Fetish markets and feathers: Analyzing a growing threat to biodiversity in Africa

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
This study investigates the composition and drivers of bird species traded in the Lomé fetish market, one of West Africa's largest belief‐based use wildlife markets. Field surveys conducted between 2022 and 2024 reveal a marked increase in market volume and avian species diversity over time, including many CITES‐listed birds.

DiaActive protocol: A randomized controlled trial of cognitive‐motor multicomponent exercise to reduce fall rate in older adults with diabetes

Diabetic Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Older adults with diabetes have an increased risk of falls due to neuropathy, impaired bone health and cardiovascular disease, resulting in significant morbidity and mortality. Conventional fall‐prevention programmes primarily target strength and balance, while cognitive‐motor integration, essential for safe mobility in complex ...

Knowledge of Emergency Management of Traumatic Dental Injuries and Reported Availability of Tooth Rescue Boxes Among School Teachers in Lower Saxony, Germany: A Cross‐Sectional Survey

Dental Traumatology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and Objectives Traumatic dental injuries are among the most common dental emergencies in children, and school teachers are frequently the first responders. This study aimed to assess knowledge of emergency management of traumatic dental injuries, the reported availability of tooth rescue boxes and training demand among school ...

Landscape and Geography Determine Saproxylic Beetle Captures in Pheromone‐Baited Traps

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Pheromone‐baited traps at 39 forest sites across southern Sweden captured 58 saproxylic beetle species, including seven Red‐listed taxa. The effect of surrounding forest cover on beetle abundance may depend on latitude and longitude: positive effects were strongest in warmer southern and eastern regions but weakened or reversed in colder northwestern ...

Does the munch affect the bunch? Using community science to explore insect herbivory and fruit production in an understory plant

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
We used iNaturalist records, a longitudinal field survey, and a simulated herbivory experiment to explore how insect herbivory factors are associated with Cornus canadensis fruit production. Naturally observed internal and external insect herbivory was mostly low intensity and did not have a strong relationship with fruit production.

Floral richness drives flower–insect networks in city gardens and allotments

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Floral richness was the main driver of flower visits within green spaces whilst green space in the surrounding landscape influenced flower visits by amplifying the effects of floral richness. Native plants received more visits than non‐native plants, although flower visitor richness to non‐native plants increased later in the season as non‐native plant

Management and tree dieback alter beetle assemblage structure and body size distribution in a temperate German forest

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Forest management and climate‐induced tree dieback alter the structural characteristics of forests, which could subsequently lead to changes in the structure of beetle assemblages. Beetle assemblages in more open forests exhibited less even abundance distributions, with fewer, more dominant species (higher rates of decline (r), higher dominance (d ...

Honeybees directly outcompete other flower visitors through interference competition on shared resource

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
The outcomes of encounters between honeybees and other flower visitors were observed on two plant species. Pollinators either win, lose or share a resource. Competitive interactions led to greater than expected ‘wins’ for honeybees. The honeybee displaced or gave chase when interacting with another pollinator in at least 20% of winning outcomes ...

Selective feeding and niche differentiation in adult boreal Odonata revealed by DNA metabarcoding

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
COI metabarcoding of faecal pellets from three sympatric Odonata species in boreal Swedish wetlands revealed Diptera‐dominated diets, with mosquitoes only a minor component despite high availability. The larger hawker Libellula quadrimaculata showed greater dietary variance than the smaller damselflies, indicating size‐ and foraging strategy‐dependent ...
