Time Constraints Modulate the Effects of Predator Cues and a Metal Across Life Stages in a Damselfly Open
Animals are increasingly exposed to multiple co‐occurring stressors. Environmental factors such as seasonal time constraints ( TC ), predation risk, and pollutants strongly influence fitness‐related traits in aquatic organisms. Yet, the in…

Warming and latitude shape the non-consumptive effects of native and invasive alien crayfish predators on damselfly prey Open
There is increasing concern that the effects of biological invasions may be magnified by other human-induced global changes. Here, we compare the non-consumptive effects imposed by invasive vs. native predators and how these (differential)…

Non-consumptive effects of native, alien and invasive alien crayfish on damselfly egg life history and carry-over effects on larval physiology Open
Invasive alien (IA) predators pose significant threats to native ecosystems, often leading to profound impacts on prey species through both direct and non-consumptive effects (NCE). This study focused on the NCE of predator-induced stress …

Meta-analysis of spatial genetic patterns among European saproxylic beetles Open
The phylogeography of many forest-dwelling species in Europe is well understood. However, our knowledge regarding the genetics of saproxylic beetles remains insufficient. This knowledge gap extends to understanding the influence of both qu…

Meta-analysis of spatial genetic patterns among European saproxylic beetles - the influence of history and contemporary forest quality Open
The phylogeography of forest-dwelling species in Europe is well understood, although our knowledge regarding the genetics of saproxylic beetles remains insufficient. This knowledge gap extends to understanding the influence of both quatern…

Microgeographic differentiation in thermal and antipredator responses and their carry-over effects across life stages in a damselfly Open
Global warming and invasive species, separately or combined, can impose a large impact on the condition of native species. However, we know relatively little about how these two factors, individually and in combination, shape phenotypes in…

Copper Exposure Affects Anti-Predatory Behaviour and Acetylcholinesterase Levels in Culex pipiens (Diptera, Culicidae) Open
Copper is an essential metal that occurs chronically in the environment and affects the development and physiology of aquatic insects. In excess amounts, it can impair their nervous system and behaviour. We tested the anti-predatory behavi…

Salinity Changes the Dynamics of Pyrethroid Toxicity in Terms of Behavioral Effects on Newly Hatched Delta Smelt Larvae Open
Salinity can interact with organic compounds and modulate their toxicity. Studies have shown that the fraction of pyrethroid insecticides in the aqueous phase increases with increasing salinity, potentially increasing the risk of exposure …
