We analysed the effects of vegetative stabilisation of threatened inland sand dunes on wild bees and stinging wasps (Hymenoptera: Aculeata) at 13 sites across the southern Canadian prairies. Results showed that stabilisation threatens psammophilous species and changes the structure of dune‐inhabiting aculeate communities, with asymmetric responses ...

Two rodent suborders have evolved missing amino acids in the lipid-binding region of apolipoprotein E. [PDF]
Abstract The order Rodentia comprises nearly 45% of all extant taxa, currently organized into 31 living families, some 450 genera, and roughly 2010 species (Kelt & Patton, 2020). Considering that rodents began evolving at least 66 million years ago, it is not surprising that they have diversified into five distinct suborders.

Caching rodents disproportionately disperse seed beneath invasive grass
Seed dispersal by caching rodents is a context‐dependent mutualism in many systems. Plants benefit when seed remaining in shallow caches germinates before being eaten, often gaining protection from beetles and a favorable microsite in the process ...
