Dipteran abundance and family richness across different olive landscape contexts
Spanish Journal of Agricultural ResearchLandscape complexity favours the abundance and richness of several groups of beneficial arthropods in olive groves while reducing the abundance of pest insects. In addition to beneficial or harmful dipterans, canopy-dwelling flies in olive groves play a

Performance of each larval instar and adult of predaceous coccinellid Coelophora inaequalis (Fabricius) (Coleoptera, Coccinellidae) fed on natural prey and alternative foods [PDF]
Bulletin of InsectologyWith the exception of live prey, some lady beetle species consume alternative foods including pollen, nectar and fruit. These alternative foods support the development and reproduction of certains coccinellid species, while others do not benefit as much.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Biomolecular condensates formed by fused in sarcoma (FUS) are dissolved by high ATP concentrations yet persist in cells. Using a reconstituted system, we demonstrate that valosin‐containing protein (VCP), an AAA+ ATPase, counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its D2 ATPase activity.

Meta-analysis of the effects of predation on animal prey abundance: evidence from UK vertebrates [PDF]
, 2008 Background: Controlling vertebrate predators is one of the most widespread forms of wildlife management and it continues to cause conflict between stakeholders worldwide. It is important for managers and policy-makers to make decisions on this issue that

The triangulation between Arctic birds, Arctic foxes and Arctic lemmings
Frontiers in Ecology and EvolutionMany studies have suggested that Arctic predators preying on lemmings, especially the Arctic fox, take advantage of the high prey densities during peak years, but have to switch to alternative prey during years of low lemming density, thereby forcing ...

The many faces of fear: comparing the pathways and impacts of nonconsumptive predator effects on prey populations. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2008 BACKGROUND:Most ecological models assume that predator and prey populations interact solely through consumption: predators reduce prey densities by killing and consuming individual prey.

Diversity and complexity in neural organoids
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Neural organoid research aims to expand genetic diversity on one side and increase tissue complexity on the other. Chimeroids integrate multiple donor genomes within single organoids. Self‐organising multi‐identity organoids, exogenous cell seeding, or enforced assembly of region‐specific organoids contribute to tissue complexity.

Landscape and farm management influence generalist predators [PDF]
, 2002 Chemical pest control is currently the dominant form of pest management against insect pests in agroecosystems, but has negative side effects. Biological control by specialist predators has been successful in greenhouses, but has not been successfully ...

Hyperosmotic stress induces PARP1‐mediated HPF1‐dependent mono(ADP‐ribosyl)ation
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Sorbitol‐induced hyperosmotic stress rapidly induces reversible mono(ADP‐ribosyl)ation (MARylation) on PARP1 without the signs of genotoxic signaling. We show that PARP1 autoMARylation is HPF1 dependent and forms hydroxylamine‐resistant O‐glycosidic linkages.

Revista de Biología Tropical, 2004 Entre las ninfas de los asopíneos usados para el control de gusanos desfoliadores en plantaciones de eucalipto, Podisus distinctus (Stal) (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae) representa un potencial agente de control biológico, sin embargo esta especie ha sido ...
