Environmental Impact of Silicic Magmatism in Large Igneous Province Events
Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 133-151., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Impact of Environmental Microparticles on Insect Olfaction
Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Terrestrial insects underpin key ecosystem services, including pollination, herbivory regulation, decomposition, nutrient cycling, and disease control. These functions depend on chemical communication that guides insects to food, mates, hosts, shelters, and oviposition sites while helping them avoid threats.

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The increased use of agrochemicals to enhance crop production has had detrimental environmental effects including implication in the sharp decline of North American farmland‐breeding birds. Here, using a combination of deep shotgun metatranscriptomics and pesticide exposure data, we sought to assess whether exposure to cotton (Gossypium spp ...

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.The rapid decline of African wildlife populations demands immediate action to mitigate further losses and restore ecosystems. A key factor influencing wildlife distribution is the relationship between the energetic needs of species and the availability of forage, both in terms of quality and quantity.

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Daily activity budgets reflect how animals balance internal physiological demands with external environmental pressures. We analyzed 14 037 camera‐trap records from 12 mammal species in the Venezuelan Llanos to evaluate the effects of foraging strategy (faunivore versus herbivore), season, and body mass on daily activity duration, to describe diel ...
