PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Widespread museum digitization initiatives have made the world's herbaria more accessible than ever, launching a renaissance of specimen use. We highlight the value of digitization to bolster both scientific and historical research using the specimens from the Lady Franklin Bay Expedition (1881–1884) to the Canadian arctic, remembered for its tragedy ...

A diffusive predator-prey system with prey refuge and predator cannibalism
Mathematical Biosciences and Engineering, 2019 This paper is devoted to exploring a diffusive predator-prey system with prey refuge and predator cannibalism. We investigate dynamics of this system, including dissipation and persistence, local and global stability of constant steady states, Turing ...

Eaten alive: cannibalism is enhanced by parasites [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2015 Cannibalism is ubiquitous in nature and especially pervasive in consumers with stage-specific resource utilization in resource-limited environments. Cannibalism is thus influential in the structure and functioning of biological communities. Parasites are

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Biological control agents performance is influenced by temperature. Two cold‐tolerant lines of O. loevigatus were developed, improving their fitness at both low and high temperatures, offering advantages far augmentative biological control. Abstract BACKGROUND The performance of biological control agents (BCAs) is strongly influenced by environmental ...

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.Our understanding of the recolonization of northwest Europe in the period leading up to the Lateglacial Interstadial relies heavily on discoveries from Gough's Cave (Somerset, UK). Gough's Cave is the richest Late Upper Palaeolithic site in the British Isles, yielding an exceptional array of human remains, stone and organic artefacts, and butchered ...

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.While death remains a popular topic for anthropology, relatively few ethnographic accounts consider the modern bureaucratic processes accompanying it. One such process is public health autopsy, which scholars have largely taken for granted. Existing analysis has regarded it as a form of ‘cultural brokering’ and autopsy reluctance in communities is seen,

Insect Science, EarlyView.Aphids pose a serious risk to horticultural crops. Current biocontrol strategies often fail due to the poor establishment of natural enemies when aphids are scarce. We evaluated the potential of two aphidophagous predators, Micromus variegatus and Scymnus interruptus, to be used as preventive biocontrol agents, released before aphid infestation.

Iflaviruses in arthropods: when small is mighty
Insect Science, EarlyView.Many arthropod species harbor iflaviruses, which often cause covert (asymptomatic) infections, but may still affect host fitness. We review the impact of iflaviruses on arthropod fitness, immunity, behaviour as well as the iflavirus’ host range, transmission, tissue tropism and the interactions with other microorganisms within arthropods.
