Abstract Invasive species can dramatically alter ecosystems, but eradication is difficult, and suppression is expensive once they are established. Uncertainties in the potential for expansion and impacts by an invader can lead to delayed and inadequate suppression, allowing for establishment.

The benefits of informed management of sunlight in production greenhouses and polytunnels
The effective management of light is beneficial for growers of plants in greenhouses, polytunnels and under cloches. The materials and structures used to construct these environments often create light‐limited conditions for crops and change the spectral composition of sunlight they receive.

Abstract Gulf War veterans (GWVs) were exposed to neurotoxicants, including sarin nerve gas, anti–nerve agent pills, pesticides, oil well fires, and fumes from unvented tent heaters, all of which have been associated with subsequent adverse health.

Globalisation and pollinators: Pollinator declines are an economic threat to global food systems
Abstract Trade in animal‐pollinated crops plays an important role in global food systems: in many low‐income countries, export of pollinated crops such as coffee and cocoa plays a significant role in livelihoods, while food systems in many higher income nations depend on international trade in these crops to satisfy their local demands.

The development of fungicide resistance greatly threatens food security and ecological sustainability, and it is urgent need to develop agricultural practices which can ameliorate this problem. Our results show that potato crop with a genetic diversity is associated with a late blight pathogen of higher fungicide sensitivity and lower potential of ...

Lessons from an eradication under multiple constraints of an island rat population of record density
Abstract Invasive rats threaten island biodiversity, disrupting ecosystems and endangering native species. Although rat eradication has succeeded on many islands, tropical islands present unique management challenges. Strict regulations and financial constraints on some tropical islands further limit proven eradication methods, complicating rodent ...

ABSTRACT Periodontitis is a chronic infectious oral disease triggered by periodontopathogenic bacteria, resulting in the progressive inflammation and destruction of the tissues surrounding teeth. To achieve reprogramming of the infectious microenvironment for periodontitis therapy, a nanoformulation was proposed by loading polydopamine (PDA) with ...

近年来,中国南方湿热地区复合绝缘子和室温硫化硅橡胶(reem temperature vulcanized silicone rubber,RTV)涂料表面发现了较严重的藻类覆生现象,大大降低了复合绝缘材料表面的憎水性,影响其电气性能。传统绝缘子清洗方法存在生物污秽层难以根除等问题。文中以绝缘子表面常见的小球藻为研究对象,通过细胞破胞率、光合活性和叶绿素a质量浓度等测试手段,表征喷涂杀藻剂过后藻细胞的生长情况,探究喷涂杀藻剂对在高温硫化硅橡胶覆生的藻类生长抑制效果。研究发现,采用摩尔质量分数为0.025

The soil fungicide reduces the occurrence of pathogenic fungi in invaded soil and at the same time promotes the recruitment of mycorrhizal fungi and saprophytic fungi by the plants. The addition of biochar to the invaded soil has a negative legacy effect on subsequent invasive plants, while it exerts a positive enhancement effect on native plants ...

Background – Biofilm production by canine otitis externa (COE) pathogens and resistance development to multiple antimicrobials are commonly reported problems in veterinary practice. The use of adjuvants to disrupt biofilms may be a viable adjunctive therapy.
