Heatwaves and cold snaps alter host-parasite population dynamics

Climate change is increasing the frequency and intensity of temperature extremes, yet the consequences of heatwaves and cold snaps for host-parasite interactions remain incompletely understood.Thermal pulses of ±6°C were experimentally tested to determine how disease dynamics are...

Imperfect detection and sampling effort shape ground beetle (Carabidae) diversity indicators in large-scale monitoring

Soil biodiversity indicators are increasingly used to inform environmental assessment and policy, yet their robustness is often constrained by heterogeneous sampling designs and imperfect species detection. Surface-active arthropods, such as ground beetles (Carabidae), are widely...
