ECOSYSTEM FUNCTIONING AND DUNG BEETLES [PDF]
The Bulletin of the Ecological Society of America, 2013 A major challenge of ecological research is to assess the functional consequences of species richness loss over time and space in global biodiversity hotspots, where extinctions are happening at an unprecedented rate. In this study we propose a conceptual model that incorporates body size as a critical aspect of community responses to environmental ...

Unveiling the drivers of local dung beetle species richness in the Neotropics
Journal of Biogeography, 2020 Nearly 40 different hypotheses have been put forward to explain the latitudinal diversity gradient, implying that geographical variations of biodiversity may be the result of a complex array of factors affecting organisms in different ways. Our main goal

Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study successfully establishes adamantinomatous craniopharyngioma (ACP) patient‐derived organoids (PDOs) that preserve the histopathological and genetic features of the original tumors. Through drug sensitivity assays and subsequent mechanistic analyses, the study demonstrates that Ceritinib exerts its inhibitory effects on ACP PDO growth by ...

Secondary tropical forests recover dung beetle functional diversity and trait composition
Animal Conservation, 2020 Secondary forests dominate some human‐modified tropical biomes, and this is expected to increase via both abandonment of marginal agricultural land as well as forest and landscape restoration programmes.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Seasonal cold adaptation is vital for insect survival, yet the molecular mechanisms linking diapause to mitochondrial resilience remain largely unresolved. We identify ascaroside C9 (asc‐C9) as a key endocrine signal that enhances diapause survival during cold stress by activating the AKHR–PGC1α–UCP4 axis, thereby driving cold‐induced lipolysis and ...
