Plasticity in parental care: Interspecific competitor cues shape biparental cooperation in a burying beetle

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 8, Page 1358-1371, August 2026.
Our study contributes to our understanding of the effects of interspecific competition in species with biparental care where male and female parents must somehow coordinate their response to interspecific competition. Abstract Interspecific competition is an important evolutionary driver of many species' life histories and behaviours, arising wherever ...

Ecological and social factors lead to variation in parental care between sexes in a burying beetle

Insect Science, Volume 33, Issue 4, Page 1618-1632, August 2026.
We experimentally investigated the effects of ecological (resource availability and interspecific competition) and social factors (intraspecific competition) on parental care and reproductive success in the burying beetle Nicrophorus vespilloides. Our results showed that males and females adjust their parental care based on resource availability and ...

Evaluating use of extant species response to invasive predator control as an indicator of functional eradication to support species reintroductions

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 8, August 2026.
The removal of brown treesnakes resulted in an increase in the number of lizards already present that were counted in a treated area. We used this increase as a trigger to reintroduce three lizard species no longer present in the area, likely due to predation by the snake. Two out of those three species were found to have established. Abstract Invasive

Comparing Methods for Measuring Predation: Toward a Quantitative–Informative Indicator of Natural Pest Control

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 8, Page 801-811, August 2026.
Predation methods vary widely in their ability to quantify biological control. Estimating predation rates (the number of prey killed per predator per time unit) is crucial. Combining predation rates with predator abundance yields real‐time field estimates of pests consumed.

The Parasitoid Wasp Glyptapanteles porthetriae Induces a Photoperiod‐Dependent Diapause‐Like State in Its Potential Overwintering Host Lasiocampa quercus

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 8, Page 896-907, August 2026.
We evaluated Lasiocampa quercus as an overwintering host for the koinobiont larval endoparasitoid Glyptapanteles porthetriae by exposing parasitized larvae to different environmental conditions and comparing parasitoid development with that in the primary host Lymantria dispar.
