Environmental temperatures and oxygen availability are important for the balance between oxygen supply and demand. Terrestrial organisms are generally perceived to be less limited by access to oxygen than their aquatic counterparts.

Lettuce (Lactuca sativa) seeds play a significant role in toxicity tests of isolated chemicals, pesticides, and environmental samples. Commonly, the main variables under study are the rate of seed germination and root elongation at the end of five days ...

ABSTRACT Urbanisation and urban heat frequently co‐occur, and climate change is expected to amplify these effects, yet their consequences for population dynamics and life‐history traits remain unclear. Using the common woodlouse Armadillidium vulgare, a widespread decomposer and urban indicator species, we combined fine‐scale field surveys with ...

Insects and Survival: A Review of Primary and Secondary Defense Strategies
Based on a review of three decades of literature, insect defense mechanisms are classified into primary (I) and secondary (II) mechanisms of behavioral, morphological, and chemical nature. These mechanisms have been recorded in 22 (I) and 20 (II) orders, respectively.

This review discusses bacteriophages' roles in soil ecosystems, highlighting their impact on nutrient cycling, plant health, and soil remediation, as well as animal‐mediated phage dispersal mechanisms. Overall, while bacteriophages have potential biotechnological applications, their negative effects on microbial functions and nutrient cycling highlight

Abstract Introduction Afforestation with non‐native trees has profoundly altered coastal dune grasslands worldwide, creating persistent ecological legacies that constrain ecosystem recovery. Objectives We evaluated the cost‐effectiveness of two restoration approaches, distinguished by their respective demands for resource investment: Moderately ...

ABSTRACT Tail fan necrosis (TFN) is a shell disease affecting spiny lobsters' outer integument, with significant implications for the health and commercial viability of red rock lobsters (Jasus edwardsii) in New Zealand. Despite its impact, the potential role of a microbial agent in TFN remains poorly understood.

Tag attachment reduces the initiation of recruitment in the rock ant, Temnothorax rugatulus
Tags did not significantly affect feeder visitation. In contrast, recruitment behaviour differed significantly, with tagged ants being less likely to engage in tandem runs than formerly tagged ants. Abstract Technological advances continue to push the boundaries of scientific inquiry in animal behaviour.
