Genome Variation in Three Anthophora Bee Species Reflects Divergent Demographic Histories

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Population genomics can reveal trends and drivers of biodiversity loss, but it is still unclear how best to use measures of genome variation to understand population vulnerability in insects. Here we study genome variation in three species of Anthophora bees that show contrasting population trends in northern Europe.

A method for detecting construction deviations in large and complex building structures utilizing synthetic point clouds for segmentation

open access: yesComputer-Aided Civil and Infrastructure Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract Point cloud‐based construction quality assessment and quality control (QA/QC) are playing an increasingly important role in large‐scale complex building projects. However, this approach faces several challenges, such as the laborious and time‐intensive process of manual point cloud segmentation, the high cost of point cloud labeling, and the ...

Citizen science reveals host‐switching in louse flies and keds (Diptera: Hippoboscidae) during a period of anthropogenic change

open access: yesMedical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
A study of louse flies in the United Kingdom, Isle of Man, and Ireland found 212 different interactions between Hippoboscidae and their hosts, of which 70 were previously unrecorded. No louse flies were found on aquatic species of birds. Host‐switching to gulls (Laridae) has occurred during a period in which these species have started relying on ...

Vascular plant diversity in Swedish road verges of high conservation value is threatened by the invasive alien herb Lupinus polyphyllus Lindley

open access: yesNordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Road verges can be important habitats for vascular plant communities and the organisms that, in turn, depend on them. However, the plant diversity in Swedish road verges is threatened by the invasive perennial plant Lupinus polyphyllus Lindl. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effects of L.

Nutrient landscape of a cricket nymph: How dietary protein and carbohydrate shape intake, performance, and body composition in the two‐spotted cricket, Gryllus bimaculatus

open access: yesPhysiological Entomology, EarlyView.
Survival of Gryllus bimaculatus nymphs was highest on protein‐biased diets (P:C = 3.86:1), whereas growth and body mass were maximized on slightly carbohydrate‐biased diets (P:C = 1:1.47). Maximum body protein and lipid contents were attained at P:C ratios of 1.14:1 and 1:5.56, respectively. When given a food choice, G. bimaculatus nymphs self‐selected

Shear Lag Effect on Box Steel Beams with Wide Curved Flanges

open access: yesApplied Sciences
For wide flange box sections, conventional Euler–Bernoulli beam theory with maintaining the cross-section planarity may lead to underestimation of axial stresses.

The fettered and the flea: a new poem by Edmund Waller☆

open access: yesRenaissance Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract This contribution explores for the first time a 22‐line poem in a British Library manuscript, ‘To a young lady that kept a flea chay'nd in a box’, which can be convincingly ascribed to Edmund Waller. Its most famous relative is Donne's ‘The Flea’, but its ancestry differs.

Moss‐Accumulated eDNA Is a Promising Source for Terrestrial Biodiversity Surveys Across the Tree of Life and Biomes

open access: yesMolecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Developments in the environmental DNA (eDNA) field have revolutionised our ability to map biodiversity by providing cost‐effective and non‐invasive means to survey organisms across the tree of life. In the terrestrial realm, a variety of eDNA sources have been employed, but we lack easily accessible and cosmopolitan sources of terrestrial eDNA.
