A novel record of aardwolf Proteles cristata feeding behaviour [PDF]
, 2013 Terrestrial members of the order Carnivora show great variation in their diet; some specialising on vertebrates, invertebrates, or plant matter, whereas others are omnivores or scavengers (Bekoff et al, 1984).

Spatial metrics in fire ecology: seeking consistency amidst complexity
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Technological advances, including remote sensing, have led to a proliferation of metrics used in ecological studies to examine spatial patterns of fire regimes and their ecological effects. Researchers can use many different metrics to analyse spatial variation in both fire events and resulting fire regimes, including fire size, shape ...

Boletim do Observatório Ambiental Alberto Ribeiro Lamego, 2018 It has been argued that urban forestry might be a potential reservoir of termites for edifications around those infested trees. The aims of this research were to estimate the rate of trees colonized by termites on the avenues of Porto Velho (Brazil) and ...

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.This study employs an AI‐driven multidisciplinary approach to increase our understanding of the toxicological effects of sublethal concentrations of carlina oxide on Prostephanus truncatus. Sublethal exposure to the carlina oxide induced changes in motor patterns and thigmotaxis, highlighting its potential role in integrated pest management strategies.

Optimization of the bi-oleothermal treatment process for wood preservation and fireproofing [PDF]
, 2011 The bi-oleothermal© process (combination of oil and heat treatment) is a well mastered alternative method for wood protection. However, the fire behavior and resistance to decay of bi-oleothermally treated wood are not good enough to ensure performance ...

Formyltetrahydrofolate Synthetase Gene Diversity in the Guts of Higher Termites with Different Diets and Lifestyles [PDF]
, 2011 In this study, we examine gene diversity for formyl-tetrahydrofolate synthetase (FTHFS), a key enzyme in homoacetogenesis, recovered from the gut microbiota of six species of higher termites.

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Highly pathogenic isolates of Metarhizium anisopliae attracted Drosophila suzukii. Identifying the responsible compounds for this attraction could help the development of these isolates for pest monitoring and overall pest management. Abstract BACKGROUND Drosophila suzukii, commonly known as spotted wing drosophila (SWD), is a highly invasive and ...

High-Throughput Cultivation for the Selective Isolation of Acidobacteria From Termite Nests
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020 Microbial communities in the immediate environment of socialized invertebrates can help to suppress pathogens, in part by synthesizing bioactive natural products. Here we characterized the core microbiomes of three termite species (genus Coptotermes) and
