An extinction‐emergency metacollection: Maximising future recovery options for Rhodomyrtus psidioides (Myrtaceae), threatened by Myrtle Rust

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
A challenge for wild plant conservation is the rising incidence of plant pathogens that are difficult to interdict, contain and manage. Invasive, fast‐moving, broad‐spectrum pathogens impose societal costs through losses of intrinsically valuable wild biodiversity, ecosystem function, current and potential genetic and biological assets, culturally ...

RNA interference of the ecdysone receptor gene AgEcR in a wolfberry ‐ specialized strain of Aphis gossypii Glover affects its survival and fecundity and confers resistance in transgenic goji (Lycium barbarum L.)

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
AgEcR, an ecdysone receptor from Aphis gossypii, is an RNA interference (RNAi) target. Artificial diet screening of five double ‐ stranded RNA fragments identified dsAgEcR2 targeting the D/E junction as the most potent. Transgenic goji expressing dsAgEcR2 caused molting defects and reduced fecundity, suppressing population growth and offering a ...

Mapping School Accessibility in Africa: High‐Resolution Spatial Analysis Uncovers Inequalities in Education Access

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Education is a cornerstone of sustainable development, yet large disparities in access persist across and within countries—particularly in Africa, where millions remain underserved. Among several factors influencing educational participation, physical accessibility to schools (in terms of travel time) is not comprehensively understood ...

World Models for Robotic Manipulation: A Survey

SmartBot, EarlyView.
World models enable robots to anticipate how candidate actions may alter object configurations, contact states, and scene geometry before physical execution. This survey examines world models for robotic manipulation as action‐conditioned predictive systems and organizes the literature according to predicted representations, interfaces between ...

Can AI be Easy? Lessons Learned From the EZR.py Toolkit

Software: Practice and Experience, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Much recent press claims that developers no longer need to read code. We disagree, at least within the domain of tabular software‐engineering (SE) optimization tasks: rows of x$$ x $$ and y$$ y $$ values where the y$$ y $$ values are expensive to obtain.

Resource Availability Modulates Effects of Fluorine Free Firefighting Foams

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fluorine‐free foam (F3) alternatives that lack per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are rapidly being adopted for firefighting operations and will be entering ecosystems. Despite this, little is known about their impact on freshwater communities.

Elevated nitrogen deposition protects an invasive plant from herbivory through altering leaf volatile‐mediated tritrophic interactions

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Atmospheric nitrogen deposition disrupts plant–herbivore interactions, but its impact on leaf volatile organic compounds (VOCs)‐mediated multi‐trophic herbivore resistance remains unclear within the context of plant invasion. In this study, we initially investigated the
