A test of the Geographic Mosaic Theory of Coevolution: investigating widespread species of Amazonian Protium (Burseraceae) trees, their chemical defenses, and their associated herbivore faunas

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
IntroductionPlants and their insect herbivores represent a large fraction of the species in Amazonian forests and are often directly implicated in the origin and maintenance of biodiversity at local and regional scales.

Resin acids play key roles in shaping microbial communities during degradation of spruce bark

open access: yesNature Communications, 2023
The bark is the outermost defense of trees against microbial attack, largely thanks to toxicity and prevalence of extractive compounds. Nevertheless, bark decomposes in nature, though by which species and mechanisms remains unknown.

Cybersecurity Risk Assessment of Industrial Control Systems Based on Order-α Divergence Measures Under an Interval-Valued Intuitionistic Fuzzy Environment

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2022
With the increasing deployment of network technologies in industrial control systems (ICSs), cybersecurity has become a challenge in ICSs. Cybersecurity risk assessment (CRA) plays an important role in cybersecurity protection of ICSs.

VERDICT: A Language and Framework for Engineering Cyber Resilient and Safe System

open access: yesSystems, 2021
The ever-increasing complexity of cyber-physical systems is driving the need for assurance of critical infrastructure and embedded systems. However, traditional methods to secure cyber-physical systems—e.g., using cyber best practices, adapting ...

An Attack-Defense Tree on e-Exam System

open access: yesInternational Journal of Emerging Technologies in Learning (iJET), 2019
The electronic-examination (e-exam) system is not only transforming the paper-based examination to the electronic-based examination. The e-exam system has a big security challenge that must be resolved to guarantee the trust of its users. This paper aims at analyzing security challenges of an e-exam system and proposing a solution using Attack and ...

The Road to Resistance in Forest Trees

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2019
In recent years, forests have been exposed to an unprecedented rise in pests and pathogens. This, coupled with the added challenge of climate change, renders forest plantation stock vulnerable to attack and severely limits productivity.

Molecular population genetics of elicitor-induced resistance genes in European aspen (Populus tremula L., Salicaceae). [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2011
Owing to their long life span and ecological dominance in many communities, forest trees are subject to attack from a diverse array of herbivores throughout their range, and have therefore developed a large number of both constitutive and inducible ...

Semantics for specialising attack trees based on linear logic [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
peer reviewedAttack trees profile the sub-goals of the proponent of an attack. Attack trees have a variety of semantics depending on the kind of question posed about the attack, where questions are captured by an attribute domain.

On Quantitative Analysis of Attack–Defense Trees with Repeated Labels [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Ensuring security of complex systems is a difficult task that requires utilization of numerous tools originating from various domains. Among those tools we find attack–defense trees, a simple yet practical model for analysis of scenarios involving two competing parties.

Conifer stored resources and resistance to a fungus associated with the spruce bark beetle Ips typographus.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
Bark beetles and associated fungi are among the greatest natural threats to conifers worldwide. Conifers have potent defenses, but resistance to beetles and fungal pathogens may be reduced if tree stored resources are consumed by fungi rather than used ...
