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

open access: yesEcological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 4, Page 621-638, August 2026.
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 ...

Influence of vapour pressure deficit and CO2 on the thermal sensitivity of stomatal function in tropical trees

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 3, Page 1075-1087, August 2026.
Examining the potential thermal sensitivity of the model parameter g1 when accounting for the additive nature of underlying components including CO2 compensation point (Г*) and the marginal water cost of plant carbon gain (λ), when assuming λ is dependent upon changes in the viscosity (inverse of fluidity) of water (η, Pa·s) and the solubility of CO2 ...

Parental Social Environment Has no Effect on Offspring Development in the Dung Beetle: A Test of Adult Sex Ratio Effects

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
We investigated whether adult sex ratio (ASR) induces transgenerational plasticity in the dung beetle Onthophagus taurus via germline transmission or behavioral parental investment. Although varying ASR treatments significantly altered parental contest and courtship behaviors, utilizing a novel egg‐transplantation protocol revealed no ASR‐induced ...

Plant Functional Groups Mediated the Effects of Plateau Pika Disturbance and Mowing on the Community Stability of Alpine Meadow Plants

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
The response mechanisms of plant community composition, functional group biomass, vegetation‐soil properties, and community stability to plateau pika and mowing disturbance intensity exhibited distinct differences. Gramineae and Sedge aboveground biomass and soil nutrient content demonstrated more pronounced responses to both disturbances and their ...

Molecular Genetic Characterization of the Diet of Limestone and Rainforest Langurs

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
Using DNA metabarcoding of 419 fecal samples collected over 1 year, we characterized and compared the diets of four Trachypithecus species from rainforest and limestone habitats in Vietnam. Langurs consumed a remarkably high diversity of plants (122–129 genera across 59–73 families), with clear interspecific differences in dietary composition and ...
