Pruning slash drives ambrosia beetle (Curculionidae: Scolytinae, Platypodinae) activity in Khaya grandifoliola C.DC.: Slash removal as a preventive management strategy Resíduos de poda aumentam a atividade de besouros da ambrosia (Curculionidae: Scolytinae, Platypodinae) em Khaya grandifoliola C.DC.: A remoção dos resíduos como estratégia preventiva de manejo

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 28, Issue 4, Page 677-684, November 2026.
Slash retention increased ambrosia beetle activity in Khaya grandifoliola, acting as both breeding substrate and source of attractive volatile cues that promoted localized population buildup. Beetle attacks occurred only near retained slash, while no attacks were recorded in slash‐removal plots, demonstrating that residue removal effectively prevents ...

Run to the Caves: Frog Refuges From Harsh Environments

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 6, November 2026.
ABSTRACT The use of caves by primarily nontroglobiont organisms can be critical when the conditions of surrounding epigean habitats deteriorate as a result of synergic effects of climate changes and degradation of native vegetation cover. Under scenarios of unbalanced temperatures, high solar incidence, low humidity and reduced shelter availability in ...

Integrating Bioacoustics and Community Science for Advancing Bat Research: Insights From Urban–Rural Landscapes Across Regions in Peru

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 6, November 2026.
Pioneering community science bat research in the Neotropics combines community participation with passive acoustic monitoring across urban–rural landscapes in Peru. The study shows how urbanization and environmental conditions shape bat richness and activity, while community‐generated data recover ecological patterns broadly consistent with expert‐led ...

Potential Range Shifts of Exotic Plants: Insights From a Mining‐Affected River Basin in Southeast Brazil

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 6, November 2026.
ABSTRACT The concurrent effects of climate change and anthropogenic disturbances, such as mining disasters, can significantly influence the distribution of exotic plant species, either by reducing climatic suitability for some taxa or by creating disturbed conditions that favor their establishment and spread.

Sit‐and‐Wait for the Agoutis: Dung Beetle Phoresy on Dasyprocta azarae in a Tropical Forest

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 6, November 2026.
ABSTRACT We document the first case of phoresy by dung beetles with a rodent, involving Canthon (Goniocanthon) smaragdulus subviridis and agoutis (Dasyprocta azarae). Camera traps set in a tropical forest recorded 21 phoretic events, with agoutis carrying 1–6 beetles each. This behavior likely enhances how beetles locate fresh dung.
