Digging into dirt: Rewilding with threatened mammals shapes soil‐emerging insect assemblages
Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.By comparing insect communities across treatments at two time points, we show that reintroduced digging mammals shape soil‐emerging insect assemblages. This provides empirical evidence that restoring ecosystem engineers may drive broader community‐level change in semi‐arid ecosystems. Abstract Digging mammals function as ecosystem engineers by altering

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.In a large‐scale German forest experiment, habitat heterogeneity increased spider turnover but reduced local alpha diversity through habitat filtering. Together, these effects lowered landscape‐scale spider diversity. As such, the study shows whether environmental heterogeneity increases or decreases biodiversity depends on the balance between habitat ...

Dung and soil type as factors for niche partitioning in dung beetles (Scarabaeidae), May 2005
, 2005 The Competitive Exclusion Principle proposes that each species fulfills a unique niche, yet dung beetles are an extremely diverse taxon and subsist upon a very limited resource.

Recovery of male DNA acquired from carrion‐feeding insects in a simulated sexual assault scenario
Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.Abstract When bodies of sexual assault victims are discovered in advanced stages of decomposition, the recovery of direct DNA evidence is often compromised, posing a challenge in criminal investigations. This study aimed to determine insect colonization and succession patterns on pig carcasses inoculated with semen and to assess the feasibility of ...

Effect of Dung Beetles on Dung Decomposition and Nuntrient Cycling in a Nebraska Rangeland
, 2016 Management practice can have impacts on the abundance and frequency of dung beetle populations and nutrient cycling in grazing systems. Also, agriculture and livestock production land use is a considerable source of anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG ...

Ecological and social factors lead to variation in parental care between sexes in a burying beetle
Insect Science, EarlyView.We experimentally investigated the effects of ecological (resource availability and interspecific competition) and social factors (intraspecific competition) on parental care and reproductive success in the burying beetle Nicrophorus vespilloides. Our results showed that males and females adjust their parental care based on resource availability and ...
