People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Combining ecosystem services and biodiversity conservation is critical for evaluating the benefits of nature to society. However, research gaps have led to a conservation dilemma in determining which biodiversity groups should be selected in ecosystem service assessments.

Microhabitat-specificity of the hindgut microbiota in higher termites
, 2013 Die Termiten sind eine Gruppe eusozialer Insekten in der Superordnung Dictyoptera und haben sich vermutlich vor 150 Millionen Jahren aus einer Linie Schaben-ahnlicher Vorfahren entwickelt. Sie spielen beim Abbau toter Pflanzen masse eine wichtige Rolle, wobei sie von in ihrem Darm lebenden Bakterien unterstotzt werden. Man

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Freeze–thaw processes cause periglacial creep (otherwise known as solifluction) which forms solifluction lobes. These are lobate features characterized by a steep riser (front) and a smooth tread (body). Despite the widespread occurrence of these lobes, the controls on their morphometry remain poorly understood. Research into solifluction lobe

Botanic and heritage gardens as living laboratories in the age of the polycrisis
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Societal Impact Statement Cities face intertwined crises of climate, biodiversity loss and social disconnection. We show how botanic and heritage gardens can help address these challenges as living laboratories to generate place‐based evidence and public engagement.

Multiple barriers maintain species boundaries in sympatric brood‐site deceptive Gastrodia orchids
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Societal Impact Statement Gastrodia orchids are inconspicuous forest plants that lack chlorophyll and obtain carbon from fungi. Their dull‐colored, ground‐level flowers are often hidden among leaf litter, yet they rely on small flies for pollination.

Effects of bioinsecticide exposure route on aphids and their natural enemies in oilseed rape
Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Fatty acids, silicone polymers and surfactants reduced aphid numbers but caused natural enemy mortality under direct exposure, while minimal residual activity suggests potential for targeted, compatible use in integrated pest management. Abstract BACKGROUND Myzus persicae Sulzer and Brevicoryne brassicae L.

Microhabitat Specialization in Amphibians
Amphibians represent the most threatened vertebrate class globally, with approximately 41% of species assessed asthreatened or extinct by IUCN, driven principally by habitat loss, chytridiomycosis, climate change, and pollution. Theirbiphasic life history -- requiring both aquatic and terrestrial habitats for reproduction, larval development, and ...

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Extraguild prey reduces cannibalism and intraguild predation in Buchananiella whitei, while first‐instar nymphs dominate most predatory mites, with outcomes affected by body size and behavioral traits. Abstract BACKGROUND Cannibalism and intraguild predation (IGP) are common interactions among predators that can influence the effectiveness of ...
