Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.Mixed‐species plantations sustain tree‐dwelling arthropod diversity comparable to natural forests, with similar functional evenness but distinct species composition. Analyses of β‐diversity and LCBD highlight unique site contributions associated with reduced species and functional richness, as these distinct sites contain fewer yet more unique species.

Fire disturbance disrupts an acacia ant–plant mutualism in favor of a subordinate ant species
, 2017 Although disturbance theory has been recognized as a useful framework in examining the stability of ant–plant mutualisms, very few studies have examined the effects of fire disturbance on these mutualisms.

An Argument for Minimalism about Action
European Journal of Philosophy, EarlyView.Abstract Minimalism is the view that the mark of action is object‐causation, rather than intentionality, voluntariness or goal‐directedness. Actions, on this view, are instances of objects causing change. Despite a recent surge of interest in the view, it is still seldom regarded as a serious alternative to orthodox theories of action, according to ...

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Hydroelectric dams are common in Amazonian tributaries under federal environmental licensing that requires long‐term fisheries monitoring. This study evaluated three fishing systems targeting “pacu” species (Serrasalmidae) in the Xingu River before, during, and after construction of the Belo Monte dam (2012–2023) across four river sectors ...

Presence of the red imported fire ant at gopher tortoise nests
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2016 Red imported fire ants (Solenopsis invicta; fire ants) are predators of turtle (Testudine) eggs and hatchlings, but little information is available indicating how and when fire ants detect turtle nests during incubation.

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.Forest degradation increased termite‐mediated litter decomposition, whereas no such effect was detected in undisturbed forests. Reduced ant predation and altered forest conditions were associated with higher termite abundance and faster litter decomposition.

Induced Volatile Chemistry and Arthropod Predation Across a Tree Diversity Gradient
Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Plant volatile organic compounds (VOCs) play a key role in defence against herbivores and in mediating multitrophic interactions. Yet, how surrounding plant diversity modulates these responses in forest trees remains poorly understood. We examined the effects of tree species richness on induced VOC emissions and arthropod predation in Quercus ...

The Grammar of Perception: A Case Study of Guambiano (Namtrik) and Duna
Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.Abstract Although the senses provide a common basis for our experience of the world, cross‐linguistic research has revealed substantial diversity across languages in how perceptual experiences are encoded in words. Such variability is also present at the level of grammatical structure, though the project of charting the parameters and limits of cross ...

Potential health benefits of cold‐water immersion: the central role of PGC‐1α
The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend Cold‐water immersion (CWI) elicits autonomic, somato‐motoric (shivering thermogenesis), endocrine and metabolic, sensory transduction, and local biophysical effects that may converge on the transcriptional co‐activator PGC‐1α (centre).
