A review on true dung beetles' evolutionary and ecological responses to temperature and impacts on ecosystem functions

open access: yesEcological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 4, Page 621-638, August 2026.
True dung beetles are a speciose group of ecosystem engineers that play key roles as detritivores in natural and agricultural landscapes. Scarabaeine beetles show strong thermal plasticity and there is increasing evidence of rapid evolutionary divergence in response to temperature across ecological and evolutionary timescales, with likely consequences ...

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.

Paralisia facial: análise epidemiológica em hospital de reabilitação Facial paralysis: epidemiological analysis in a rehabilitation hospital

open access: yesRevista Brasileira de Cirurgia Plástica, 2011
INTRODUÇÃO: A paralisia facial é a perda temporária ou permanente dos movimentos da mímica facial em decorrência do acometimento do nervo facial. São vários os fatores que influenciam a evolução das lesões do nervo facial.

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

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.

Applied anatomy of round window and adjacent structures of tympanum related to cochlear implantation

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Otorhinolaryngology, 2019
Introduction: Various aspects of the round window anatomy and anatomy of posterior tympanum have relevant implications for designing cochlear implant electrodes and visualizing the round window through facial recess.

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 ...

Who Is Served First? Intraspecific Traits That Drive Arrival at Food Resource in Two Phanaeus (Coleoptera: Scarabaeinae) Species

open access: yesAustral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Intra‐ and interspecific interactions may structure complex competitive scenarios in which the arrival time at a resource may play a key role in determining how individuals and populations are maintained. The speed and efficiency by which the dung beetles locate and colonise dung pads, which comprise an ephemeral and randomly distributed ...

Anatomia topográfica do nervo massetérico aplicada à transferência massetérico-facial

open access: yesRevista Brasileira de Cirurgia Plástica
▪ RESUMOO nervo massetérico é utilizado como transferência nervosa na cirurgia de reanimação facial. Por conseguinte, foi realizado um estudo anatomotopográfico da abordagem deste nervo aplicado à cirurgia de reinervação facial. O objetivo foi descrever a anatomia do nervo massetérico como referência durante a cirurgia de reanimação facial.Os dados ...
