Revealing patterns of endemism in the transatlantic family Chelodesmidae (Polydesmida: Diplopoda)

open access: yesCladistics, Volume 42, Issue 2, Page 159-171, April 2026.
Abstract With fossil records dating back to the Silurian/Late Ordovician, millipedes stand out as one of the earliest terrestrial animal groups. Their limited vagility and high endemism make them valuable tools for formulating and testing biogeographic hypotheses, including those related to macro‐vicariance events.

What Goes First? Effects of Starvation on the Body Condition of a Neotropical Dung Beetle

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 4, Page 321-328, April 2026.
We investigated how prolonged starvation affects key physiological traits in the dung beetle Dichotomius bos. Prolonged starvation leads to significant reductions in body dry mass and fat reserves, while muscle mass remains unchanged. These findings indicate that dung beetles prioritize the maintenance of locomotor muscles while mobilizing stored ...

Seasonality as a structuring factor of the dung beetle community in burned neotropical savannas

open access: yesEcological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 2, Page 336-345, April 2026.
We tested the effects of fire, vegetation cover and seasonality on dung beetle communities, focusing on species richness, composition and co‐occurrence patterns in savannas. Fire did not affect species richness. However, seasonality was the dominant factor influencing species composition, followed by fire and vegetation cover.

Rainfall shapes the physiological condition, but not the body size, of an introduced dung beetle in Brazilian pastures

open access: yesEcological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 2, Page 346-355, April 2026.
Understanding rainfall‐driven physiological shifts in dung beetles is crucial to predict how climate change may affect the fitness and persistence of key insect species in tropical pastures. We compared body size, dry, lipid and muscle masses of Digitonthophagus gazella collected during dry and rainy seasons in Brazilian pastures to assess the effects ...

Resistance of Tectona grandis To Ceratocystis Wilt

open access: yesForest Pathology, Volume 56, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Tectona grandis (teak) is a tree species highly appreciated for its high‐quality hardwood and versatile industrial applications. Despite clonal teak plantations showing several advantages, such as reduced rotation time and increased wood volume production, the genetic uniformity of plantations makes them more susceptible to diseases ...

Performance of Beef Cattle Under Grazing as Affected by Urochloa decumbens Cultivars

open access: yesGrass and Forage Science, Volume 81, Issue 2, April-June 2026.
ABSTRACT Testing animal performance under grazing is fundamental to determine the potential of recently released, high‐yielding Urochloa decumbens hybrids. The objective was to evaluate the weight gain of young bulls grazing on pastures of U. decumbens cultivars Basilisk, BRS Carinás, and BRS Poraitê, as well as to assess the nutritive value and plant ...

Quantifying Root Resorption on the Incisors After Clear Aligner and Fixed Appliance Therapy Using Artificial Intelligence Tool Based CBCT Surface Models: Randomized Clinical Trial

open access: yesOrthodontics &Craniofacial Research, Volume 29, Issue 2, Page 366-374, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective To quantify external apical root resorption (EARR) on the incisors following non‐extraction treatment of Class I malocclusion patients with moderate crowding, comparing clear aligners and fixed appliances using a novel 3D analysis of Cone‐Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) derived surface models.
