Population Genetic Differences Between Two Cucurbit Leaf Beetles With Contrasting Feeding Preferences

Ecology and Evolution
The Aulacophora beetles are pests closely associated with cucurbit plants. However, research on the fine‐scale population genetics of species within this genus remains limited. This study employed mitogenome data from 211 individuals (102 A.

A Study on the Assembly Mechanisms of Shrub Communities in Coniferous and Broadleaved Forests—A Case Study of Jiangxi, China

Biology
The ecological strategies of understory shrubs are critical for maintaining the structure and function of forest understory vegetation. Understanding the assembly mechanisms of these shrub communities is a central issue in modern ecology. To address this,

Pathogen Emergence As Complex Biological Invasion: Lessons From Dynamical Systems Modeling

Northeast Journal of Complex Systems, 2023
Infectious disease emergence has become the target of cross-disciplinary efforts that aim to understand and predict the shape of outbreaks. The many challenges involved with the prediction of disease emergence events is a characteristic that infectious ...

Invasions in heterogeneous habitats in the presence of advection

, 2012
We investigate invasions from a biological reservoir to an initially empty, heterogeneous habitat in the presence of advection. The habitat consists of a periodic alternation of favorable and unfavorable patches.

Boom‐bust dynamics in biological invasions: towards an improved application of the concept [PDF]

, 2017
Boom‐bust dynamics – the rise of a population to outbreak levels, followed by a dramatic decline – have been associated with biological invasions and offered as a reason not to manage troublesome invaders.

Clinical Insights Into Hypercalcemia of Malignancy in Childhood

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hypercalcemia of malignancy (HCM) is a rare but life‐threatening metabolic emergency in children that occurs in less than 1% of pediatric cancer cases, with a reported incidence ranging from 0.4% to 1.0% across different studies. While it is observed in 10%–20% of adult malignancies, pediatric HCM remains relatively uncommon.

WRKY61 Negatively Regulates Aluminum Resistance by Inhibiting the Expression of ALMT1 in Arabidopsis thaliana

Plants
Aluminum (Al) toxicity is a major constraint on crop production in acidic soils. A key mechanism for aluminum resistance in many plants involves the ALMT1-mediated exudation of malate from the root system. This process hinges on the precise regulation of

Microbial ecology of biological invasions [PDF]

The ISME Journal, 2007
AbstractInvasive microbes, plants and animals are a major threat to the composition and functioning of ecosystems; however, the mechanistic basis of why exotic species can be so abundant and disruptive is not well understood. Most studies have focused on invasive plants and animals, although few have considered the effects of invasive microbes, or ...

Feasibility and Safety of High‐Dose Proton Re‐Irradiation in Recurrent Pediatric Central Nervous System Tumors: A Single‐Institution Retrospective Study

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose Pediatric central nervous system (CNS) tumors often recur despite multimodality therapy. Although re‐irradiation (re‐RT) has historically been limited by concerns for severe late toxicities, modern techniques have renewed interest in this approach. Proton therapy provides dosimetric advantages that may enable curative re‐treatment with

Phragmites australis and Argyrogramma albostriata Suppress the Invasion of Solidago canadensis in China Under Future Climate Change

Ecology and Evolution
Global warming has significantly accelerated the invasion process and expanded the distribution range of Solidago canadensis. It forms a dominant monoculture in multiple regions via wind‐dispersed seeds and rhizome clonal propagation, posing a serious ...
