Insecticide exposure can increase burrow network production and alter burrow network structure in soil dwelling insects (Agriotes spp.) (2024)
Journal Article
Booth, S. W., Kurtz, B., Heer, M. I., Mooney, S. J., & Sturrock, C. J. (2024). Insecticide exposure can increase burrow network production and alter burrow network structure in soil dwelling insects (Agriotes spp.). Pedobiologia, 107, Article 151000. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.pedobi.2024.151000

Insecticide treated seeds are commonly used to reduce yield losses from burrowing insect damage such as wireworms. Using temporal X-ray Computed Tomography (CT) of soil-filled bioassays, we aimed to quantify changes in burrow network production and s...

The pace of life for forest trees (2024)
Journal Article
Bialic-Murphy, L., McElderry, R. M., Esquivel-Muelbert, A., van den Hoogen, J., Zuidema, P. A., Phillips, O. L., de Oliveira, E. A., Loayza, P. A., Alvarez-Davila, E., Alves, L. F., Maia, V.

The pace of life for forest trees. Science, 386(6717), 92-98. https://doi.org/10.1126/science.adk9616

Tree growth and longevity trade-offs fundamentally shape the terrestrial carbon balance. Yet, we lack a unified understanding of how such trade-offs vary across the world’s forests. By mapping life history traits for a wide range of species across th... Read More about The pace of life for forest trees.

The biogeography of the Amazonian tree flora (2024)
Journal Article
Luize, B. G., Tuomisto, H., Ekelschot, R., Dexter, K. G., Amaral, I. L., Coelho, L. D. S., Matos, F. D. D. A., Lima Filho, D. D. A., Salomão, R. P., Wittmann, F., Castilho, C. V., Carim, M. D. J.

The biogeography of the Amazonian tree flora. Communications Biology, 7(1), Article 1240. https://doi.org/10.1038/s42003-024-06937-5

We describe the geographical variation in tree species composition across Amazonian forests and show how environmental conditions are associated with species turnover. Our analyses are based on 2023 forest inventory plots (1 ha) that provide abundanc... Read More about The biogeography of the Amazonian tree flora.

Addressing multiple facets of bias and uncertainty in continental scale biodiversity databases (2024)
Journal Article
Marchetto, E., Livornese, M., Sabatini, F. M., Tordoni, E., Da Re, D., Lenoir, J., Testolin, R., Bacaro, G., Cazzolla Gatti, R., Chiarucci, A., Foody, G.

Addressing multiple facets of bias and uncertainty in continental scale biodiversity databases. Biodiversity Informatics, 18, https://doi.org/10.17161/bi.v18i.21810

The availability of biodiversity databases is expanding at unprecedented rates. Nevertheless, species occurrence data can be intrinsically biased and contain uncertainties that impact the accuracy and reliability of biodiversity estimates. In this st...

Models of health transition: Changing health in low- and middle-income countries (2024)
Journal Article
Jewitt, S., & Smallman-Raynor, M. (2024). Models of health transition: Changing health in low- and middle-income countries. Geography Review, 38(1),

Countries experience a transition in the major causes of illness and death as they develop economically. This article considers some frameworks for exploring these transitions, with a particular focus on recent rapid transitions in some countries of...

Diatom silicon isotope ratios in Quaternary research: Where do we stand? (2024)
Journal Article
Frings, P. J., Panizzo, V. N., Sutton, J. N., & Ehlert, C. (2024). Diatom silicon isotope ratios in Quaternary research: Where do we stand?. Quaternary Science Reviews, 344, Article 108966. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quascirev.2024.108966

Silicon stable isotope ratios (expressed as δ30Si) in biogenic silica have been widely used as a proxy for past and present biogeochemical cycling in both marine and lacustrine settings, in particular for nutrient utilization reconstructions. Yet an... Read More about Diatom silicon isotope ratios in Quaternary research: Where do we stand?.
