Bacillus thuringiensis and its pest control potential as endophyte

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) systemically colonizes tomato plants as endophyte, inducing midgut damage, fitness reduction and immune suppression in Spodoptera littoralis larvae feeding on Bt‐colonized leaves. The immune suppression enhances the susceptibility to Bt treatments, allowing a synergistic dual use of Bt commercial formulations, by combined ...

Determining frequencies of fungicide resistance in Leptosphaeria maculans that render demethylation inhibitor fungicides ineffective in the field

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
As little as 1–10% of the population is needed to be resistant for demethylation inhibitor fungicides to be rendered ineffective. Following a single round of selection, the frequency increases by more than 15% with limited fitness penalty detected when no selection is present.

The continuing significance of chiral agrochemicals

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 4, Page 1697-1716, April 2025.
In the time frame 2018–2023, around 43% of the 35 chiral agrochemicals introduced to the market (herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, acaricides, and nematicides) contain one or more stereogenic centers in the molecule, and almost 69% of them have been marketed as racemic mixtures of enantiomers or stereoisomers.

Retrospective image analysis for long‐term demography using Google Earth imagery

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
We demonstrate that high‐resolution Google Earth imagery, combined with minimal field validation, enables retrospective tracking of individual invasive plants. The image shows one of the monitored individuals of Opuntia sp. in Greece. Our approach reveals long‐term demographic patterns, recruitment dynamics, and spatial expansion without continuous ...

Acao de plantas por meio de infoquimicos sobre o segundo e terceiro niveis troficos

Bioscience Journal, 2006
As plantas não estão passivas frente a ação de insetos herbívoros. Elas se defendem do ataque de herbívoros através de mecanismos físicos e químicos. Por meio de compostos químicos as plantas atraem inimigos naturais de insetos herbívoros ou tornam-se ...

Social Sustainability in Circular Bioeconomy Business Models: Insights From Argentina

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Research on circular bioeconomy business models (CBEBM) has largely prioritised environmental and economic aspects, leaving out the social pillar. To address this gap, this paper analyses to what extent and in what ways social sustainability is integrated into CBEBM, based on 12 cases from northern Argentina, a region with high potential for ...

Temporal dynamics in functional fruit traits of native and invasive fleshy fruited plants in subtropical Andean forests

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Fruits encompass the energetic and material flow between both interacting parties in frugivore‐mediated seed dispersal. Since fruit traits matter in frugivores' foraging decisions, the temporal dynamics of fruit traits might influence interaction outcomes.

Functional traits predict changes in floral phenology under climate change in a highly diverse Mediterranean community

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plants are shifting their flowering phenology in response to climate change, but trends differ between species and communities. Functional traits can largely explain how different species respond to climate change by shifting their phenology, and can therefore help ...
