Acta Zoologica, EarlyView.ABSTRACT One core aspect of science is communication, both among researchers as well as with the public. For successful communication, it is crucial that the terminology used is clear to avoid misunderstandings. Especially when researchers working on different groups of organisms communicate, they often use different terms for similar morphological ...

Acta Zoologica, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The order Xenarthra presents unique morphophysiological adaptations related to its specialized ecological niches. This study investigates the functional morphology and comparative myology of the thoracic limb in Cyclopes didactylus (silky anteater) and Tamandua tetradactyla (southern tamandua) to elucidate how muscle arrangements support ...

Pest‐preservation paradox among insects
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.The pest‐preservation paradox is a non‐binary perspective that insects range from those that are harmful and requiring management on the one side, to those requiring conservation intervention on the opposite end of the spectrum. Importantly, the vast majority of insects occur somewhere in the center of the two extremes, and their position along the ...

On the ecology and evolution of microorganisms associated with fungus-growing termites [PDF]
, 2011 Organisms living in symbiosis fascinate us with their adaptations to live in extreme proximity to, or even inside, a partner that may be from a completely different Class, Phylum or Kingdom.

Trans‐oceanic migration and wind utilization by Amur Falcons (Falco amurensis)
Ibis, EarlyView.The Amur Falcon Falco amurensis performs one of the world's longest raptor migrations, involving a non‐stop crossing of the Indian Ocean of approximately 2800 km. While the existence of this route is known, the mechanistic details of wind exploitation and seasonal navigation remain to be fully elucidated.

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.Forest degradation increased termite‐mediated litter decomposition, whereas no such effect was detected in undisturbed forests. Reduced ant predation and altered forest conditions were associated with higher termite abundance and faster litter decomposition.

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Termites are eusocial insects that maintain cohesion and exchange information through frequent physical interactions among nestmates. This social organisation underlies the principle of horizontal insecticide transfer, which is widely exploited as a termite control strategy.
