Modeling Control of Invasive Fire Ants by Gene Drive
Advanced Science, EarlyView.The fire ant Solenopsis invicta is characterized by exceptional invasive capabilities, rendering conventional control ineffective. Here, we explore the use of homing suppression gene drive in fire ants by developing a spatially explicit model. Overall, these results show that target population suppression requires an extended time scale, but that gene ...

NECROMASS PRODUCTION: STUDIES IN UNDISTURBED AND LOGGED AMAZON FORESTS [PDF]
, 2008 Necromass stocks account for up to 20% of carbon stored in tropical forests and have been estimated to be 14–19% of the annual aboveground carbon flux. Both stocks and fluxes of necromass are infrequently measured. In this study, we directly measured the

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Here, our novel model that integrates metabolism with motility dynamics reveals that microalgae shift bacterial movement toward Lévy flight patterns, enhancing encounter rates and self‐aggregation. This microecological manipulation reduces energy costs, strengthens functions such as pollutant removal and system stability.

Storage Potential of Soil Functional Carbon Fractions in the World's Largest Plantations
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Climate warming and drying increase the loss of mineral‐associated and particulate organic carbon during the conversion of natural forests to plantations. Based on a survey of the world's largest plantations, the study quantifies the soil carbon deficit in plantations and assesses benchmarks and targets for functional soil organic carbon, highlighting ...
