Common milkweed (Asclepias syriaca L.) response to sulcotrione [PDF]
Pesticidi i Fitomedicina, 2017 A laboratory bioassay was conducted to investigate common milkweed response to sulcotrione. Sulcotrione was applied in concentration series of 0.15-0.90 kg a.i./ha without a surfactant and with Dash® at 1 L/ha.

Responses of Temperate Grassland Plants to Recurrent Heatwaves
Grass and Forage Science, Volume 80, Issue 4, December 2025.ABSTRACT Heatwaves are an often‐overlooked aspect of current climate change in plant research. However, projections of future scenarios show an increase in their frequency and intensity in most temperate‐climate regions. The effects of heatwaves on crop and woody species are well known. In contrast, for wild herbaceous species, no overview is available.

Evolutionary Changes of GT1 Provide Insights Into the Adaptation of Butterflies to Plant Feeding
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 11, November 2025.We investigated the evolution of glycosyltransferase 1 (GT1) genes in 69 butterfly species to explore their association with host plant adaptation. Our results reveal frequent tandem duplications and adaptive selection in GT1s, especially in UGT33 and UGT40 subfamilies, alongside expression patterns suggesting functional diversification.

Indirect plant defense may provide economically important pest suppression in sorghum
Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 11, Page 7478-7488, November 2025.Laboratory measures of sorghum direct and indirect plant resistance traits aligned with natural enemy recruitment and pest suppression in the field. Abstract BACKGROUND A promising strategy to optimize biological control of insect pests is selecting crop varieties with indirect defense traits.

Experimental Immigration Mediates Ecological Selection and Drift in Monarch Microbiome Assembly
Ecology Letters, Volume 28, Issue 11, November 2025.The distribution of biodiversity depends on processes operating across scales, yet multiscale paradigms have struggled to permeate host‐microbiome research. By integrating multi‐scale ecological theory with experimental manipulation of bacteria colonizing monarch butterfly caterpillars, we test the hypothesis that immigration from the regional species ...
