Body Size Trade‐Offs Underpin Reproductive Success and Thermal Stress Tolerance in an Invasive Pest, the Small Hive Beetle

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
Body size differences have widely been observed in adult small hive beetles (Aethina tumida Murray, SHBs), an invasive pest of honey bee colonies. We hypothesized that parental body size influences reproductive performance, progeny fitness, and stress tolerance in SHBs.

Effects of soil physical properties on dung beetle assemblages in pasture landscapes of the Brazilian Cerrado

open access: yesAgricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 28, Issue 2, Page 169-181, May 2026.
We assessed the effect of the type of soil texture (loamy sand and sandy loam) and its physical properties on dung beetle species assemblages in a pastureland region of the Brazilian Cerrado. We found a reduction in the total and paracoprid beetle abundances in loamy sand soil. Furthermore, the increase of soil compaction negatively affected the entire

Biopsia del nervo periferico

open access: yesEMC - Neurologia, 2020
Riassunto La biopsia nervosa e una procedura considerata relativamente invasiva, i cui obiettivi sono o determinare direttamente l’eziologia di una lesione nervosa periferica o specificarne il meccanismo. A causa del crescente sviluppo dei biomarcatori sierici, della genetica molecolare e delle tecniche di diagnostica per immagini, le indicazioni per

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 ...

Math Anxiety and Its Relations to Arithmetic Fluency and Number Processing: Evidence From Finnish, Finnish‐Swedish, and Swedish Fourth‐Grade Students

open access: yesScandinavian Journal of Psychology, Volume 67, Issue 2, Page 504-518, April 2026.
ABSTRACT The negative relationship between math anxiety and mathematics performance is well established. However, factors such as how math anxiety is operationalized, the specific mathematical domain, gender, and cultural context may influence this relationship.

Hidden lineages in the African Sky Islands: A taxonomic reevaluation of Afrocarduus (Compositae)

open access: yesJournal of Systematics and Evolution, Volume 64, Issue 2, Page 401-420, March 2026.
Species delimitation is crucial for biodiversity studies. Using Hyb‐Seq and phylogenomics, we reassessed Afrocarduus, endemic to Afromontane and Afroalpine regions, uncovering 16 evolutionary lineages (2.3 Mya). Morphological data support their distinctiveness, with acaulescence evolving independently twice. The traditionally broad A.

Oxidative stress in oysters (Crassostrea corteziensis) exposed to naphthalene

open access: yesInvertebrate Survival Journal, 2014
Naphthalene is a frequent pollutant in aquatic ecosystems that can affect the physiology of organisms such as molluscs. Oyster Crassostrea corteziensis is an endemic species from the tropical West Pacific, with both ecological and economical importance ...

Dung beetles do not profit from enhanced spatial heterogeneity in temperate production forests: A forest manipulation experiment

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 2, February 2026.
Our results suggest that dung beetles do not profit from management increasing the structural heterogeneity of production forests. Future warming and openings in forest structure might have negative effects on dung beetles, and consequently on the ecosystem services they provide in production forests.

Potential climate warming effects on the distribution of an invasive alien pest species

open access: yesEcological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, Page 113-125, February 2026.
Drosophila suzukii (SWD) has low resistance to heat waves. The incidence of SWD differed between Illyric‐ and Pannonian climate zone. Desert days (frequency) only increased in the Pannonian zone. Abstract Climate warming can be a powerful driver for the establishment and further spread of alien species by lowering the abiotic resistance of native ...
