-
(Wiley, 2025-01)Species' future distributions are commonly predicted using models that link the likelihood of occurrence of individuals to the environment. Although animals' movements are influenced by physical and non-physical landscapes, ...
-
(Springer, 2024-06)The field of animal behaviour has often relied on tracking and recording the behaviour of a single individual. For example, for decades, gregarious locust behaviour research has used a standard assay that tracks the path ...
-
(Springer, 2025-02)The polyphagous shot hole borer (PSHB; Euwallacea fornicatus), is an invasive ambrosia beetle and poses a significant threat to a wide range of tree species globally. Despite its potential impact, research on the beetle's ...
-
(Regional Euro-Asian Biological Invasions Centre, 2024-11)The larger grain borer, Prostephanus truncatus (Horn) (Coleoptera: Bostrichidae) is an invasive alien insect pest in Africa originally from Central America. Although it is a pest of mainly stored maize grain and dried ...
-
(Muzeum i Instytut Zoologii, 2025-02)We report the results of two expeditions (2019 and 2022) to the Mbam Minkom Massif (Centre Region, Cameroon), focused on an assessment of the montane area's bat fauna. We describe bat species' richness and highlight the ...
-
(British Ecological Society, 2024-11)Neighbouring plants can alter the susceptibility of high-quality focal plants to herbivores by affecting herbivore patch choice. Herbivores can use plant odour to make patch-scale foraging decisions from afar, but the ...
-
(Nature Research, 2024-04)Mammalian herbivores browse palatable plants of ecological and economical value. Undesirable neighbours can reduce browsing to these plants by providing ‘associational refuge’, but they can also compete for resources. ...
-
(Nature Research, 2024-03-27)The naked mole-rat Heterocephalus glaber is a eusocial mammal exhibiting extreme longevity (37-year lifespan), extraordinary resistance to hypoxia and absence of cardiovascular disease. To identify the mechanisms behind ...
-
(Nature Research, 2024-04-23)Vocal rhythm plays a fundamental role in sexual selection and species recognition in birds, but little is known of its genetic basis due to the confounding effect of vocal learning in model systems. Uncovering its genetic ...
-
(Springer, 2024-12)Fungal biodiversity significantly influences ecosystem dynamics through various interactions with plants, ranging from pathogenic to mutually beneficial associations. This study explores the fungal diversity associated ...
-
Fusarium species associated with Euwallacea xanthopus in South Africa, including two novel species (Taylor and Francis, 2024-09-26)Ambrosia beetles (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae) are small wood-boring insects that live in an obligate symbiosis with fungi, which serve as their primary food source. Beetles residing in the genus Euwallacea ...
-
(Springer, 2024-12)BACKGROUND: In Africa, food legumes such as cowpeas and beans constitute important sources of proteins for millions of rural and urban populations. However, attacks by multiple pest species can reduce yields by up to 80%. ...
-
(Elsevier, 2024-12)Monitoring reproductive physiology in wildlife can be a useful tool for assessing population dynamics for conservation and management purposes. Utilizing non-invasive approaches for this, such as quantifying reproductive ...
-
(Wiley, 2024)Knowing how environmental conditions affect performance traits in pest in-sects is important to improve pest management strategies. It can be informative for monitoring, but also for control programs where insects are ...
-
(Springer, 2025-02)The Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework 2030 calls for the conservation of 30% of the world’s ecosystems, focusing on protecting areas vital to biodiversity, identifying and managing invasive species introduction ...
-
(Springer, 2025-02)Independence filters are commonly applied to camera trapping data when determining the temporal activity patterns of species or populations. However, recent research challenges the validity of independence filters, stating ...
-
(Springer, 2025-02)Scientific conferences are of immense importance to scientists, but the resulting benefits are only available to those scientists who can actually attend scientific meetings. So far, research at scientific conferences is ...
-
(American Society for Microbiology, 2024-04)African swine fever virus causes a lethal hemorrhagic disease of domestic pigs. The NAM P1/1995 isolate was originally described as B646L genotype XVIII; however, full genome sequencing revealed that this assignment was incorrect.
-
(Springer, 2024-07-10)The assessment of animal body condition has important practical and management implications for endangered wildlife populations. The nutritional condition of a population can be evaluated in a non-invasive way using ...
-
(Frontiers Media, 2024-11)No abstract available.
