Decades of Enclosure Protection Exert Composite Effects on Grassland Grasshopper Communities
Decades of enclosure protection have altered grasshopper community structure, with species‐specific effects on population dynamics. For the low‐mobility grasshopper Chorthippus fallax, abundance did not differ strongly between exclosure‐protected and overgrazed areas, but its egg development duration was longer in exclosures. The two C.

Delipidisation of wool fibres and the subsequent beneficial properties of delipidised wool fibres
Abstract Wool fibres are complex matrices of proteins and fatty acids/lipids found both internally and externally. 18‐methyleicosanoic acid (18‐MEA) is covalently bound to the surface of the fibre via a thio‐ester link, and is considered one of the most important lipids as it is responsible for the hydrophobic properties of wool fibres.

Integrative DNA barcoding of ambrosia beetles and host plants revealed 27 beetle species across 16 genera and extensive, previously undocumented host plant diversity in Laos and Vietnam. Host specificity varied widely among ambrosia beetles, with Xylosandrus crassiusculus emerging as a dominant generalist associated with 19 host species from 12 plant ...

ABSTRACT Jikradia olitoria Say is a Nearctic leafhopper that was recently reported in several European countries. Given its role as the vector of phytoplasmas associated with Grapevine Yellows diseases (GYD) in its native range, its presence in European vineyard agroecosystems could represent an important phytosanitary risk.

A high‐quality reference genome for the elite peanut cultivar Zhonghua No. 5 revealed differing evolutionary paths between the two peanut subgenomes. SubA has higher overall gene expression and more open chromatin, whereas SubB has stronger structural organization, higher DNA methylation, and greater adaptive diversity associated with peanut evolution ...
