Environmental drivers of earthworm communities along an altitudinal gradient in the French Alps

The paper examines earthworm communities along an altitudinal gradient in the French Alps, finding that treeline ecotones, rather than altitude alone, drive community diversity and abundance.

Global monitoring of soil animal communities using a common methodology

The paper introduces a global collaborative network to standardize soil animal community monitoring and food web analysis across diverse ecosystems.

Globally invariant metabolism but density-diversity mismatch in springtails

The paper estimates global springtail biomass and density, finding similar energy use across latitudes but mismatch between diversity and density.

Strongyle-resistant sheep express their potential across environments and leave limited scope for parasite plasticity

The paper breeds sheep resistant to parasites and finds that resistance remains stable across environments but is affected by specific parasite infections.

Lupin (Lupinus sp.) seeds exert anthelmintic activity associated with their alkaloid content

This study shows lupin seeds inhibit parasitic nematodes through alkaloids, offering a potential alternative to combat drug-resistant parasites in ruminants.

Risk factor analysis of equine strongyle resistance to anthelmintics

This study identifies risk factors for anthelmintic resistance in equine strongyles using data from 688 horses, showing that FEC-based treatment and biosecurity measures reduce resistance risk.
