New project funded paper reveals that local habitat type and prey availability drive predatory beetle communities even in landscapes rich in semi-natural habitat... Ground beetles (carabids) and rove beetles (staphylinids) are among the most important natural pest control agents in European arable farming, preying on pollen beetle larvae and other crop pests. But what determines where these predators are found, and in what numbers? A new project-funded study published in Pest

New project study identifies set of indicator bird species that can simplify biodiversity monitoring for farmers and facilitators... Monitoring farmland birds is one of the most established ways to track the health of agricultural landscapes. But current breeding bird survey methods require observers to identify a large number of species by sight and sound, using complex survey protocols that demand significant training and time. For farmer clusters seeking to monitor their o
