Island invertebrate responses to single‐ and multi‐species invasive rodent eradications

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Eradications of rodents on islands are a powerful tool for conservation, but rarely are the responses of invertebrates quantified post‐eradication, despite being the preferred prey of mice. Here we analyzed pre‐ and post‐eradication invertebrate survey results for two sub‐Antarctic islands where mice had recently been eradicated; Antipodes Island where

Fragmented grasslands in different landscape structures provide different opportunities for cavity‐nesting Hymenoptera

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Grassland fragmentation effects on cavity‐nesting Hymenoptera are habitat‐specific. Isolated sand steppe fragments are associated with higher brood‐cell abundance. In loess steppes, higher flower frequency increases bee brood‐cell production and parasitoid activity. Abstract The global decline in insects threatens ecosystem functioning, but the drivers

Pathogenicity of Fungi Hyphomycetes on Cyrtomenus Bergi Froeschner (Hemiptera:cydnidae) Cassava Burrowing Bug

Revista Colombiana de Entomología, 1997
Suspensions of conidia from the fungus Beauveria bassiana (Bals.) Vuill., Metarhizium anisopliae Sorok and Paecilomyces lilacinus (Deuteromycotina: Hyphomycetes) were evaluated in experiments with three media and ...

The effects of playbacks of anthropogenic noise on the anti‐predator behaviour of Pacific sand lance, Ammodytes personatus

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Noise from human activities has increased and been shown to negatively impact marine animals. Marine mammals and fish are vulnerable to anthropogenic noise because they rely on sound to communicate, find food, avoid predators and sense their environment. Forage fish are small schooling pelagic fish, important to many predators and instrumental

From sagittal to sprawled: Clavicular co‐option and the evolution of forelimb mechanics in talpines

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Forelimb posture in Eulipotyphla divides into sagittal and sprawled groups with distinct scapular and clavicular orientations. First true rib strength scales with body mass, reflecting vertical ground reaction forces, whereas clavicular strength reflects differences in medially directed forces on the pectoral girdle, especially pronounced in highly ...

Everyday Stressors and Sense of Purpose: The Role of Stressor‐Related Opportunities for Goal Pursuit

Journal of Personality, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective This study examined whether everyday stressor occurrence is associated with lower sense of purpose, and whether this association depends on stressor‐related goal opportunities, the Big Five personality traits, or trait purpose. Methods Data came from the Daily Experiences and Health Study (N = 236, ages 25–87).

Intraspecific Variation in Reproductive Aspects of Female Soldier Crabs, Mictyris guinotae, Between the River Mouth and Upper Reach Habitats

Marine Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The soldier crab, Mictyris guinotae, is a dominant intertidal crustacean associated with sand flats in the vicinity of the Urauchi River estuary on Iriomote Island, Japan. We compared various aspects of its reproductive biology at two sites (the river mouth and upper reach) on exposed bare sand flats 300 m and 3000 m upstream from the mouth ...

A Gain‐of‐Function Mutation in DELLA Selectively Alters Protein Interactions to Regulate Wheat Tiller Angle and Plant Height

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plant architecture, especially plant height and tiller angle, plays a pivotal role in determining wheat yield. In this study, we characterize a wheat mutant termed prostrate and semidwarf 1 (prose1), exhibiting both a prostrate growth habit and semidwarfism.

Play in Cognitive Development: From Rational Constructivism to Predictive Processing

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract It is widely believed that play and curiosity are key ingredients as children develop models of the world. There is also an emerging consensus that children are Bayesian learners who combine their structured prior beliefs with estimations of the likelihood of new evidence to infer the most probable model of the world.
