Anthropogenic stressors often co‐occur in ecosystems, but their combined impacts are rarely assessed using field experiments. Press disturbances particularly can reshape community dynamics, altering their capacity to withstand or recover from acute pulse disturbances by modifying response diversity.

ABSTRACT The anti‐parasitic drug moxidectin is a frontline treatment for sarcoptic mange in bare‐nosed wombats (Vombatus ursinus), a disease causing significant animal welfare issues and instances of local population declines. Despite widespread usage, knowledge of species‐specific pharmacokinetics of moxidectin in bare‐nosed wombats is still limited ...

Distribution and Host Range of the Burrowing Nematode in Puerto Rican Soils
Because of quarantine recently established by the State of California on ornamental material imported from Puerto Rico, Hawaii, and Florida, a study was undertaken in 1955, which lasted until 1960, to determine the distribution of the burrowing nematode in Puerto Rico.

Cloning and analysis of cathepsin B gene of Radopholus similis
The banana burrowing nematode, Radopholus similis, is a migratory endoparasite plant nematode and severely harms many tropical and subtropical crops. It is the most important invasive species to banana worldwide, and is listed as a quarantine pest in ...

Organic matter composition and the protist and nematode communities around anecic earthworm burrows [PDF]
By living in permanent burrows and incorporating organic detritus from the soil surface, anecic earthworms contribute to soil heterogeneity, but their impact is still under-studied in natural field conditions. We investigated the effects of the anecic earthworm Lumbricus centralis on fresh carbon (C) incorporation, soil organic matter composition ...

Understanding marine biodiversity patterns and drivers: The fall of Icarus
Abstract Biodiversity patterns are fundamental in our understanding of the distribution of life, ecosystem function, and conservation. In this concept analysis, A survey of the existing knowledge on marine biodiversity patterns and drivers across latitudes, longitudes, and depths indicates that none of the postulated patterns represent a rule.

A burrowing ecosystem engineer positively affects its microbial prey under stressful conditions
Species that facilitate others under stressful conditions are often ecosystem engineers: organisms that modify or create physical habitat. However, the net effect of an engineering species on another depends on both the magnitude of the direct ...

Ecosystem recovery in restored saltmarshes detected through invertebrate communities
Abstract Introduction Saltmarsh ecosystems support rich biodiversity and provide key ecosystem services. Invertebrate communities underpin essential processes such as nutrient cycling and decomposition. However, saltmarshes have been widely degraded by land use change.

Sentience in cephalopod molluscs: an updated assessment
ABSTRACT This article evaluates the evidence for sentience – the capacity to have feelings – in cephalopod molluscs: octopus, cuttlefish, squid, and nautilus. Our framework includes eight criteria, covering both whether the animal's nervous system could support sentience and whether their behaviour indicates sentience.

How and to what degree an animal deals with potential threats is a fascinating topic that has been well-researched, particularly in insects, though usually not with the impact of parasites in mind.
