Are Findings of Key Insect Metrics Generalizable Across Different Taxa in Malaise Trap Samples? by Nicole Remmel, Julian Enss, Peter Haase, James S. Sinclair

“…Biomass was generally related to abundance, except in a small subset of communities comprising more larger‐bodied taxa. Additionally, both overall community composition and pollinator composition were explained by the same weather and climate variables and the same habitat characteristics. …”

The Effects of Land Use Mix on Urban Vitality: A Systemic Conceptualization and Mechanistic Exploration by Yuefei Zhuo, Hangang Hu, Guan Li

“…Key findings include the following: (1) LUM significantly enhances urban vitality, acting as a crucial urban system configuration for both daytime and nighttime activity. (2) The efficacy of LUM stems more from systemic interconnections—convenient access to adjacent spaces (proximity) and functional coordination among diverse land uses—than mere compositional diversity, emphasizing the importance of interrelated elements within the urban fabric. (3) The system’s response to LUM exhibits significant spatial and temporal heterogeneity; proximity’s impact is most variable, while diversity and coordination effects are more stable, underscoring the dynamic and context-dependent nature of these interactions. (4) System-adaptive strategies are crucial: newly developed urban areas benefit from foundational infrastructure and land use diversity (system inputs), while revitalizing older towns requires optimizing spatial accessibility and functional coordination (enhancing existing system linkages). …”

Effects of Microplastics, Fertilization and Pesticides on Alien and Native Plants by Xiong Shi, Guilin Yang, Yulong Zheng

“…These accumulations have the potential to disrupt the soil ecological process and subsequently impact the plant community composition. Alien plants always benefit from environmental variability, thus whether the accumulation of fertilizer, plastic, and pesticide in soil promotes the dominance of alien plants in an invaded community. …”
