The influence of drought, precipitation and fossorial mammal reintroduction on the density of fossorial arthropods and their burrows in arid Australia

open access: yesAustral Ecology, Volume 48, Issue 7, Page 1252-1273, November 2023., 2023
Burrowing arthropods can be an important source of food and providers of shelter and understanding factors that contribute to their population fluctuations is important for tracking their dynamic ecosystem interactions. Here we measured the changes in the density of fossorial arthropod burrows and their occupants over a period spanning the tail‐end of ...

Sexual selection and predation drive the repeated evolution of stridulation in Heteroptera and other arthropods

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 98, Issue 3, Page 942-981, June 2023., 2023
ABSTRACT Acoustic and substrate‐borne vibrations are among the most widely used signalling modalities in animals. Arthropods display a staggering diversity of vibroacoustic organs generating acoustic sound and/or substrate‐borne vibrations, and are fundamental to our broader understanding of the evolution of animal signalling.

Multifaceted DNA metabarcoding of guano to uncover multiple classes of ecological data in two different bat communities

open access: yesEvolutionary Applications, Volume 15, Issue 7, Page 1189-1200, July 2022., 2022
Abstract DNA contained in animal scat provides a wealth of information about the animal, and DNA metabarcoding of scat collections can provide key information about animal populations and communities. Next‐generation DNA sequencing technologies and DNA metabarcoding provide an efficient means for obtaining information available in scat samples. We used

Novel mitochondrial gene rearrangements pattern in the millipede Polydesmus sp. GZCS‐2019 and phylogenetic analysis of the Myriapoda

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 3, March 2022., 2022
We determined the complete mitochondrial genome of Polydesmus sp. GZCS‐2019 and all genes encoded on + strand. Several genes rearrangements were detected and we propose a new rearrangement model: “TD (N\R) L + C” based on the genome‐scale duplication + (non‐random/random) loss + recombination. We combine phylogenetic analysis, divergence time, and gene

Depredación de Centromachetes aff. pococki (Kraepelin, 1894) (Scorpiones: Bothriuridae) sobre Akymnopellis sp. (Scolopendromorpha: Scolopendridae) en Chile

open access: yesRevista Chilena de Entomología, 2022
Estudios sobre los ciempiés escolopendromorfos chilenos son escasos, especialmente en las áreas de ecología y etología. Para contribuir al conocimiento de estos dos últimos campos, se presenta el primer registro de depredación del escorpión ...

The lost lizards of Christmas Island: A retrospective assessment of factors driving the collapse of a native reptile community

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, Volume 3, Issue 2, February 2021., 2021
Abstract Until recently, the reptile fauna of Christmas Island in the Indian Ocean comprised five endemic species (two skinks, two geckos, and one snake) and one native, non‐endemic skink. Four of these species were common and widespread until at least 1979, but by 2012 had disappeared from the wild.
