Morphological and Ecological Traits Explain Variation in Desiccation Tolerance Among Bees
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.We assessed the desiccation tolerance in 22 bee species from the Greek island of Lesbos. Larger bees lost water more slowly and survived longer, while survival declined with increasing water loss rate and water content at mortality. Morphological and ecological traits shaped physiological responses, highlighting trait‐based mechanisms underlying ...

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 9, September 2026.ABSTRACT Aim This study provides a climate‐driven projection of the current distribution of dung beetle species recorded in gallery forests in the Brazilian Cerrado. These are vulnerable and underestimated environments of the Cerrado, characterized by a unique biodiversity, and home to species from other biomes such as the Amazon and Atlantic Forest in

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.We show that temperature and solar radiation shape insect community traits in scale‐dependent ways across German forests. Whereas macroclimatic temperature predicts consistent shifts in body size and colouration, microclimatic variation driven by canopy structure can override these broad patterns, producing contrasting trait filtering among taxa ...

Ecological 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 ...

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

Ecology 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.

Agricultural 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)
Journal 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.

Anatomia topográfica do nervo massetérico aplicada à transferência massetérico-facial
Revista 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 ...
