RNAi‐mediated gene silencing of a 26S proteasome subunit increases mortality of the Japanese beetle Popillia japonica

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 1, Page 1066-1078, January 2026.
We propose the regulatory particle non‐ATPase subunit 6 of the 26S proteasome as a first good promising RNA interference target candidate to control the Japanese beetle Popillia japonica. This will help to optimize a double‐stranded RNA insecticide against this priority pest with low off‐target effects on pollinators on a gene sequence‐based prediction.

Out-of-plane seismic response of stone masonry walls: experimental and analytical study of real piers [PDF]

, 2012
This paper presents the application of an existing simplified displacement-based procedure to the characterization of the nonlinear force-displacement relationship for the out-of-plane behaviour of unreinforced traditional masonry walls.

Annual Weather Patterns Drive Large Pulses of Saline Submarine Groundwater Discharge and Major Summer Inputs of Nutrients to the South Atlantic Bight

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) is a significant source of nutrients to continental shelf waters. Increasing evidence suggests that most of this flow is saline (∼seawater salinity) and occurs across broad continental shelves, making it challenging to observe.

Dynamics and evolution of the Azores Triple Junction and its relation to pre-existing major tectonic structures

Communications Earth & Environment
Triple junctions, where three tectonic plates meet, play a critical role in geodynamics. The Azores Triple Junction is critical in the study of triple junctions, challenging traditional models of triple junction stability.

A Comparison of Diving Behavior of Goose‐Beaked and Dense‐Beaked Whales From Tagging Studies in Multiple Ocean Basins

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Studies of cetacean diving behavior in multiple locations in different ocean basins allow for an assessment of variability within and among populations. We examine foraging dive behaviors of goose‐beaked whales (Ziphius cavirostris) and dense‐beaked whales (Mesoplodon densirostris) using data from 132 tagged whales in seven locations in the ...

Exploring the Catrina, an autochthonous cattle breed of the Azores, for a comparative analysis of methane emissions with Holstein-Friesian dairy cows

Frontiers in Animal Science
IntroductionThe struggle against climate change in agriculture requires an increased understanding of greenhouse gas emissions, mainly from cattle farming. Through precise and accessible methods to monitor the methane (CH4) emissions of these animals, it

Demographic Parameters of Iberian Killer Whales Between 2011 and 2023

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT The Iberian killer whale subpopulation was assessed as critically endangered (CR) by the IUCN red list of threatened species based on the available information until 2011 on its low abundance, high newborn mortality, and dependency on the endangered Atlantic bluefin tuna.

Examining the Doctrine of Discovery in Religion and Indigenous Studies

Religion Compass, Volume 20, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
ABSTRACT Since the publication of Pagans in the Promised Land by Steven T. Newcomb (Shawnee/Lenape), scholarship on the Doctrine of Discovery has expanded significantly as a central issue in Indigenous law and politics. However, its implications remain underexamined in Religious Studies, Indigenous Studies, and legal scholarship.
