Toward a Biocultural Synthesis of the Peopling of the Americas: Introduction to the Special Issue. [PDF]
Am J Biol AnthropolABSTRACT This article introduces the special issue Toward a Biocultural Synthesis of the Peopling of the Americas, which brings together contributions that explore the origins and diversity of Indigenous populations across North, Central, and South America and the Caribbean. The volume grew out of an invited symposium held at the 90th Annual Meeting of

Herbivory in Myrtillocactus geometrizans (Cactaceae): Do Parasitoids Provide Indirect Defense or a Direct Advantage? [PDF]
Plants, 2022 Plants respond to herbivory in diverse, complex ways, ranging from avoidance or tolerance to indirect defense mechanisms such as attracting natural enemies of herbivores, i.e., parasitoids or predators, to strengthen their defense.

Recovering European River Invertebrate Communities Homogenize or Differentiate Depending on Anthropogenic Stress. [PDF]
Glob Chang Biol(a) European river invertebrate communities showed an average increase in local richness over time (1994–2023), indicating partial local recovery following the alleviation of anthropogenic stress (e.g., point‐source pollution). However, this local recovery was not accompanied by increases in β‐diversity, likely due to persistent, unaddressed stressors,

Acoustic Communication in Dendroctonus adjunctus Blandford (Curculionidae Scolytinae): Description of Calls and Sound Production Mechanism [PDF]
InsectsThe acoustic communication system (ACS) in bark beetles has been studied mainly in species of the genera Dendroctonus, Ips and Polygraphus. Specifically, ACS of the roundheaded pine beetle, Dendroctonus adjunctus, has been little studied.

Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal, 2022 Dendroctonus bark beetles are the most destructive agents in coniferous forests. These beetles come into contact with the toxic compounds of their host's chemical defenses throughout their life cycle, some of which are also used by the insects as ...
