Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2025.Identifying the sources of intraspecific dietary variation is central to understanding how populations adapt to environmental variation, and yet these sources are poorly understood in a key model species in avian ecology, the great tit. Here we use DNA metabarcoding to describe the diet of great tits at an unprecedented level of detail and reveal ...

Discovery and biological characterization of a novel mesoionic insecticide fenmezoditiaz
Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 5, Page 2535-2552, May 2025.Acetylcholine binding protein (AChBP) from the sea slug Aplysia californica was modified using site‐directed mutagenesis to create an insect‐like binding site enabling structure‐based compound design. Fenmezoditiaz is a systemic insecticide with a broad spectrum, lack of cross‐resistance and an additional tool for integrated pest management and ...
