Males are worse mothers: Comparing care patterns in a facultatively caring beetle
Why should biparental care exist if offspring fare just as well when only one parent is present? In the facultatively dependent burying beetle, Nicrophorus vespilloides, manipulating environmental quality reveals that biparental care benefits offspring in form of lower personal immune requirement and parents in term of weight gain.

Paddy fields and mixed farming apply intensive agricultural cultivation, and sustainable land use causes changes in land quality, one of which affects soil chemical properties. This study aimed to compare soil chemical properties based on differences in

ABSTRACT Since the mid‐2010s, Thai public discourse has villainised upland maize cultivation in northern Thailand for deforestation and environmental degradation through the popular imagery of bald mountains. The attention has prompted a new wave of land‐use interventions urging upland smallholders to replace maize with trees and perennials.

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 ...

ABSTRACT Drawing on qualitative data among a sample of people leaving prison in Aotearoa New Zealand, this article explores how post‐prison transitional housing impacts desistance from crime and motivation to desist. While transitional housing is designed to support reintegration, our findings reveal that it can also produce unintended impacts—or ...

Fly me to the canopy: Diptera communities in oak forest crowns as bioindicators of stand decline
Diptera diversity: Oak decline increases the overall Diptera diversity, particularly in saproxylic and floricolous guilds, likely due to more open canopies and greater deadwood and floral resource availability. Family responses: Dolichopodidae, Empididae, Hybotidae and Anthomyiidae thrive in declining stands, whereas Mycetophilidae and other fungus ...

Paddy Soils in Tropical Asia : Part 6. Characteristics of Paddy Soils in Each Country
In the preceding papers paddy soils in tropical Asia have been dealt with in a general manner. In most cases only country means were given without discussing the regional differences within a country. In this paper we try to give a more detailed account on the paddy soils in each country, using the material classification and the fertility grading ...

ABSTRACT The common bean is an important crop in Eastern Africa for smallholder farmers, yet yields are often reduced due to pests, particularly Ophiomyia spencerella and Ophiomyia phaseoli. These species are partially sympatric and commonly known as the bean fly. Here, based on the similarity of their life history and developmental biology, field data
