Perceptions and pathways: Linking biodiversity to health and well‐being in lower‐income contexts
Abstract The biodiversity loss and human health crises are deeply interconnected, but existing frameworks linking the two are largely derived from high‐income contexts, limiting their applicability to much of the world. While these frameworks have been valuable, this gap is especially critical in rapidly urbanising low‐ and middle‐income regions, where

Performance studies of the Belle II Silicon Vertex Detector with data taken at the DESY test beam in April 2016 [PDF]
Belle II is a multipurpose detector currently under construction which will be operated at the next generation B-factory SuberKEKB in Japan. Its main devices for the vertex reconstruction are the Silicon Vertex Detector (SVD) and the Pixel Detector (PXD).

Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Bottom‐up effects play a critical role in shaping community structure and trophic interactions within detritus‐based food webs. Coarse deadwood supports high biodiversity and contributes to detrital food webs during its decomposition process.

Millipedes are related to trilobites, spiders and ticks, sowbugs, and crayfish, centipedes, and insects. Each group represents a different class of arthropods. Millipedes or "thousandlegged worms" include over 800 species of the class Diplopoda in North America.

Eco-hydrology of dynamic wetlands in an Australian agricultural landscape: a whole of system approach for understanding climate change impacts [PDF]
Increasing rates of water extraction and regulation of hydrologic processes, coupled with destruction of natural vegetation, pollution and climate change, are jeopardizing the future persistence of wetlands and the ecological and socio-economic functions

The development of insect diversity and ecosystem complexity on green roofs: A review
A classification system of different roof types is presented to improve consistency in green roof research. Landscape and green roof characteristics influence ecosystem development, but can be further explained by ecological concepts, like neutral and niche theory.

Laboulbeniales are highly specific ectoparasitic fungi of arthropods (insects, millipedes, and arachnids). The first Laboulbeniales parasitizing the millipede order Chordeumatida (Diplopoda) were discovered and described as a new dioecious genus of ...

The ILC DEPFET Prototype: Report of the Test Beam at CERN 2008 [PDF]
The DEPFET Collaboration pursues the development of a high resolution pixel vertex detector for future colliders (like ILC), based on the integration of amplifying transistors into a fully depleted bulk.

Southeast Asia’s karst landscapes host a remarkable yet understudied diversity of cave‐dwelling fauna, where morphological conservatism often masks true species boundaries. Using an integrative taxonomic framework, we investigated the systematics of the millipede family Cambalopsidae Cook, 1895 inhabiting caves across Thailand, Laos, Myanmar, and ...
