“…These nontarget organisms provide necessary ecological functions such as decomposition, seed dispersal, and pollination; thus their successful reestablishment is essential for the restoration of self‐sustaining ecosystems (Young ). Despite this, up to two‐thirds of all studied restorations lack information on the status of nontarget organisms (Ruiz‐Jaen & Aide ) and the responses of many taxa to habitat restoration remain largely unknown (Dobson et al ; Burkhalter et al ). Better understanding of nontarget species in ecological restorations is needed to assess the true success of restoration efforts and improve management (Longcore ).…”

Restoration efforts often focus on plants, but additionally require the establishment and long‐term persistence of diverse groups of nontarget organisms, such as bees, for important ecosystem functions and meeting restoration goals. We investigated long‐term patterns in the response of bees to habitat restoration by sampling bee communities along a 26‐year chronosequence of restored tallgrass prairie in north‐central Illinois, U.S.A. Specifically, we examined how bee communities changed over time since restoration in terms of (1) abundance and richness, (2) community composition, and (3) the two components of beta diversity, one‐to‐one species replacement, and changes in species richness. Bee abundance and raw richness increased with restoration age from the low level of the pre‐restoration (agricultural) sites to the target level of the remnant prairie within the first 2–3 years after restoration, and these high levels were maintained throughout the entire restoration chronosequence. Bee community composition of the youngest restored sites differed from that of prairie remnants, but 5–7 years post‐restoration the community composition of restored prairie converged with that of remnants. Landscape context, particularly nearby wooded land, was found to affect abundance, rarefied richness, and community composition. Partitioning overall beta diversity between sites into species replacement and richness effects revealed that the main driver of community change over time was the gradual accumulation of species, rather than one‐to‐one species replacement. At the spatial and temporal scales we studied, we conclude that prairie restoration efforts targeting plants also successfully restore bee communities.

“…Based on the similarity in arthropod abundance between restored and reference areas, and the relatively young age (2 years) of the restored sites, it appears that terrestrial arthropods quickly colonized the restored areas. However, abundance metrics do not tell the full story about the restoration of arthropod assemblages (Burkhalter et al, 2013;Maoela et al, 2016;Hacala et al, 2019). In fact, arthropod taxonomic identities were distinctly different among habitat types, especially among herbivores.…”

Compensatory wetland restoration is a critical component of holistic, ecosystem-level oil spill response strategies. An important goal of restoration is to rehabilitate food webs in impacted areas, but faunal assemblages and trophic dynamics are rarely included in post-restoration monitoring or assessments of success. Different approaches to wetland restoration, including variations in construction technique, may influence faunal recovery and trophic interactions. To explore these dynamics, we compared emergent plant communities, terrestrial arthropod assemblages, and trophic interactions in restored emergent marshes that were constructed in terrace and mound configurations and in reference areas in the Lower Neches Wildlife Management Area (Texas, United States). Plant community composition differed among all habitat types, with higher diversity on terraces and in reference marshes. Terrestrial arthropod abundance was similar among habitat types, but species composition was distinctly different among habitat types, especially at the herbivore level, where four of the eight herbivore species were found in either reference or restored sites, but not in both habitat types. Herbivores (primarily beetles and planthoppers) were more abundant than detritivores (midges and flies) in all habitat types. Predator (web-building and hunting spiders) abundance and species identity were similar among habitat types. Based on stable isotope analysis, trophic relationships differed among mounds, terraces, and reference areas. Herbivore diets were more variable at the reference sites than in either restored habitat type, aligning with higher plant diversity in reference areas. In contrast, detritivore diets were more variable at restored sites, where they were likely consuming food sources such as benthic algae or sediment organic matter. Predator diets were primarily comprised of herbivores in reference areas and detritivores in restored habitats. Overall, the restoration approaches supported abundant terrestrial arthropod assemblages, but species composition was different. In addition, trophic relationships differed between restored and reference areas, in part due to unique plant species assemblages at restored and reference sites. These results suggest that ecosystem restoration strategies that introduce geomorphological heterogeneity and plant diversity are more likely to support a diverse array of species and functions.

Ranggawulung urban forest as one of the remaining vegetated sites in Subang city has the potential to be a strategic location for biodiversity that needs to be managed sustainably. Biodiversity studies in Rangawulung urban forest need to be conducted periodically to assess and control the impact of urban development. This study was conducted to assess biodiversity in Subang City, especially mammals community ini Ranggawulung Urban Forest as an indicator of biological management in urban areas. There were eight species of mammals found in the Ranggawulung City Forest area from five families. Diversity (H'), richness (Dmg), and evenness (E') indices of the area species were 1,09, 1,6, and 0,84. One of the species found, the Javanese slow loris (Nycticebus javanicus), is a protected animal in PermenLHK Number P.106 / MENLHK / SETJEN / KUM.1 / 12/2018. The species is also categorized as CITES Appendix I and Critical Endangered according to the IUCN red list. Ranggawulung Urban Forest is considered important as an animal habitat in Subang City and needs to be managed properly and sustainably.
