“…Tree canopies perhaps maintain the largest portion of arthropod diversity, which in total with terrestrial arthropods vary from 5 to 12 million species (Stork et al 2008;Hamilton et al 2013), of which 20 to 25% are canopy exclusive (Stork 2018). The canopy habitat provides food resources, shelter and sites for reproduction, oviposition and development for diverse arthropod guilds, such as herbivores (including chewing, sucking, gall-inducing and leaf-mining groups), predators, parasitoids and detritivores, among others (Ulyshen 2011; Maldonado-López et al 2018).…”

“…This genus represents a large and ecologically diverse group of woody plants with temperate origin (Hipp et al 2020). Oaks are also known to support a great diversity of organismal groups, such as ectomycorrhizal fungi (García-Guzmán et al 2017), epiphytic plants (Maclean et al 2017) and canopy arthropods (Tovar-Sánchez and Oyama 2006a, b;Valencia 2015;Maldonado-López et al 2018). Several areas in central-western and southern Mexico are particularly rich in oak species, particularly of the Lobatae (red oaks) and Quercus (white oaks) sections (Torres-Miranda et al 2013;Rodríguez-Correa et al 2015), where between two and up to six species can occur in sympatry at the local scale, with species of the two sections often coexisting (Cavender-Bares et al, 2018;McCauley et al 2019).…”

Central-west and south of Mexico are particularly rich in oak species, coexisting from two to six species and generating gradients of oak diversity that could potentially affect community structure of canopy arthropods. We evaluated changes in canopy arthropod diversity of the Quercus laurina along a gradient of oak diversity in the central-west portion of the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt. Five study sites that represent an oak diversity gradient and, where Q. laurina is also widespread were selected. At each site, five mature trees of Q. laurina were randomly selected to collect canopy arthropods using fogging techniques. We assessed the effects of local climate variables on the oak community and the canopy arthropod diversity. We collected 7479 arthropods representing 1154 morphospecies grouped into 15 different orders. Differences in arthropod diversity, abundance and guild composition between oak communities were detected. The general pattern showed a highest richness and abundance of arthropods in Tequila volcano, which represented the site with the greatest diversity of oaks. A significant positive relationship between arthropod abundance and oak species diversity was found. Arthropod guild composition differed along the gradient of oak diversity. Local environmental variables were related with oak community, but did not explained canopy arthropod diversity. At the local scale, plant species richness is the main factor that determines the canopy arthropod abundance and richness of Q. laurina, affecting the structure and composition of arthropod guilds. We highlight the importance of conserving oak species because they represent key elements of temperate forest that harbor high arthropod diversity. Implications for insect conservation Our findings confirm that at the local scale, plant species richness is the main factor that determines the arthropod diversity associated with the canopy of Quercus laurina, affecting trophic levels and the composition of arthropod guilds. Therefore, the oak species diversity in temperate forests is a key factor to harbor and preserving the diversity of canopy arthropods in temperate ecosystems.

(1) We document the invertebrate fauna collected from 24 oak canopies in east and west Norway as a contribution to the Norwegian Biodiversity Information Centre’s ‘The Norwegian Taxonomy Initiative’. (2) A snap-shot inventory of the canopies was recorded by means of emitting a mist of natural pyrethrum into the canopies at night using a petrol-driven fogger and collecting the specimens in butterfly nets spread on the ground under the canopy. (3) Almost the entire catch of more than 6800 specimens was identified to 722 species. Out of 92 species new to the Norwegian fauna, 21 were new to science and, additionally, 15 were new to the Nordic fauna. Diptera alone constituted nearly half of the species represented, with 61 new records (18 new species). Additionally, 24 Hymenoptera (one new species), six oribatid mites (two new species) and one Thysanoptera were new to the Norwegian fauna. (4) Our study emphasizes the importance of the oak tree as a habitat both for a specific fauna and occasional visitors, and it demonstrates that the canopy fogging technique is an efficient way to find the ‘hidden fauna’ of Norwegian forests. The low number of red listed species found reflects how poor the Norwegian insect fauna is still studied. Moreover, the implication of the IUCN red list criteria for newly described or newly observed species is discussed.

The management of patients with spinal muscular atrophy type 1 (SMA1) is constantly evolving. In just a few decades the medical approach has switched from an exclusively palliative therapy to a targeted therapy, transforming the natural history of the disease, improving survival time and quality of life, and creating new challenges and goals. Many nutritional problems, gastrointesti-nal disorders and metabolic and endocrine alterations are commonly identified in patients af-fected by SMA1 during childhood and adolescence. For this reason, a proper pediatric multidis-ciplinary approach is then required in the clinical care of these patients, with a specific focus on the prevention of most common complications. The purpose of this narrative review is to provide the clinician with a practical and usable tool about SMA1 patients care, through a comprehensive insight into the nutritional, gastroenterological, metabolic and endocrine management of SMA1. Considering the possible horizons opened thanks to new therapeutic frontiers, a nutritional and endo-metabolic surveillance is a crucial element to be considered for a proper clinical care of these patients.
