Using artificial neural networks to explain the attraction of jewel beetles (Coleoptera: Buprestidae) to colored traps

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
Jewel beetles can discriminate leaf feeding sites and bark oviposition sites based upon the opponent comparison of their blue, green, and red photoreceptor signals. Through this mechanism, green traps resemble leaves, and purple traps resemble bark, explaining their different attractiveness to males and females.

Bat Tongues and Foraging: Linking Morphology to Hunting Strategies

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We linked the bat tongue's mediodorsal lobe (MDL), a muscular prominence, to foraging strategies. Aerial hawkers exhibit tall MDLs and prominent forward‐pointing papillae. The MDL may function as a barrier or filter, preventing unintentional ingestion of non‐food material, aiding in prey handling, and controlling food access during fast flight ...

Water, dust, and environmental justice: The case of agricultural water diversions

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Water diversions for agriculture reduce ecosystem services provided by saline lakes around the world. Exposed lakebed surfaces are major sources of dust emissions that may exacerbate existing environmental inequities. This paper studies the effects of water diversions and their impacts on particulate pollution arising from reduced inflows to ...
