Floral resource availability and surrounding land cover influence bumble bee community composition in an agricultural landscape

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Multispecies occupancy models indicated that the occurrence of bumble bees was associated with local floral resources as well as the landscape surrounding a site within 1.6 km. Estimated species richness was greater at sites with more forest cover and lower at sites with more corn and soybean agriculture in the surrounding landscape.

Incorporating light pollution into projections of the future distribution of Aspisoma sticticum Gemminger, 1870 under climate change in South America

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Climate‐only models predict severe habitat contractions by 2100, especially in the Amazon, Cerrado and Caatinga, while southern and coastal Atlantic Forest areas remain refugial. Including artificial light at night increased projected stability and apparent suitability gains, especially in central and eastern South America.

Fire‐driven forest degradation enhances termite activity and accelerates litter decomposition in the Amazonia rainforest

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.

Evaluating 20% and 40% Inclusion of Sugary Former Foods in Pig Diets: Effects on Growth Performance, Feeding Behaviour, Carcass and Meat Quality Traits

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Former food products (FFP) are food industry leftovers that can be used as feed ingredients. We investigated the effects of sugary FFP on growth, feeding behaviour, carcass and meat quality of pigs fattened to a heavy weight. Three inclusion levels were tested: 0% (FFP‐0 = control), 20% (FFP‐20) and 40% (FFP‐40) FFP in grower (20–60 kg BW ...

On the importance of shelter availability for reptiles provided by burrow‐digging ecosystem engineers: A systematic review and a case study

Journal of Zoology, EarlyView.
In this article, we show that ground burrows influenced reptile populations inconsistently across both the 5‐year field study in the Kiskunság and the broader systematic review, which together revealed positive, negative, and neutral effects across species and habitat types.

Developmental Plasticity and Behavioural Evolution in Rodents: Insights From African Striped Mice (Rhabdomys)

Journal of Zoology, EarlyView.
Our review synthesizes how early‐life experiences shape behavioural development in rodents, drawing on developmental plasticity, non‐genetic inheritance and epigenetic mechanisms. Using African striped mice (Rhabdomys) and other small mammal systems as case studies, it presents an integrative framework linking parental care, developmental pathways and ...
