Pollution of the waters in the Volga River delta with organochlorine pesticide DDT
Учёные записки Казанского университета: Серия Естественные наукиThis article describes the results of a study on DDT content in the watercourses of the Volga River delta. Based on the data from the long-term state environmental monitoring in 1985–2022, DDT concentrations in the water of the investigated region were ...

Ibis, EarlyView.The identification of key habitats of threatened species and of extrinsic environmental factors that influence their resilience to human‐induced environmental changes are the foundation for the definition of conservation objectives. Using the presence and numerical abundance data collected in a long‐term survey (2000–24) of breeding colonies of Lesser ...

Toward a global repository of insect traits (GRIT)
Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.Biodiversity loss is accelerating, yet insect conservation is hindered by the absence of a centralised, comprehensive trait database. We propose the GRIT, a FAIR, open‐access platform uniting datasets and collaborators worldwide. GRIT will harness advanced computational tools for trait acquisition and imputation, enabling large‐scale ecological ...

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.We simultaneously analysed insecticide resistance mutations in VGSC and AChE using NGS and hybridization probe capture in houseflies collected from livestock facilities for the first time. Resistance mutations in both VGSC and AChE were detected in most wild populations, suggesting widespread distribution of resistance genes.

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT MicroRNA319 (miR319) has been demonstrated to regulate plant development and responses to stress such as drought and salt. However, its role in thermotolerance, particularly in cool season grasses, remains unclear. Here we report that miR319 plays a negative role in heat tolerance of creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera).
