This study shows that heatwaves reduce carrion beetle impacts on nutrient cycling by altering their behavior and reproduction, highlighting indirect effects on ecosystem processes.

The paper introduces synthetic haemolymphs (nutribloods) to study how nutrient profiles affect microbial growth in insect-pathogen interactions.

This study combines in vivo and in vitro approaches to show that host nutrition primarily affects bacterial growth in a host-parasite system, rather than host immune responses.

This study assesses global extinction risks of vertebrate pollinators, finding higher threats to mammals compared to birds and reptiles, with hotspots in specific regions and emphasizing conservation priorities.

The paper estimates the economic value of vertebrate pollination in India, finding bird pollinators contribute more than mammal pollinators, with a total value of £2.86 million.

This study shows that Drosophila infected with M. luteus reduce protein intake and increase carbohydrate intake, improving survival through nutritional self-medication.
