Aphid and endosymbiont sensitivity to heatwaves is misaligned across life stages

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Aphids depend on the obligate symbiont Buchnera aphidicola, which may constrain thermal tolerance. Using a factorial heatwave experiment, we exposed nymphs and adults to moderate or extreme temperatures and measured fitness and symbiont responses.

Geographical Variation in Thermal Adaptation of the Asiatic Toad (Bufo gargarizans)

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Northern and southern populations of Bufo gargarizans exhibit coordinated divergence in thermal preference, resting metabolic rate, and TRPM4 temperature sensitivity along a climatic gradient. ABSTRACT Thermal adaptation in animals can manifest in multiple dimensions, yet few studies have integrated behavioral, physiological, and molecular perspectives

Conserving Rodent Pests in Transition Toward Endangered Status

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Rodent control invariably takes place in the context of ecosystems heavily modified by agriculture. Together, they are potent drivers of rodent decline and endangerment. Nineteen percent of 2349 rodent species evaluated in the IUCN Red List of threatened species are of some conservation concern.

Beyond Manoeuvre Theory for European Defence

Global Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article contributes to the debate about European defence in the light of the Russo‐Ukraine war and growing doubts about US commitment to Europe. It argues that Europeans need to fundamentally relearn the ability to imagine military strategy from a European viewpoint.

Western Balkans as the Frontline of Russian Hybrid Warfare

Global Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hybrid warfare (HW) scholarship acknowledges the phenomenon's contextual and temporal specificity, yet its dominant conceptual framing has generated a literature largely centred on identifying and categorising hybrid activities. This focus has left the contextual vulnerabilities that enable hybrid threats (HTs) and shape an adversary's ...

Deterrence Through Resilience and Civil Preparedness: The Comprehensive and Militarised Models of Civil Defence

Global Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As hybrid threats blur the line between war and peace and challenge conventional deterrence logics, states increasingly turn to concepts of resilience, civil preparedness and whole‐of‐society as elements of their security strategies. This raises the question of how civilian agency can be viewed as an element of deterrence and what the ...
