A review on true dung beetles' evolutionary and ecological responses to temperature and impacts on ecosystem functions

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
True dung beetles are a speciose group of ecosystem engineers that play key roles as detritivores in natural and agricultural landscapes. Scarabaeine beetles show strong thermal plasticity and there is increasing evidence of rapid evolutionary divergence in response to temperature across ecological and evolutionary timescales, with likely consequences ...

Introduced dung beetles suppress methane emissions from cattle dung and alter the temporal dynamics of greenhouse gas flux Los escarabajos peloteros introducidos suprimen las emisiones de metano del estiércol de ganado y alteran la dinámica temporal del flujo de gases de efecto invernadero Besouros coprófagos introduzidos suprimem as emissões de metano do esterco bovino e alteram a dinâmica temporal do fluxo de gases de efeito estufa

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Dung beetles suppressed cumulative methane flux from cattle dung by 85% and reduced total greenhouse gas emissions by 18%. Beetle activity accelerated initial CO2 release but did not alter total cumulative flux. N2O and NH3 fluxes were transient and not consistently driven by beetle presence.

Professional Training and Clinical/Radiographic Factors Associated With Endodontic Decision‐Making: A Before‐and‐After Study

European Journal of Dental Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Endodontic decision‐making is influenced by clinicians' professional training and by the clinical and radiographic characteristics of each case. This study aimed to assess the association of these factors with treatment decisions and to determine whether the addition of clinical information modifies treatment choices compared with

The Liquidity Sprint: Short‐Term Cash Needs and Access to Credit

European Financial Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We identify the causal drivers of the COVID‐19 ‘dash‐for‐cash’ in Europe using a hand‐collected panel of Euro‐area firms (2018‐Q4–2020‐Q3). Exploiting regional infection intensity as an instrument, we find that a one‐unit EBITDA decline raised credit‐line utilization by 15.5 percentage points in 2020‐Q2. Unlike the US ‘fallen‐angel’ narrative,

Risk Perceptions and Corporate Financing Behavior

Financial Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Using a recently developed measure of financial market risk perceptions, we show that risk perceptions affect firm‐level corporate financing behavior. Firms tend to adjust their capital structures to cater to investors' appetite for risk. When perceived risks are low, firms tend to choose more leveraged capital structures to take advantage of ...

Taxonomic, phylogenetic and functional diversity patterns of Saturniidae moth communities along a tropical forest recovery gradient in Ecuador

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Diverse Saturniidae moth communities are found in naturally recovering tropical forests in Ecuador. Community composition showed a gradual turnover with strongest differences between old‐growth forest and active agriculture, but only weak differences in taxonomic, phylogenetic and functional diversity. While our results suggest that Saturniidae are not
