Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.We found that a dry active season increased abundance for large bees (Bombus impatiens and Xenoglossa pruinosa), whereas Agapostemon virescens and Ceratina calcarata were more abundant in wet active seasons. A dry year resulted in larger individuals with reduced foraging effort for most bees and communities were relatively more female‐biased.

Decomposition of Pig Carcasses at Varying Room Temperature [PDF]
, 2019 The goal of this study is to assess the qualitative scoring of decomposition scales with statistical analysis while also determining which indoor environment will decompose the fastest.

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.Abstract Background Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is an increasingly serious threat to human and animal health. Antimicrobial use (AMU) in horses is gathering research interest, although there remain significant evidence gaps. Currently, there is scant qualitative research into equine owners' use of antimicrobials, specifically antibiotics, hindering ...

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.After reintroduction to the UK, the endangered butterfly Phengaris arion has naturally colonised >40 sites where its habitat has been restored. We studied seven factors that might be influencing dispersal. Isolation of sites was the most important constraint on the colonisation of new habitats, followed by the number, but not the density, of P.

How forest insect outbreaks depend on forest size and tree distribution: an individual-based model results [PDF]
arXivIn this work, an individual-based model of forest insect outbreaks is presented. The results obtained show that the outbreak is an emerging feature of the system. It is a common product of the characteristics of insects, the environment in which the insects live, and the way insects behave in it. The outbreak dynamics is an effect of scale.

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.We studied a method for captive propagation of Cicindela (Abroscelis) anchoralis for reintroduction and reinforcement. We identified differences in the burrowing behaviour of larvae and applied the larval overwintering method during captive propagation.

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.The increase in urban lands and the vegetation loss implies changes in the colour of the background which in turn could cause changes in the coloration of individuals. We measured changes in body lightness of damselflies through 19 sites in Central Mexico, with a different degree of urbanisation and a different percentage of native vegetation. We found

Basic offspring number and robust feedback design for the biological control of vectors by sterile insect release technique [PDF]
arXivSterile Insect Technique (SIT) is a promising control method against insect pests and insect vectors. It consists in releasing males previously sterilized in laboratory, in order to reduce or eliminate a specific wild population. We study in this paper the implementation by feedback control of SIT-based elimination campaign of Aedes mosquitoes.

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.Lack of genetic population structure in urban populations of Centris analis. Low morphological differentiation across four phytogeographical regions in Brazil. Monogyny‐monandry mating system in C. analis. Abstract The decline of insect populations worldwide has raised concerns about the negative impact on ecosystem services, particularly pollination ...
