Population genetics strategies to characterize long-distance dispersal of insects [PDF]
Population genetics strategies offer an alternative and powerful approach for obtaining information about long-distance movement, and have been widely used for examining patterns and magnitude of insect dispersal over geographic and temporal scales. Such

Commodity risk assessment of Alnus cordata, Alnus glutinosa and Alnus incana plants from the UK
Abstract The European Commission requested the EFSA Panel on Plant Health to prepare and deliver risk assessments for commodities listed in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/2019 as ‘high‐risk plants, plant products and other objects’. Taking into account the available scientific information, including the technical information provided by ...

Do tissue carbon and nitrogen limit population growth of weevils introduced to control waterhyacinth at a site in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, California? [PDF]
Waterhyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes(Mart.) Solms), is a serious problem in the Sacramento Delta. Two weevil species (Neochetina bruchi Hustache and N. eichhorniae Warner) have been introduced as biological control agents. The purpose of this study was

The moulting arthropod: a complete genetic toolkit review
ABSTRACT Exoskeletons are a defining character of all arthropods that provide physical support for their segmented bodies and appendages as well as protection from the environment and predation. This ubiquitous yet evolutionarily variable feature has been instrumental in facilitating the adoption of a variety of lifestyles and the exploitation of ...

Coordinated RNA-Seq and peptidomics identify neuropeptides and G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) in the large pine weevil Hylobius abietis, a major forestry pest [PDF]
Hylobius abietis (Linnaeus), or large pine weevil (Coleoptera, Curculionidae), is a pest of European coniferous forests. In order to gain understanding of the functional physiology of this species, we have assembled a de novo transcriptome of H. abietis,

New purine isosteres are prepared using a convenient three‐component, catalyst‐free, microwave‐promoted reaction. The products are evaluated for potential insecticidal, fungicidal and herbicidal properties and structural features of the compounds, including interactions in a representative crystal, are explored experimentally by X‐ray crystallography ...

Gossypium turneri is a wild cotton that is currently threatened by tourism development and an invasive species. Our results indicate that this species has the ability of autonomous self‐pollination by style curvature, providing reproductive assurance when pollinators are scarce. This finding is relevant as current disturbance might disrupt interactions
