Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Lipidomic and proteomic analysis revealed large‐scale differences in the midgut composition of the honeybee Apis mellifera and the buff‐tailed bumblebee Bombus terrestris. These differences correlated to increased insecticide absorption in the bumblebee when using an ex vivo Ussing chamber and subsequently in vivo feeding assay (created in Biorender ...

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Cotton varieties resistant to Thrips tabaci exhibit lower soluble sugar and free amino acid levels, with smaller post‐infestation increases in these nutrients, resulting in reduced feeding rates and lighter damage. Key resistance evaluation indices include: damage severity, soluble sugars, free amino acids, soluble proteins, superoxide dismutase ...

Fertilisation and environmental factors affect the yield and quality of alfalfa in China
Plant, Soil and EnvironmentAlfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) is a superior-quality perennial legume forage crop cultivated in China. However, fertiliser applications and the environmental factors affecting alfalfa yield and quality have not been well documented.

Strip loading in reinforced concrete: Mechanical modeling and experimental validation
Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract Strip loading of reinforced concrete is a common problem in engineering practice. The concrete compressive strength at the load introduction can be several times higher than the uniaxial concrete compressive strength, which can be attributed to geometrical and passive confining stresses caused by load dispersion and reinforcement, respectively.

Scientific ReportsAlfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) is an important legume forage known for its high yield, quality, and adaptability. However, due to its cross-pollination and tetraploid inheritance characteristics, biotechnologies such as genetic modification and gene ...

Modeling locally corroded reinforced concrete structures in non‐linear finite element analyses
Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract The ingress of chlorides, originating from the use of de‐icing salts or proximity to the sea, may cause severe local reinforcement corrosion in concrete structures such as bridges, tunnels, galleries, and retaining walls. Methods are urgently required to realistically assess the load‐bearing capacity of such deteriorated structures, accounting

Strip loading in steel fiber reinforced concrete: Experimental and theoretical investigation
Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract Fiber reinforced concrete is becoming increasingly popular in engineering practice due to its high robustness, post‐cracking behavior, and crack control. For strip loading, as common, for example, in longitudinal joints of tunnel lining segments, the use of fiber reinforced concrete has the potential to reduce conventional reinforcement ...

Complexity drives resource selection of two sympatric ungulate species
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.For decades, mule deer Odocoileus hemionus populations have appeared to shrink across their range in North America, while white‐tailed deer O. virginianus populations have increased, and their range has expanded. The underlying drivers of these patterns are unclear, and a combination of factors may be at play, including land use changes, climate change,

Promising new parasite of the Egyptian alfalfa weevil imported from southern Iran
California Agriculture, 1961 The Egyptian alfalfa weevil—Hypera brunneipennis (Boh.)—has become an increasingly serious pest of alfalfa in southern California during recent years. In 1961 weevil populations were the heaviest on record, and in the Imperial Valley alone many thousands
