Urbanization Effects on the Community Structure of Saproxylic Arthropods in Warm‐Temperate Japan
This study examined saproxylic arthropod communities in various landscapes, ranging from large to fragmented urban forests, and compared the structure and composition of these communities. The results showed that communities could be classified into three types based on species composition and that arthropod community types were correlated with forest ...

Clogmia albipunctata Larvae Influence the Odour Dynamics of Rotting Organic Matter
Drain flies live in organic waste. We investigated how drain fly larvae influence the unpleasant smells produced by sewage sludge and rotting nettle. Although the perception of these smells did not change significantly according to the public, chemical analyses showed that sewage sludge with drain fly larvae yielded a different composition of odors ...

Neotropical butterflies of the genus Hamadryas, noted by the emission of sound, spend much time perching on trees and are believed to be cryptically patterned and colored with respect to tree trunks and branches they use as perching sites, but the ...

Through a field study along a metal contamination gradient, we propose a combined application of taxonomic and functional approaches to study the impacts of contamination on polyphagous predators, spiders. We have demonstrated a significant impact of metal contamination on spider communities, although it operates among a set of variables (e.g ...

Eyespots in Automeris Moths Mimic Sympatric Owl Species (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae)
Eyespot mimicry is a common anti‐predator strategy in moths, yet the mechanism underlying its effectiveness in Automeris remains unresolved. Using species distribution models, convolutional neural networks, and saliency mapping, we show that Automeris eyespots are visually confusable with sympatric owl eyes and that this similarity is concentrated in ...

Species with wind & insect pollination syndromes show distinct age structure patterns. Splitting insect pollination into different categories show constrasting age structure. Modern flowering seasons track paleotemperature signatures. ABSTRACT Across the planet, angiosperm diversification has been shaped by palaeoclimates and biotic interactions ...

Niche partitioning is important for the coexistence of closely related species, allowing species to reduce overlap in resource use despite shared ecological requirements. In alpine environments, harsh climatic conditions and low habitat complexity constrain opportunities for ecological segregation, making seasonal resource fluctuation especially ...

Photonic nanovoids for tailored optoelectronic response in silicon solar cells
Optoelectronic workflow followed by experimental validation, demonstrating state‐of‐the‐art efficiency gains. Abstract As crystalline silicon (c‐Si) solar cells become thinner to reduce cost and weight, the optical design principles that govern light trapping (LT) must evolve.

Shade is a team effort in a South African forest‐savanna mosaic
This study examined whether individual or ecosystem‐level traits are responsible for excluding shade‐intolerant grasses in forest understorey by developing a physical model to predict shade cast by the crown of an individual tree, and the canopy of densely packed trees.
