  • Urbanization impacts land use and biodiversity, particularly affecting dung beetle populations in different habitats like sacred groves and home gardens.
  • The study surveyed dung beetles across various levels of urbanization, questioning their abundance and diversity in sacred groves versus home gardens.
  • Findings revealed that dung beetle populations were more abundant in urban environments than in sacred groves, challenging the belief that these groves serve as refuges from urbanization's effects.

Urbanization is a crucial driver of environmental and biodiversity change. It is suggested that urbanization favours generalist and invasive species and might harm specialists of natural and semi-natural habitats. In this study, we examined how an urbanization gradient and environmental gradients in the habitat area, habitat diversity, elevation, and proportion of built-up area influenced the abundance and richness of ants within tropical forest islet habitat in south India.

Article Synopsis
  • People are using visual media (like images, videos, and GIFs) on social media to express their opinions, leading to new research in sentiment analysis that combines visual and textual data.
  • Researchers aim to understand social interactions and predict opinions through image and text analysis, highlighting the importance of integrating these two forms of media.
  • The proposed deep learning-based intermodal (DLBI) analysis method demonstrates superior accuracy and efficiency in processing opinions by linking text and images, and ongoing simulations are validating its effectiveness compared to existing models.
