Scrutinizing the Wallacean shortfall: global gaps in snake occurrence data across space and environment

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Occurrence records are fundamental for ecological and evolutionary research, providing key information on species' geographic ranges. However, these records are often taxonomically, spatially, and temporally biased, requiring caution in their use. Here, we analysed the spatial coverage of occurrence records for over 3500 snake species worldwide to ...

Bearing selection in ball-rolling dung beetles: is it constant?

open access: yes, 2010
Ball rolling in dung beetles is thought to have evolved as a means to escape intense inter- and intra-specific competition at the dung pile. Accordingly, dung beetles typically roll along a straight-line path away from the pile, this being the most ...

Comparative Assessment and Benchmarking of Metaheuristic Algorithms for Dynamic Photovoltaic Array Reconfiguration Under Diverse Shading Environments

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The solar photovoltaic (PV) installations, which are essential for renewable energy systems, are vulnerable to partial shading, resulting in considerable power losses and operational inefficiencies. The dynamic reconfiguration of PV arrays has become an effective strategy to mitigate these effects by adaptively modifying the array topology to ...

A review on the effect of macrocyclic lactones on dung-dwelling insects: Toxicity of macrocyclic lactones to dung beetles

open access: yesOnderstepoort Journal of Veterinary Research, 2015
Avermectins and milbemycins are commonly used in agro-ecosystems for the control of parasites in domestic livestock. As integral members of agro-ecosystems with importance in maintaining pasture health through dung burial behaviour, dung beetles are an ...

Forced Draught Impact on Externally Venting Flames: An Experimental and Numerical Investigation

open access: yesFire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Wind can significantly influence fire development and spread in urban and forest environments causing fatal consequences for the public, the first responders, and the environment. Wind‐driven fires can have a significant impact on structural fires as wind can increase the fire's intensity, development, and flame spread.

Dung beetles ignore landmarks for straight-line orientation

open access: yes, 2012
Upon locating a suitable dung pile, ball-rolling dung beetles shape a piece of dung into a ball and roll it away in a straight line. This guarantees that they will not return to the dung pile, where they risk having their ball stolen by other beetles ...
