DOI: 10.1002/ece3.71718
Abstract: ABSTRACT Animal personality encompasses behavioral traits that can vary between individuals while remaining stable over time for each individual. These traits often correlate with each other and form behavioral syndromes. In our study, we investigated… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10841-017-9955-5
Abstract: The American burying beetle, Nicrophorus americanus, is a federally endangered insect that once occurred in 35 US states and 3 Canadian provinces. Today, it remains at the periphery of its former range with the largest… read more here.

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.1812808115
Abstract: Significance Ephemeral diets such as carrion are high-quality resources that are susceptible to microbial spoilage. Carrion-feeding insects that breed on decaying carcasses must overcome challenges arising from competing microbes. Here we report that a carrion-feeding… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/beheco/arae061
Abstract: Abstract Chemical cues and signals, especially in insects, play a pivotal role in mediating interactions between individuals. Past studies have largely focused on adult semiochemicals and have neglected those of juvenile stages. Especially in the… read more here.

The Impact of Environmental Factors on the Efficacy of Chemical Communication in the Burying Beetle (Coleoptera: Silphidae)
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Journal of Insect Science"
DOI: 10.1093/jisesa/ieaa061
Abstract: Abstract There is growing evidence that a wide range of insect sex pheromones are condition dependent and play a fundamental role in mate choice. However, the effectiveness of pheromonal communication might not only depend on… read more here.

Kinship as a double-edged sword: relatedness among burying beetle larvae enhances growth but increases mortality
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2025 at "Biology Letters"
DOI: 10.1098/rsbl.2025.0319
Abstract: Theoretical and empirical considerations suggest that relatedness can have complex effects on social life. While high relatedness may promote sibling cooperation and altruism through indirect fitness benefits, it can also intensify competition if siblings share… read more here.

The effect of experimental warming on reproductive performance and parental care in the burying beetle Nicrophorus nepalensis
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2024 at "Royal Society Open Science"
DOI: 10.1098/rsos.240653
Abstract: Rising temperatures can adversely affect parental care and reproductive performance across a range of taxa. However, the warming impact is contingent upon understanding how temperature affects the spectrum of parental behaviours and their interplay. Here,… read more here.

Differential effects of offspring and maternal inbreeding on egg laying and offspring performance in the burying beetle Nicrophorus vespilloides
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Journal of Evolutionary Biology"
DOI: 10.1111/jeb.13285
Abstract: We investigate the effect of offspring and maternal inbreeding on maternal and offspring traits associated with early offspring fitness in the burying beetle Nicrophorus vespilloides. We conducted two experiments. In the first experiment, we manipulated… read more here.

DOI: 10.11158/saa.29.9.6
Abstract: A pair of intriguing phoretic instances are the burying beetle and Poecilochirus mites. Their interaction is environment-dependent and can be either mutualistic or antagonistic hostile depending on various biological and physical circumstances. In this study,… read more here.
