Bacterial Infection Increases Reproductive Investment in Burying Beetles
Insects, 2015 The Nicrophorus genus lives and breeds in a microbe rich environment. As such, it would be expected that strategies should be in place to counter potentially negative effects of the microbes common to this environment. In this study, we show the response

Ecological divergence of burying beetles into the forest canopy [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Closely related species with overlapping geographic ranges encounter a significant challenge: they share many ecological traits and preferences but must partition resources to coexist. In Ontario, potentially eleven species of carrion beetles (Coleoptera:

Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, 2012 Burying beetles (Nicrophorus spp.) bury small carcasses to feed their larvae. Carcasses are a limited, high-quality resource and contests over carcasses become more frequent with increasing population density.

Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Understanding the genetic influences of traits of nonmodel organisms is crucial to understanding how novel traits arise. Do new traits require new genes or are old genes repurposed? How predictable is this process? Here, we examine this question for gene

Differences in Patterns of Reproductive Allocation between the Sexes in Nicrophorus orbicollis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Organisms are selected to maximize lifetime reproductive success by balancing the costs of current reproduction with costs to future survival and fecundity.

Contribution of males to brood care can compensate for their food consumption from a shared resource
Ecology and Evolution, 2020 The sharing of the same food source among parents and offspring can be a driver of the evolution of family life and parental care. However, if all family members desire the same meal, competitive situations can arise, especially if resource depletion is ...

High‐throughput recognition of small invertebrates via computer vision
Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 1, January–March 2026.We introduce PlanarID, a Python pipeline and Shiny app that facilitates the rapid processing of photographic records of invertebrates to identify individuals recaptured over time. The app extracts colour‐based patterns from standardised images, generates fingerprints and provides an interface for confirming or rejecting matches in the photographic ...
