An isopod, well-adapted to the harsh conditions of arid-lands, crawls on the desert floor in search of plant litter. New study reveals that in arid ecosystems, larger arthropods such as termites and ...
Forensic entomology and decomposition ecology together explore the breakdown of animal and human remains through interactions among insects, microbes and environmental factors. Insects, notably ...
The putrefying flesh of a dead animal is as unpleasant to scientists as to anyone else. As a result, relatively little research has been done on the decay processes that can rapidly reduce a dead body ...
A study published in the June 2024 issue of the journal Pedosphere looks at how a non-native armored scale insect alters the leaf litter decomposition dynamics of the novel host cycad species on newly ...
An analysis of leaf litter breakdown in climatically diverse habitats shows that decomposition by larger invertebrates dominates in hot, dry regions and warmer seasons. Researchers have shown that ...
Humans may be accelerating the rate at which organic matter decomposes in rivers and streams on a global scale, according to a new study from the University of Georgia, Oakland University and Kent ...
