Validation of a novel bioassay method for the evaluation of the activity of slow‐acting insecticides on tomato borer Phthorimaea absoluta

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Extended bioassays revealed that azadirachtin and spirotetramat show strong delayed effects against Phthorimaea absoluta, underestimated by the standard Insecticide Resistance Action Committee (IRAC) method 022 protocol. Incorporating long‐term exposures is essential to accurately assess slow‐acting insecticides and improve resistance management ...

Synergistic Integration of SrFeO3 Nanoparticles With Exfoliated MXene (Ti3C2Tx/V2CTx) Nanosheets for High Performance Supercapacitors

Small, EarlyView.
A facile mechanical mixing, probe‐sonication, and annealing strategy was employed to intercalate SrFeO3 nanoparticles between Ti3C2Tx and V2CTx MXene sheets, constructing robust heterostructures for advanced supercapacitors. The inserted perovskite suppresses MXene restacking while contributing additional Faradaic redox activity.

Concrete in architecture: Redefining form, space, function, and insights from bibliometric analysis

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Concrete has become a cornerstone in architectural and engineering innovation, as it seamlessly integrates structural performance with artistic expression. Its evolution from ancient opus caementicium to contemporary ultra‐high‐performance concrete illustrates its adaptability to the change in technological, environmental, and design paradigms.

Dietary and Ranging Behavior of Semi‐Free Ranging Lemur catta and Varecia rubra at Myakka City Lemur Reserve, Florida, USA

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.
Betsiboka, a female red ruffed lemur (Varecia rubra) eating Carolina redroot in the Tower forest. ABSTRACT Lemurs are severely threatened due to anthropogenic habitat loss and climate change. Therefore, understanding how lemurs adapt their diets to novel habitats is critically important for maintaining healthy wild populations and effectively managing ...

Offspring performance does not explain oviposition preference in the leafminer Stigmella sorbi (Lepidoptera: Nepticulidae): a tri‐trophic perspective

Insect Science, EarlyView.
We studied oviposition site selection in a leaf‐mining moth (Stigmella sorbi) on rowan trees (Sorbus aucuparia) in northwestern Russia, assessing larval performance across different shoot types, leaf positions, and leaflets. Larval survival was highest on long vegetative shoots, yet females showed no preference for these optimal sites.
