Defoliation of the vines consists of eliminating the leaves in the grape bunch zone in a more or less intensive manner. It is a long-proven prophylactic technique that has seen a renewed interest in the current context of the reduction of phytosanitary ...

The peptides SKTI and GORE‐2 triggered distinct midgut responses in Anticarsia gemmatalis (Lepidoptera: Erebidae). SKTI promoted compensatory digestive and antioxidant responses, whereas GORE‐2 caused broader digestive protease repression, weaker antioxidant activation, and greater epithelial damage.

How wildlife respond to tropical cyclones: short‐term tactics and long‐term impacts
ABSTRACT From butterflies to lizards and from sharks to seabirds, wildlife exhibit tactics to survive the impacts of tropical cyclones, also known as hurricanes, cyclones, or typhoons depending on where they occur. Some species seek refuge during the storm by moving, some remain in place and ride it out, and others move longer distances, avoiding the ...

This study assessed the effects of construction‐related factors, including ALAN, on nocturnal Lepidoptera larvae in mega‐project areas. The results suggest that local environmental conditions play a greater role than ALAN intensity in shaping larval assemblages.

Growth responses of Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii [Mirb.] Franco) to defoliation
The effect of defoliation intensity and season on Douglas-fir growth were studied in three replications in the Siuslaw National Forest during 1988-1990. Four intensities of defoliation were applied once in either spring or summer 1988.

This study investigates the oviposition ecology of the iconic Troidini butterflies on their host plants of the genus Aristolochia in Sabah, where we made the first observation of HR‐like cell death and neoplasm formation in response to oviposition of Troidini, signifying the first such record in the entire Magnoliid clade (> 10,000 spp.).

Soybean induced resistance to Spodoptera eridania herbivory
SOD, CAT, APX, PPO, KTI, and MDA levels were higher in the resistant soybean. S. eridania herbivory increased H2O2 and MDA, but decreased SOD and PPO levels. S. eridania herbivory increased KTI activity only in the resistant variety. Isoquercitrin and daidzin were exclusive to resistant and susceptible soybeans.

Sward structure and post-grazing heights (SH) significantly influence plant growth and animal intake, crucial for dairy grazing systems. However, these interactions are dynamic and vary with season, resource heterogeneity, and defoliation patterns ...
