Critical tipping points in dung beetle communities: Implications for conservation in the Atlantic Forest biome

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Minor land‐use changes consistently lead to abrupt biodiversity shifts across all diversity dimensions, favoring generalist dung beetle species while excluding sensitive specialists. These shifts are observed at lower environmental change rates than previously considered, with significant changes apparent after just 25% habitat loss.

Warmest spring on record in the United Kingdom provides insights into how a specialist spring‐flying butterfly may respond to future climate change

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Previous work indicates that the Duke of Burgundy butterfly, a specialist spring‐flying species in the United Kingdom, is poor at buffering its thoracic temperature as air temperatures rise. Taking advantage of unusually warm spring weather, we collected new field data and found that the species can lower its thoracic temperature more than expected in ...

Against the odds: Nesting specialization and foraging ecology provide insights into climate change responses in a mountain bee

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
A unique high‐elevation Exoneura bee defies typical elevation‐driven declines in bee activity, nesting exclusively in dead branches of snow gums near the alpine tree line. Nesting and foraging are tightly linked to snow gum presence, with most activity occurring within 30 m of these trees. Biophysical modelling indicates the bee's thermally constrained

Bio‐active designed peptide for hair keratin strengthening

International Journal of Cosmetic Science, EarlyView.
Bioactive tripeptides through in silico screening revealed KCV (Tripeptide‐132) as the most promising keratin‐targeting candidate. Experimental studies confirmed its superior hair‐strengthening performance with 44% tensile strength enhancement, 50% breakage reduction, improved surface integrity and fibre penetration.

Thermal Thresholds and Genetic Sensitivity in Barrel Racing Performance of Quarter Horses Across Temperature–Humidity Indices

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Heat stress is an increasingly important challenge for the performance and welfare of equine athletes, particularly in competitions conducted across diverse climatic conditions. Understanding the genetic basis of performance responses to increasing thermal load is therefore essential to support robust genetic evaluation and sustainable ...
