Complex multitrophic species interactions and fitness costs: Intricate consequences of jasmonate and salicylate induced plant defences

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study reveals how long‐term activation of jasmonic and salicylic acid signalling reshapes arthropod communities and plant fitness across seasons. By showing that induced defences generate contrasting outcomes and cascading trade‐offs across trophic levels, it challenges the assumption that induced resistance is uniformly beneficial in natural ...

Yellow fever outbreak temporarily changes dispersal patterns in an endangered primate

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Golden lion tamarins had their annual adult survival strongly impacted by a yellow fever outbreak in 2017–2018. At the same time, they temporarily changed their dispersal patterns. Despite a 30% decline, the population has come back to levels higher than pre‐outbreak ones. Abstract Disease outbreaks can severely affect populations in the wild. However,

Population trends and variability within bird communities are amplified by intense land use

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
We show that bird populations in farmland have stronger long‐term changes and are more variable around these changes than in woodland. Disentangling these two components of population stability helps understand the effects of anthropogenic pressures on wild communities.

Postmortem submergence interval (PMSI) and human decomposition in anthropogenically constructed aqueous environments (pools, bathtubs, hot tubs, and spas)

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Postmortem decomposition changes of bodies in aquatic environments may offer valuable insights into the postmortem submergence interval (PMSI) for medicolegal death investigators. However, the effects of immersion on the onset of such changes are poorly understood.

Recovery of male DNA acquired from carrion‐feeding insects in a simulated sexual assault scenario

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract When bodies of sexual assault victims are discovered in advanced stages of decomposition, the recovery of direct DNA evidence is often compromised, posing a challenge in criminal investigations. This study aimed to determine insect colonization and succession patterns on pig carcasses inoculated with semen and to assess the feasibility of ...

Understanding biological control function and trophic interaction dynamics of an artificially released predatory bug by DNA metabarcoding

Insect Science, EarlyView.
This study investigated the dietary composition of Sycanus bifidus, a generalist predator of the assassin bug that is artificially released into citrus orchards, and uncovered its trophic structure across various pest species using metabarcoding‐based molecular gut content analysis.
