Quantifying immediate and delayed effects of anthelmintic exposure on ecosystem functioning supported by a common dung beetle species. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Dung beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeoidea) support numerous ecosystem functions in livestock-grazed pastures. Exposure to veterinary anthelmintic residues in livestock dung can have lethal and sublethal effects on dung beetles, and can reduce rates of dung

Mechanically Programmable DNA Hydrogel Microparticles for 3D Cellular Systems
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.DNA hydrogel microparticles are designed to exhibit controllable viscoelasticity and stiffness across three orders of magnitude from 30Pa$30 \,\mathrm{Pa}$ to 6.5kPa$6.5 \,\mathrm{kPa}$. They are uptaken into fibroblast spheroids where they are actively remodeled by cellular forces depending on their mechanical properties.

The “hidden workers”: livestock farmers’ perceptions of ecosystem services provided by dung beetles
Ecology and SocietyNon-native dung beetles were introduced to Australian agricultural systems to provide ecosystem services, such as pasture cleaning and to control dung-breeding flies, which benefit particularly livestock farmers.

Innate olfactory preferences in dung beetles [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2010 SUMMARYThe effects of insect larval diet on adult olfactory responses to host-plant or food volatiles are still debated. The induction of adult host preferences has been studied in insects with diverse ecologies, including parasitoids, flower-visitors and phytophagous species.

Dung beetle - mammal interactions in tropical forests
, 2018 Dung beetles are functionally-important insects which feed on the faeces of mammals. They are widely studied as biodiversity indicators, and as a model taxon for investigating relationships between biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. In this thesis I

Additive Manufacturing of Patient‐Specific Intracranial Aneurysm Cell Culture Models
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.Patient‐specific intracranial aneurysm models were fabricated using chocolate moulding, 3D printed water‐soluble cores, and direct resin 3D printing. Moulding PDMS around sacrificial cores made of chocolate or 3D printed water‐soluble resin yielded accurate, expandable, and endothelializable models that outperformed resin‐based approaches.
