Scientists' warning on the need for greater inclusion of dragonflies in global conservation

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 18, Issue 4, Page 465-484, July 2025.
Stressors to dragonflies are multiple, and in many cases interactive. Specialist species are at risk, while generalists can benefit from some human activities. Dragonflies are sentinels for conservation, being promising surrogates for other taxa while also being appealing to citizen science initiatives.

Microbial Responses to Micronutrient Amendments in Oxygenated and Deoxygenated Waters of the Arabian Sea

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 17, Issue 3, June 2025.
Microcosm experiments and 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing show that micronutrients (Zn, Fe, Co) or their combination (Zn + Fe + Co) significantly influence nutrient concentrations and microbial dynamics in both oxygenated (73 m) and deoxygenated (200 m) waters of the Arabian Sea.

Enhancing Learners' Reading Comprehension With Preferred Background Music: An Eye‐Tracking, EEG, and Heart Rate Study

Reading Research Quarterly, Volume 60, Issue 2, April/May/June 2025.
ABSTRACT It is often observed that many learners prefer reading texts with background music (BGM), which may enhance engagement and mood in reading. However, the impact of BGM on reading comprehension performance or process remains heterogeneous. This study examined how learners' self‐provided preferred BGM affected reading comprehension accuracy and ...

Higher bee species richness in conservation areas compared with non‐conservation areas in south‐west Germany

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 18, Issue 2, Page 191-205, March 2025.
Malaise trap records from Baden‐Württemberg, Germany, show that sites within conservation areas have higher bee species richness than sites in non‐conservation areas. Endangered bee species were closely associated with sites in conservation areas. However, flying insect biomass from 2018 to 2023 was not affected by conservation status.

Metabarcoding advances agricultural invertebrate biomonitoring by enhancing resolution, increasing throughput and facilitating network inference

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 27, Issue 1, Page 50-66, February 2025.
Abstract Biomonitoring of agriculturally important insects is increasingly vital given our need to understand: (a) the severity of impacts by pests and pathogens on crop yield and health and (b) the impact of environmental change and land management on insects, in line with sustainable development and global conservation targets.

Maximizing daily rainfall prediction accuracy with maximum overlap discrete wavelet transform‐based machine learning models

International Journal of Climatology, Volume 44, Issue 10, Page 3405-3426, August 2024.
This study explores the utilization of maximum overlap fractional wavelet transform (MODWT)‐based machine learning models to enhance the precision of daily precipitation predictions. The primary objective of this research is to leverage cutting‐edge forecasting techniques to analyse meteorological data.

Human brain dynamics dissociate early perceptual and late motor‐related stages of affordance processing

European Journal of Neuroscience, Volume 60, Issue 4, Page 4639-4660, August 2024.
Abstract Affordances, the opportunities for action offered by the environment to an agent, are vital for meaningful behaviour and exist in every interaction with the environment. There is an ongoing debate in the field about whether the perception of affordances is an automated process.

Cortical tracking of visual rhythmic speech by 5‐ and 8‐month‐old infants: Individual differences in phase angle relate to language outcomes up to 2 years

Developmental Science, Volume 27, Issue 4, July 2024.
Abstract It is known that the rhythms of speech are visible on the face, accurately mirroring changes in the vocal tract. These low‐frequency visual temporal movements are tightly correlated with speech output, and both visual speech (e.g., mouth motion) and the acoustic speech amplitude envelope entrain neural oscillations.
