Identification and activity evaluation of the sex pheromone of Argyrogramma agnata Staudinger in China

New Plant Protection, EarlyView.
The sex pheromone components of Argyrogramma agnata (Staudinger) were identified as Z7‐12:Ac and Z9‐12:Ac. Field trials demonstrated that two components in an 8:3 ratio at a dose of 1100 μg and equipped with box traps could achieve the best capture efficiency. These results provide valuable guidance for the integrated pest management of A.

Urban Consumption of Thrushes in the Early Roman City of Pollentia, Mallorca (Spain)

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In the Roman city of Pollentia (Mallorca, Western Mediterranean), an exceptional zooarchaeological assemblage was recovered from a cesspit dated between the first century BC and the first century ad. The structure, situated in a commercial area adjacent to the forum, was connected to a food shop (taberna) via an underground drainage system ...

Analysis of Interactions Between Pyomelanin and the Extracellular Matrix in an Ex Vivo Turkey Tendon Model

ChemistryOpen, EarlyView.
Polymerization of homogentisic acid in the presence of extracellular matrix (ECM) components (an ex vivo turkey tendon model) yields simplified versions of biologically generated melanins in the ECM, facilitating studies of melanin–ECM interactions. A variety of techniques (X‐ray diffraction, microscopy, and spectroscopy) were employed to understand ...

The missing woodland story: Implications of 1700 years of stand‐scale change on ‘naturalness’ and managing remnant broadleaved woodlands

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Longer‐term perspectives—equivalent to the lifespans of long‐lived trees—are required to fully inform perceptions of ‘naturalness’ used in woodland conservation and management. Stand‐scale dynamics of an old growth temperate woodland are reconstructed using palaeoecological data.

Terroir and rootstock effects on leaf shape in California Central Valley vineyards

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The innumerable effects of terroir—including climate, soil, microbial environment, biotic interactions, and cultivation practice—collectively alter plant performance and production. A more direct agricultural intervention is grafting, in which genetically distinct shoot and root genotypes are surgically combined to create a chimera that alters shoot ...

A comprehensive review of the genetic control of cooking time in dry beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.)

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Reducing cooking time could increase dry beans (Phaseolus vulgaris) consumption. Cooking is an essential processing step needed to unlock the nutrients in dry beans and to make them palatable and safe for consumption. Long cooking times have consequences for dry bean use, especially where cooking fuel cost is high and when people prefer foods that are ...

Antbears and underground melons: A highly specialized seed dispersal mutualism mediated by scent

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Seed dispersal is critical for the establishment and persistence of populations of most plant species. We investigated the seed dispersal biology of an African melon, Cucumis humifructus, which is closely related to cultivated cucumbers and watermelons but differs in that it buries its fruits deep underground.
