Ecohydrology, Volume 19, Issue 4, June 2026.ABSTRACT Once‐common beavers have been absent from the British landscape for centuries, but wild beaver populations have returned in recent years as part of reintroduction schemes, including releases into monitored enclosures. In North Yorkshire, such a release of Eurasian beavers took place in 2019.

Insects feeding on cadavers as an alternative source of human genetic material
Archives of Forensic Medicine and Criminology, 2015 In some criminal cases, the use of classical sources of human genetic material is difficult or even impossible. One solution may be the use of insects, especially blowfly larvae which feed on corpses.

Fatty acid solubilizer from the oral disk of the blowfly. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Blowflies are economic pests of the wool industry and potential vectors for epidemics. The establishment of a pesticide-free, environmentally friendly blowfly control strategy is necessary.

Beyond birds: rethinking bird‐centered pathogen models in light of insect migration
Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 6, June 2026.Migration redistributes biomass, nutrients, and pathogens across ecosystems. For decades, migratory birds have been treated as the default long‐distance pathogen vectors, shaping both conceptual frameworks and empirical models of disease ecology.

Natural Sciences Education, Volume 55, Issue 1, June 2026.Abstract In this article, we describe an inquiry‐based teaching activity developed in a public high school in Brazil. The objectives were to (a) develop an experimental activity grounded on the students’ autonomy for formulating and testing hypotheses, (b) address Biology topics from a historical and multidisciplinary perspective, (c) stimulate skills ...

TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 3, June 2026.Abstract Floral mimicry of decaying substrates of animal origin, such as carrion or faeces, is associated with unusual traits such as geoflory, deep maroon or yellow colouration, floral hairs and unpleasant odour, but the functional significance of these traits for attracting and manipulating pollinators has seldom been examined.

European Journal of TaxonomyThe Australian Calliphorinae represent a diverse division of the global blowfly fauna and a broad range of life histories. Past research focused on the carrion-breeding species and there remains a paucity of research on species with other life histories.

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 6, Page 579-588, June 2026.It is unknown why males of the parasitoid wasp Nasonia giraulti produce large amounts of a costly sex pheromone although they were long thought to mate with their females already before emergence within the host. Mated females do no longer respond to the pheromone.

Temperature stress induces mites to help their carrion beetle hosts by eliminating rival blowflies
eLife, 2020 Ecological conditions are known to change the expression of mutualisms though the causal agents driving such changes remain poorly understood. Here we show that temperature stress modulates the harm threatened by a common enemy, and thereby induces a ...

Hypotheses for the Adaptive Maintenance of Phenotypic Polymorphisms
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.Phenotypic polymorphisms offer easily observable diversity ideal for empirical and theoretical exploration, but developing and comparing hypotheses for the adaptive maintenance of polymorphism can be a challenge. Here, we propose a framework categorizing polymorphisms based on (i) one of five distinct types of maintenance selection and (ii) the context
