Isolation of antibacterial response genes from the dung beetle Copris tripartitus (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) immunized with Escherichia coli

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2008
Dot blot hybridization of total RNA from normal and bacteria-injected larvae of the dung beetle Copris tripartitus identified 13 cDNA clones that seem to be associated with the immune response.

Operando X‐Ray Diffraction and Total Scattering Characterization of Battery Materials: Not Just a Pretty Picture

open access: yesAdvanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
This review focuses on operando studies of battery materials by X‐ray diffraction (XRD) and total X‐ray scattering (TXS). This work highlights potential pitfalls and identify best‐practices for operando studies and reviews some unusual experiments to illustrate how these methods can be applied beyond the evaluation of the early‐stage cycling mechanisms

Dung beetle (Coleoptera: Scarabaeinae) attraction to woodcreeper (Aves: Dendrocolaptidae) dropping in the central Amazon [PDF]

open access: yesActa Amazonica
Bird droppings are an unusual food resource for coprophagous insects and used mostly by opportunistic decomposers. Among them, dung beetles feed mainly on dung, although the species differ in their trophic plasticity.

Information Dense and Industry Scalable Accelerated Formation

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
Pulsed formation can reduce lithium‐ion battery formation time by over 50% while maintaining or enhancing performance. Validated on 25 Ah prismatic cells, this industry‐scalable method yields thinner, more homogeneous solid electrolyte interphases (SEIs).

Buzzing in the pat : a new large-scale method for studying dung beetle functions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Lantakuoriaiset ovat tärkeitä maatalousekosysteemien toiminnan kannalta. Lantakuoriaisten keskuu-dessa useat erilaiset toiminnalliset ryhmät hajottavat laiduntavien eläinten lantaa ja kierrättävät lannan ravinteita takaisin maahan.

Differences between beetle communities colonizing cattle and horse dung

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2014
Piles of fresh cow and horse dung were placed in a pasture in Dziarny in north-east Poland. The differences between the beetle communities colonizing both types of dung at various stages of succession were analyzed.

A detailed redescription of a skeletally immature ‘Redondasaurus’ suggests ontogenetic transformations in the taxon mirror phytosaurian morphological evolution

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The study of morphological evolution is fundamentally tied to ontogeny, yet studies of these heterochronic processes in the fossil record are rare. Fossils belonging to an ontogenetic series are difficult to assign to an ontogenetic stage due to inconsistent proxies for skeletal ages, challenging to taxonomically assign due to morphological ...

An annotated checklist of Wisconsin Scarabaeoidea (Coleoptera) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
A survey of Wisconsin Scarabaeoidea (Coleoptera) conducted from literature searches, collection inventories, and three years offield work (1997-1999), yielded 177 species representing nine families, two of which, Ochodaeidae and Ceratocanthidae ...
