Seasonal variation in the diel activity of a dung beetle assemblage [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 The seasonal and diel variations of dung beetle species were studied in an Iberian mid-mountain locality to examine the interaction between these two temporal rhythms. We assume that a seasonal variation in the diel activity would support the notion that

Diel activity patterns of two distinct populations of Aedes aegypti in Miami, FL and Brownsville, TX [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 The diel biting activity of Aedes (Stegomyia) aegypti (L) populations was extensively investigated in the early 1900s to gain more information on the biology of Ae.

Diel activity structures the occurrence of a mammal community in a human‐dominated landscape [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Anthropogenic developments alter the environment and resources available to wildlife communities. In response to these real or perceived threats from this development, species may adjust their spatial occurrence. Additionally, wildlife species may adjust

Coevolutionary patterns between coloration and diel activity in moths [PDF]
Royal Society Open ScienceAnti-predator coloration is part of a key survival strategy in animals, often coevolving with behavioural traits such as diel activity. While previous studies have explored the link between conspicuous sexual signals and diurnality, the association ...

A global dataset of diel activity patterns in insect communities [PDF]
Scientific DataInsect activity powers ecosystems and food production globally. Although insect activity is known to vary with the rise and setting of the sun, there is surprisingly limited empirical information on how insect abundance and richness varies across the 24 ...

The Diel Activity Pattern of Haemaphysalis longicornis and Its Relationship with Climatic Factors [PDF]
InsectsHaemaphysalis longicornis is one of the most medically important carriers of various pathogens. Although H. longicornis is an important vector, only basic ecological and biological information has been obtained, primarily focusing on its abundance and ...

Increased Temporal Overlap in Diel Activity Patterns Potentially Intensifies Interspecific Competition Among Sympatric Large Carnivores in the Sanjiangyuan Region of China [PDF]
AnimalsActivity patterns constitute a critical adaptive trait in large carnivores, enabling them to manage interspecific competition, enhance their foraging efficiency, and adapt to fluctuating environmental conditions.

Acoustic accelerometry reveals diel activity patterns in premigratory Port Jackson sharks [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Distinguishing the factors that influence activity within a species advances understanding of their behavior and ecology. Continuous observation in the marine environment is not feasible but biotelemetry devices provide an opportunity for detailed ...

Diel study reveals increased nighttime bacterial activity and its connection to organic compounds in the ocean [PDF]
Communications BiologyThe linkages between dissolved organic matter (DOM) dynamics and bacterial activity (BAct) are key to regulating carbon fluxes in marine food webs. While transcriptional activities have shown diel patterns, the connections between BAct and DOM on the ...

Diel feeding activity and intensity in the European eel Anguilla anguilla (L.) during an annual cycle in a Cantabrian stream [PDF]
Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2008 Diel and seasonal shifts in the feeding activity and intensity of a riverine stock of European eels, Anguilla anguilla (L.), were assessed in the Río LLorín, a right-side tributary of the Río Esva drainage (northwestern Spain).
