Arthropod abundances track soil fertility across a lowland tropical forest landscape [PDF]
Soil phosphorus (P) drives productivity and floristic composition across tropical forest landscapes, but equivalent links between soil P and tropical forest fauna remain poorly understood.

The Transfer and Fate of Cadmium and Zinc from Sewage Sludge Amended Agricultural Soil in an Arthropod Food Chain [PDF]
The re-cycling of sewage sludgeis the most significant entry point for trace metalsin to the agroecosystem. However, the investigation of the transfer and fate of trace metals in soil-plant-arthropod systems in an agricultural context has received little

Calpain Proteases and the Evolving Signaling Network in Insect Embryonic Patterning
Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.Insect embryonic Dorsal‐Ventral (DV) patterning relies on the BMP and Toll pathways to different extents. Calcium‐dependent cystein proteases of the Calpain family also exert an important function to pattern the DV axis. In Drosophila, Calpain A cleaves the Cactus/IkappaB inhibitor and modifies Toll signals in ventral regions of the embryo. In Rhodnius

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Subfossil insect communities from the Quartz Creek site provide a detailed record of both Late Pleistocene steppe–tundra and Holocene boreal forest ecosystems in central Yukon Territory, Canada. Fifteen Pleistocene assemblages (marine isotope stages [MIS] 4 to 2) are dominated by steppe–tundra and dry‐tundra taxa, particularly the weevils ...

Is quinoa‐farming sustainable in marginal environments? Social, economical and environmental aspects
Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.Abstract Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) is an Andean grain crop introduced as a novel crop to many parts of the world in recent years. Recognized for nutritious seeds and high abiotic stress tolerance, it has been promoted as an element of climate‐resilient agriculture, particularly in marginal environments.

1974 Annual Report on the Catalogue of Arthropod-borne and Selected Vertebrate Viruses of the World [PDF]
Inclusion of the 1973 Annual Catalogue Report in Info-Exchange No. 27, rather than mailing it separately, was so well received that we have decided to make this a standard practice. Dr. Berge's 1974 Annual Report has been completed and is included in the

Trilobite Eyes and Their Evolution
ArthropodaTrilobites, as typical euarthropods, possess compound eyes. In 1901, Lindström was the first to describe them in detail; on the one hand, we reconsider his descriptions of the different modes of trilobite eyes; on the other hand, we expand this by ...
