Alternative Cropping Systems and Practices Tend to Improve Sustainability From a Multi‐Criteria Assessment Framework. A Systematic Review

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Alternative cropping systems and practices (ACSPs) are increasingly promoted as strategies to enhance sustainability across environmental, economic, and social dimensions. Consequently, evaluating the performance of ACSPs is necessary to determine whether they effectively contribute to sustainability across these multiple dimensions.

Commercial Product Based on Metarhizium Anisopliae Affects Survival, Midgut Morphology, and Behavior in the Stingless Bee Scaptotrigona depilis (Hymenoptera: Apidae)

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Brazilian social stingless bees are important pollinators and producers of honey, wax, royal jelly, propolis, and other products. These species are experiencing a population decline, attributed to different factors, such as the excessive use of pesticides.

Cellular uptake of extracellular dsRNA is tissue-dependent in insects

BMC Biology
Background RNA interference (RNAi), a naturally occurring gene silencing mechanism found in almost all eukaryotic organisms, has proven to be an adaptable and powerful tool in therapeutics, bioengineering, and agriculture. Differential responses to RNAi,

Matrine–Tea Saponin Synergism Involves Suppressed Detoxification and Digestion in a Leaf Beetle

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Tea saponin and matrine showed synergistic toxicity against Plagiodera versicolora. Combined exposure suppressed digestion‐ and detoxification‐related processes, while silencing the trypsin gene Pver105950 and chitinase gene Pver001190 increased larval susceptibility to tea saponin and matrine, respectively.

Heatwave‐Resilient Cuticular Microbiota Protect the Leaf Beetle Plagiodera versicolora From Fungal Infection

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The increasing frequency and intensity of heatwaves—extreme thermal events characterized by prolonged supra‐optimal temperatures—exert profound impacts on global ecosystem stability and species interactions. While the disruptive effects of thermal stress on host physiology and gut microbiota are well documented, the role of cuticular ...
