Nutrient absorption and utilization by wing and flight muscle morphs of the cricket \u3ci\u3eGryllus firmus\u3c/i\u3e: Implications for the trade-off between flight capability and early reproduction [PDF]
, 2000 Absorption efficiency (AD, approximate digestibility, assimilation efficiency) of various macronutrients and conversion of absorbed nutrients to biomass (ECD) were compared among the two types of flightless morph and the flight-capable morph of the ...

Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers, Volume 51, Issue 3, September 2026.ABSTRACT This Intervention reflects on the multiple, contradictory and ambivalent relations human geography has with ‘the new’. Some sort of relation with the new is an inescapable and necessary part of all practices of knowledge generation. Newness, whether it be an empirical finding, an idea, a concept or an approach, can fuel the interest, wonder ...

A roadmap to key traits of invasive Drosophilidae
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1805-1829, August 2026.ABSTRACT Biological invasions have intensified in recent decades, mostly driven by international trade and travel, raising significant concerns, particularly regarding insect pests. Once non‐native species establish, they can disrupt natural ecosystem stability, undermine agroecosystem sustainability and cause substantial economic losses.

Local Resource Heterogeneity Drives Density‐Dependent Dispersal Expression in a Phoretic Mite
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.Regional heterogeneity often selects for dispersal, as this allows individuals to move between environments. However, individuals do not experience regional conditions and must make developmental decisions based on local cues. Using long‐term population experiments, we find that local heterogeneity influences dispersal by exacerbating competition ...

Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 4, Page 621-638, August 2026.True dung beetles are a speciose group of ecosystem engineers that play key roles as detritivores in natural and agricultural landscapes. Scarabaeine beetles show strong thermal plasticity and there is increasing evidence of rapid evolutionary divergence in response to temperature across ecological and evolutionary timescales, with likely consequences ...
