Spontaneous succession in limestone quarries as an effective restoration tool for endangered arthropods and plants
TLDR
The results show that the high conservation potential of limestone quarries could be realized by allowing succession to progress spontaneously with minimal intervention, and active restoration measures at post-mining sites should be limited to maintenance of early successional stages, instead of acceleration of succession.

Diversification of mowing regime increases arthropods diversity in species-poor cultural hay meadows
Agricultural intensification reduces the biodiversity of European farmlands. Hay meadows represent an important farmland habitat, traditionally used to produce hay. With decreased demand for hay, the…

Diurnal Activity Rhythms and Niche Differentiation in a Carrion Beetle Assemblage (Coleoptera: Silphidae) in Opava, the Czech Republic
TLDR
Diurnal activity rhythms of carrion beetles (Coleoptera: Silphidae) were investigated in the surroundings of Opava in the Czech Republic and patterns of temporal utilisation among species were compared using Levins¹ measure of niche breadth and Horn's index of niche overlap.

When the Body Hides the Ancestry: Phylogeny of Morphologically Modified Epizoic Earwigs Based on Molecular Evidence
TLDR
The results demonstrate the potential for rapid and substantial macroevolutionary changes at the morphological level as related to adaptive evolution, in this case linked to the utilization of a novel trophic niche based on an epizoic life strategy and indicate that the evolutionary consequences of the transition to an ectoparazitic mode of living have biased previous morphology-based hypotheses regarding the phylogeny of this insect group.

In search for a compromise between biodiversity conservation and human health protection in restoration of fly ash deposits: effect of anti-dust treatments on five groups of arthropods
TLDR
Total soil cover depleted the unique environment of fly ash and thus destroyed the high conservation potential of the deposits, but partial coverage still offered habitats for many of the most threatened species, as it showed by both regression and multivariate analyses, with a decrease of wind erosion.

Euborellia annulipes (Dermaptera: Anisolabididae), a new alien earwig in Central European greenhouses: potential pest or beneficial inhabitant?
TLDR
These findings are the first to document established populations in Central European greenhouses of the alien earwig, Euborellia annulipes, and point to a small proportion of such food in its diet under free-choice conditions in greenhouses.

Monitoring and conservation of Saga pedo (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae) in an isolated nothwestern population
TLDR
Based on extensive surveys conducted during 2006–2011 at 10 sites in the Pálava Protected Landscape Area (Czech Republic), it is shown that the optimal time for monitoring in order to achieve comparable results from different investigators in different locations is the period just after nymphs hatch.
