Predation of bat (Molossus molossus: Molossidae) by the centipede Scolopendra viridicornis (Scolopendridae) in Southern Amazonia [PDF]

Acta Amazonica, 2015
Centipedes are opportunistic carnivore predators, and large species can feed on a wide variety of vertebrates, including bats. The aim of this study was to report the third record of bat predation by centipedes worldwide, the first record in the Amazon ...

Trapping is not effective for limiting damage by Vespa velutina in vineyards

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 10, Page 6768-6778, October 2025.
Vespa velutina is an invasive hornet that damages grapes. Baited traps are commonly used to mitigate them, but trap effectiveness in vineyards has not been tested. Our study found no significant reduction in damage from trapping, and high and variable by‐catch rates. Sustainable vineyard management methods should be explored.

Molecular insights of Circadian Rhythm in Chilopoda [PDF]

Journal of Stress Physiology & Biochemistry
The control of the sleep-wake cycle as well as several physiological and behavioral processes in living things depends on circadian rhythms. Circadian rhythms are regulated by internal biological clocks that coordinate with environmental stimuli like ...

Taxonomic and Functional Structure of Benthic and Terrestrial Invertebrates During Wet and Dry Phases of an Intermittent River Within Central Italy

River Research and Applications, Volume 41, Issue 8, Page 1737-1748, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Temporary rivers and streams are characterized by flow cessation and support high biodiversity of both aquatic and terrestrial species. In this study, we analyzed biological and ecological traits of benthic invertebrates to assess the ecological resilience and resistance of an intermittent river in Central Italy.

A globally influential area‐condition metric is a poor proxy for invertebrate biodiversity

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 10, Page 2529-2540, October 2025.
Our results highlight the need to incorporate factors beyond habitat type and condition into site evaluations, and to complement metric use with species‐based surveys. Abstract There is increasing demand for standardised, easy‐to‐use metrics to assess progress towards achieving biodiversity targets and the effectiveness of ecological compensation ...

Biodiversity in mountain soils above the treeline

Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 5, Page 1877-1949, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Biological diversity in mountain ecosystems has been increasingly studied over the last decade. This is also the case for mountain soils, but no study to date has provided an overall synthesis of the current state of knowledge. Here we fill this gap with a first global analysis of published research on cryptogams, microorganisms, and fauna in ...
