Dung beetles as bioindicators of environmental change from artisanal small-scale gold mining
Environmental Research: EcologyThe expansion of gold mining across Amazonia is a major driver of deforestation, yet its impacts on biodiversity are understudied. Dung beetles (Scarabaeinae) are excellent bioindicators and have been shown to be highly sensitive to habitat modification,

Dung beetle community composition data
, 2021 Data was collected using either dung-baited pitfall traps or flight interception traps. Each row represents one trap, with the author/study information, name of study site, sampling period, trap type and habitat type.

Microscale 3D‐Printed Digital Strain Switches for Embedded Mechanical Computation
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.Microscale 3D‐printed strain switches on flexible films convert deformation into native digital signals at geometry defined thresholds. A closed form model predicts switching from 3000 to 15 000 microstrain and is validated across 110 devices. Reliable ohmic closure and strain activated AND, OR, and XOR logic point toward low‐power mechanical ...

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.This review summarizes moisture‐adaptive strategies that enable triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) to operate across diverse moisture conditions. It examines moisture‐management methods, including exclusion, directional transport, removal, and utilization, with charge‐regulation approaches based on interfacial, dielectric, and structural engineering.

Optimising bait for pitfall trapping of Amazonian dung beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeinae).
PLoS ONE, 2013 The accurate sampling of communities is vital to any investigation of ecological processes and biodiversity. Dung beetles have emerged as a widely used focal taxon in environmental studies and can be sampled quickly and inexpensively using baited ...

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Here, we present a textile, wearable capacitive interface enabling multidirectional remote control by dynamically modulating electrode overlap and spacing via a freely gliding upper electrode. A forearm‐mounted prototype drives robotic and media tasks with 12–15 ms latency, maintains < 0.8% drift after 500 cycles, and remains stably functional at 90 ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study uncovers an unusual RNAi pathway in the rhizarian pathogen Plasmodiophora brassicae. In the absence of Dicer, a Drosha‐like RNase III protein supports the biogenesis of predominant 21‐nt small RNAs, and two Argonaute proteins mediate small RNA‐guided silencing.
