive intervention.

Comparison of Traditional and Next-Generation Approaches for Uncovering Phytoplasma Diversity, with Discovery of New Groups, Subgroups and Potential Vectors

Valeria Trivellone, Yanghui Cao, Christopher H. Dietrich

Summary: This study compared traditional methods with a new method based on next-generation DNA sequencing for detecting and identifying phytoplasmas in DNA extracted from plant-feeding insects. The results showed that the next-generation method performed as well, if not better, for identifying phytoplasmas. Several new records and associations for known phytoplasmas were reported, as well as new subgroups and possible new groups. The findings suggest that using next-generation sequencing to screen phloem-feeding insects may be the most efficient method for discovering new phytoplasmas.

Summary: Phytoplasma diseases are a major threat to agriculture, and early detection of these pathogens can benefit risk assessment, prevention, and mitigation of the diseases. In this study, a proactive disease management protocol was implemented to detect phytoplasmas in insect samples collected in southern Germany. Phytoplasma DNA was detected in two samples, and the identified phytoplasmas were related to 'Candidatus Phytoplasma asteris'. The study also documented historical associations and records of phytoplasmas and its hosts in the region, and identified leafhopper species to be monitored for disease outbreaks.
