DOI: 10.1016/j.jaridenv.2020.104384
Abstract: Abstract Grazing disturbance affects an extensive area of the Monte desert (Argentina). Arthropods are the main faunistic component of the Monte and play key roles in ecosystem processes. The aim of this study was to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ydbio.2017.02.011
Abstract: Arthropods have numerous sense organs, which are adapted to their habitat. While some sense organs are similar in structure and function in all arthropod groups, structural differences in functionally related sense organs have been described,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/ee/nvac076
Abstract: Abstract Reduced tillage methods such as strip tillage are often combined with cover crop mixtures to provide agronomic benefits which can support crop and soil health. However, reduced tillage and cover crop species/arrangements effects on… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/ee/nvz095
Abstract: Abstract Arthropod food webs can be indirectly impacted by woody plant invasions, with cascading consequences for higher trophic levels.There are multiple bottom-up pathways by which invasive plants can alter food webs: aboveground interactions based on… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rsos.220933
Abstract: The origin of mandibulates, the hyperdiverse arthropod group that includes pancrustaceans and myriapods, dates back to the Cambrian. Bivalved arthropod groups such as hymenocarines have been argued to be early mandibulates, but many species are… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/ele.13819
Abstract: Abstract Chemical pesticides remain the main agents for control of arthropod crop pests despite increased concern for their side effects. Although chemical pesticide applications generally result in short‐term decreases of pest densities, densities can subsequently… read more here.

Impacts of Nutrient Subsidies on Salt Marsh Arthropod Food Webs: A Latitudinal Survey
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution"
DOI: 10.3389/fevo.2019.00350
Abstract: Anthropogenic nutrient inputs into native ecosystems cause fluctuations in resources that normally limit plant growth, which has important consequences for associated foodwebs. Such inputs from agricultural and urban habitats into nearby natural systems are increasing… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fgene.2020.00858
Abstract: Globins are small heme-proteins that reversibly bind oxygen. Their most prominent roles in vertebrates are the transport and storage of O2 for oxidative energy metabolism, but recent research has suggested alternative, non-respiratory globin functions. In… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2022.1051008
Abstract: Lumpy skin disease virus (LSDV) causes severe disease in cattle and water buffalo and is transmitted by hematophagous arthropod vectors. Detailed information of the adaptive and innate immune response to LSDV is limited, hampering the… read more here.
