Species traits shape the relationship between local and regional species abundance distributions
Ecosphere, 2019 The species abundance distribution (SAD) depicts the relative abundance of species within a community, which is a key concept in ecology. Here, we test whether SADs are more likely to either follow a lognormal‐like or follow a logseries‐like distribution

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract This study presents the first detailed description of bioerosion traces produced by insects in bones from the Santa Cruz Sequence (early Carnian, Santa Maria Supersequence, Brazil). An array of traces is reported, consisting of notches, a tube, trails of grooves attributed to the ichnotaxon Osteocallis mandibulus and ornamented depressions ...

Advances and Challenges of Using the Sterile Insect Technique for the Management of Pest Lepidoptera
Insects, 2019 Over the past 30 years, the sterile insect technique (SIT) has become a regular component of area-wide integrated pest management (AW-IPM) programs against several major agricultural pests and vectors of severe diseases.

Design of Solar Energy Harvesting Reactor From 2D to 3D Structures for Solar Thermal Conversion
Carbon Innovation, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Solar energy utilisation is pivotal for advancing sustainable and renewable energy solutions, yet the rational design of high‐efficiency photothermal conversion devices remains a critical challenge. This paper systematically examines the evolution of photothermal reactor architectures from two‐dimensional (2D) to 3D structures, emphasising ...

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.Based on the 90 datasets, ERT and four optimization algorithms were used to build four hybrid models to predict the UCS of the backfill body. The SMA‐ERT model was the most effective model, and it can reliably guide the design of the backfill ratio parameters. Abstract This study analyzed the feasibility of using titanium (Ti) tailings as a backfilling

Distribution and taxonomy of two closely related Nychiodes species in southern Italy (Lepidoptera, Geometridae, Ennominae) [PDF]
Nota LepidopterologicaWe investigated the distribution and species circumscription of Nychiodes obscuraria Villers (1789) and Nychiodes ragusaria Millière (1884). The morphology of male and female genitalia of Calabrian populations (southern Italy) revealed them to belong to ...

Ecography, EarlyView.Insects are the most diverse terrestrial organisms, yet they are underrepresented in large‐scale conservation assessments. To address this gap, the California Insect Barcoding Initiative is developing a publicly accessible, statewide DNA‐barcode reference library for California insects to support scalable surveys, establish baseline biodiversity ...
