Dispersal and Repulsion of Entomopathogenic Nematodes to Prenol
Biology, 2019 Chemosensory cues are crucial for entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs)—a guild of insect-killing parasitic nematodes that are used as biological control agents against a variety of agricultural pests.

Mother knows best: dominant females determine offspring dispersal in red foxes (Vulpes vulpes). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Relatedness between group members is central to understanding the causes of animal dispersal. In many group-living mammals this can be complicated as extra-pair copulations result in offspring having varying levels of relatedness to the dominant animals,

Optimal Control for a Dispersing Biological Agent
Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, 2014 A bioeconomic model is developed to analyze the optimal control management strategies for an introduced herbivore in a two-compartment ecosystem. This paper analyzes cost-effective control strategies that decrease the spillover effects of the herbivore on endangered plant species, thereby reducing extinction pressure and increasing benefits.

Global Ecology and ConservationThe global introduction of human-mediated trade and local dispersal through transport or natural pathways are major processes and contributors to biological invasion. To effectively prevent and manage biological invasion, global introduction pathways and

PLoS ONE, 2017 Dispersal is a biological process performed in three stages: emigration, transfer and immigration. Intra-specific variation on dispersal behavior, such as sex-bias, is very common in nature, particularly in birds and mammals.

Solid Dispersions of Biologically Active Substances
, 2020 Due to the rapid development of nanotechnologies, materials, in particular , solid dispersions (SDs), which are actively introduced into the life of modern man, have been obtained. Special progress in this area is observed in industry and medicine. The use of SDs in agriculture is lagging far behind, despite the growing number of scientific papers on ...

Controlled radical polymerization in dispersed systems for biological applications [PDF]
Progress in Polymer Science, 2020 Polymeric nanoparticles show great promise in a range of biomedical applications, improving pharmacokinetic properties, dose requirements and immune response in drug delivery and bioimaging. Common synthesis techniques such as self-assembly, while prevalent, are unscalable and require the use of organic solvents, or extensive purification. In contrast,
