Adaptation of the invasive pest Drosophila suzukii to a specialized nutritional niche

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Unlike most Drosophila larvae that feed on spoiled food, Drosophila suzukii larvae thrive on ripening fruits and consequently face a low‐protein, high‐carbohydrate nutritional challenge. Comparisons of growth among D. suzukii, D. biarmipes, and D. melanogaster larvae across diets with varying protein‐to‐carbohydrate ratios demonstrate that D.

Carbon Source and Soil Origin Shape Soil Microbiomes and Tomato Soilborne Pathogen Populations During Anaerobic Soil Disinfestation

Phytobiomes Journal, 2018
Soilborne disease complexes are an emerging constraint in protected culture tomato production systems in the Midwestern United States. Diseases in these complexes include Verticillium wilt (Verticillium dahliae), black dot root rot (Colletotrichum ...

Stable flies preferentially oviposit on sites offering conspecific eggs with egg‐derived bacterial semiochemicals

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Stable flies preferentially oviposit on sites offering conspecific eggs with egg‐derived airborne semiochemicals. Egg‐borne bacterial symbionts, and Serratia marcescens in particular, produce odorants which attract gravid female flies and elicit oviposition.

Integrated multi-omics reveals terpenoid-driven metabolic and transcriptional regulation underlying sweetpotato resistance to black rot disease

BMC Plant Biology
Sweetpotato black rot, caused by the fungus Ceratocystis fimbriata, adversely affects yield and postharvest quality. We applied integrated transcriptomic and metabolomic profiling to elucidate resistance mechanisms in the black rot–resistant cultivar ...

Experience and self‐interest: Diverging responses to global warming

American Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.
Abstract People are increasingly feeling global warming's effects through extreme heat and natural disasters. How do these climate shocks affect political attitudes? We argue that the effect of climate‐related experiences depends significantly on self‐interest.

The Best of Times at the Worst of Times: How Adults Respond to a Brief Intervention (RETURN) to Increase Planned Dental Visiting

Community Dentistry and Oral Epidemiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Although acute health crises can disrupt routines and open a window for behaviour change, these teachable moments are rarely harnessed by intervention designs. The RETURN intervention (comprising a dental nurse‐led conversation, short peer videos and booklets supporting knowledge, skills and action‐planning) aimed to change planned dental ...
