Field evaluation of electrophysiologically-active dung volatiles as chemical lures for trapping of dung beetles

Scientific Reports
Dung beetles are economically important beneficial insects that process dung. To locate this source, they use volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The objectives of the study were to evaluate the attractiveness of ten electrophysiologically-active dung ...

Rainforest conversion to monoculture plantations restructures functional communities of braconid parasitoid wasps

Oikos, EarlyView.
The conversion of rainforests into rubber and oil palm plantations drives biodiversity loss in Southeast Asia. Parasitoid wasps are highly diverse and play an essential role in ecosystems by regulating herbivore populations. Declines in density and diversity of parasitoid wasps, after land‐use change is well‐documented, but potential functional losses ...

Life‐history traits and phylogeny structure taxon‐specific species–substrate relationships in deadwood

Oikos, EarlyView.
To understand the structuring of species assemblages, integrating life‐history traits and evolutionary heritage in analyses is vital. This allows the assessment of a mechanistic link between species and their environment. Deadwood systems are vital for nutrient cycling and biodiversity support, governed by complex intra‐ and inter‐specific fungal and ...

Geographical distribution and phoretic associations of the viviparous nematode Tokorhabditis atripennis with Onthophagus dung beetles in Japan

Journal of Nematology
Viviparity is generally considered to be rare in animals. In nematodes, only six species of Rhabditida are viviparous. Five of these species have been identified in association with Onthophagus dung beetles, with Tokorhabditis atripennis being repeatedly

Resilience‐as‐doing: A relational model for living practice

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Dominant frameworks treat resilience as a capacity to withstand disturbance and recover, something systems, communities or individuals either have or lack. This paper proposes a different understanding, grounded in relational onto‐epistemology and first‐person, practice‐based, autoethnographic inquiry situated within a household garden.

Identifying Priority Habitats for Dung Beetle Conservation: Taxonomic and Functional Responses Across a Land‐Use Disturbance Gradient

Ecology and Evolution
Anthropogenic activities are causing a decline in dung beetles due to land‐use change and overexploitation. This underscores the need for their conservation, for which identification of high‐priority habitats and associated species is necessary.

The place bonding potential of nature‐based citizen science with refugee children and youth

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Nature‐based citizen science often involves close interaction with places. In addition to providing benefits, such as learning opportunities and contact with nature, it can facilitate and shape bonds between people and places. Research exploring the place bonding potential of such projects is still in its infancy. This paper addresses this gap

Perceptions of nativeness shift quite rapidly over time

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract The spread of non‐native species has emerged as one of the most pressing challenges for conservation and ecosystem management. Yet attitudes towards species change, making it possible for non‐native species to be perceived as native after some time.

In Situ Curing‐Enabled 3D Printing of Continuous Fiber‐Reinforced Thermosetting Composites

Journal of Polymer Science, EarlyView.
In situ curing‐enabled the 3D printing of continuous fiber/thermoset composites, which were reviewed. Particularly, four types of in situ curing, were discussed, including Radiation‐induced curing, photothermal curing, electrothermal curing, and frontal polymerization. AI‐integrated printing was also analyzed.
