ABSTRACT Spodoptera litura (Fabricius) is a highly polyphagous lepidopteran pest; however, little is known about its seasonal population dynamics or larval host plant use in northern Australia. Improved understanding of the ecology of S. litura is increasingly important given the anticipated expansion of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) cotton production in

We compared soybean plants from untreated and treated seeds across 4 sites and 3 years in Maryland. Neonicotinoid seed treatments (NST) provided little reduction in insect stippling damage and no reduction in chewing damage. NST did not result in increased plant biomass or bean yield. Abstract The use of neonicotinoid insecticides in seed treatments in

ABSTRACT The effects of long‐term wild ungulate exclusion on soil organic carbon (SOC) storage and soil organic matter (SOM) properties in forest ecosystems remain uncertain. Past research has been limited by short exclosure duration, shallow sampling depth, and confounding factors.

Compounding Human and Bioclimatic Factors Driving the Global Fire Crisis
The global fire crisis has emerged from centuries of disruptions to coupled social‐ecological systems that govern fire regimes. ABSTRACT Over millennia, social and ecological systems have been shaped by fire and have in turn shaped fire regimes. However, recent decades have seen an escalating “fire crisis” characterized by an increasing incidence of ...

Negative Role of the Receptor‐Like Kinase GbMIK2 in Regulating Cotton Verticillium Wilt Resistance
Upon infection with Verticillium dahliae, cotton plants induce the interaction between GbMIK2 and GbOCP3 at the cell membrane and in the nucleus, which blocks ROS burst and JA‐mediated resistance, resulting in suppression of cotton resistance to Verticillium wilt.

Functional memory of drought affects leaf chemical defenses and microbial interactions in aspen
Experimental design of the common garden study. Summary Drought is an important driver of tree mortality, but its long‐term impacts on trait expression remain poorly understood. Leaves are a key interface at which trees respond to abiotic stress, and foliar traits such as chemical defenses and microbial communities may play a role in determining post ...
