Oikos, EarlyView.Rewilding with locally extinct terrestrial vertebrates has been a popular conservation initiative over the past few decades. Among the animals used for rewilding are the small‐ to medium‐sized vertebrates that forage in the soil and that have been lost from many ecosystems due to habitat destruction or predation by exotic species.

Oikos, EarlyView.The extent to which different magnitudes and directions of temperature fluctuations explain long‐term trends in aquatic invertebrate body size is largely unknown. Using elevational gradients and paleolimnological reconstructions, we tested the hypotheses that the size of subfossil chironomid (non‐biting midges) head capsules (HCs) will covary with ...

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Slugs can challenge crop plants grown in no‐till fields. Our results confirm that higher levels of slug feeding can be detrimental to maize plants, but low levels of herbivory by slugs can unexpectedly increase plant growth and occasionally yield. Abstract BACKGROUND In contrast to herbivorous insect pests, relatively little attention has been given to

Using fecal DNA metabarcoding to investigate the animal diet of black rails, yellow rails, and soras
Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.We used fecal DNA metabarcoding to investigate the diet of yellow rails, Eastern black rails, and sora during the non‐breeding season. Arthropods, particularly ants, were prevalent in their diets, suggesting possible interactions with invasive red imported fire ants.

Functional diversity of resilin in Arthropoda [PDF]
Beilstein Journal of Nanotechnology, 2016 Resilin is an elastomeric protein typically occurring in exoskeletons of arthropods. It is composed of randomly orientated coiled polypeptide chains that are covalently cross-linked together at regular intervals by the two unusual amino acids dityrosine and trityrosine forming a stable network with a high degree of flexibility and mobility. As a result
