Unravelling direct and indirect effects of river-floodplain connectivity on biodiversity: insights from the Elbe River floodplains - Biodiversity and Conservation River-floodplain connectivity is a critical ecological process influencing biodiversity and ecosystem functions. However, the impact of changes in this connectivity, particularly its loss, on biodiver...

Connectivity promotes both #biodiversity and functional diversity of #plants and #carabids in #floodplains. New paper in Biodiversity and Conservation.

Sodding Acupalpus..... Apologies for bothering you @carabidaeuk.bsky.social, but is this possibly Acupalpus maculatus? 3.5mm long, mentum untoothed, sieved from wet plant litter in wet grazing marsh, aprox. 10 meters from water edge, last week VC 13 - West Sussex. #carabids #coleoptera
