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 ...

ABSTRACT The pathogenesis of diabetic foot ulcers is complex, often involving polymicrobial infection and persistent inflammatory responses, which lead to delayed or nonhealing wounds, posing a formidable clinical challenge. Existing photodynamic therapy reagents and traditional treatments generally address only a single pathological aspect, and the ...

ABSTRACT Diabetic wound infections are a common complication of diabetes, which severely impact patients' quality of life. Effective treatment of diabetic wound infections remains one major challenge in the clinic, partially due to the formation of bacterial biofilm and antibiotic resistance.

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 ...

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 ...
