Species-specific effects of dung beetle abundance on dung removal and leaf litter decomposition
, 2015 International audienceIn grazed ecosystems, coprophagous beetles are known to play an important role in nutrient cycling, but interactions between species identity and dung beetle abundance on soil processes remain unclear.

Removal Rates of Native and Exotic Dung by dung Beetles (Scarabaeidae: Scarabaeinae) in a Fragmented Tropical Rain Forest [PDF]
, 2010 Many studies have evaluated the effect of forest fragmentation on dung beetle assem- blage structure. However, few have analyzed how forest fragmentation affects the processes carried out by these insects in tropical forests where their food sources ...

Ecology and evolution of pyrazines in insects
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Chemical communication is the oldest and most widespread form of signalling among and within organisms. Among the many compounds involved in such communication, pyrazines – nitrogen‐containing heterocyclic molecules – are especially intriguing due to their widespread occurrence across the tree of life, from bacteria and fungi to insects and ...

Characterization of the Interaction of Known G‐quadruplex Ligands With a Minimal i‐Motif Structure
Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.The destabilization of a minimal i‐Motif (iM) structure by TMPyP4 is driven by ligand recognition of one terminal iM structural domain. ABSTRACT Peculiar genomic regions are prone to evolve transiently from double‐helix DNA to noncanonical secondary structures in response to physiological stress.
