Defoliation of the vines before or after berry set: Physiological consequences and qualitative factors

open access: yesIVES Technical Reviews, 2019
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 ...

Integrated Transcriptomic and Physiological Analyses Reveal Disruption of Digestive Homeostasis Induced by Protease Inhibitors in Anticarsia gemmatalis Caterpillars

open access: yesArchives of Insect Biochemistry and Physiology, Volume 123, Issue 2, October 2026.
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.

Effect of defoliation intensity and timing on the growth of Populus alba and Salix babylonica x Salix alba

open access: yes, 2019
Insect defoliations have detrimental impacts on timber production in commercial tree plantations. The effect of intensity and timing of defoliation on the growth of two commercial salicaceae was assessed at plantations located in the Delta of the Paraná ...

How wildlife respond to tropical cyclones: short‐term tactics and long‐term impacts

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2081-2102, October 2026.
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 ...

Nocturnal Lepidoptera Larvae in Mega‐Project: Habitat and Environmental Factors Over Construction Effects

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.
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

open access: yes
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.

Vengeful Vines: Cell Death and Neoplasm Formation in Aristolochia (Aristolochiaceae, Piperales) in Response to Oviposition of Troidini (Papilionidae, Lepidoptera) Butterflies

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.
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

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 10, Page 9931-9943, October 2026.
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.

Forage Production and Sward Structure Dynamics of Tall Fescue (Lolium arundinaceum) Pasture Grazed to Different Sward Heights

open access: yesAgronomy
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 ...
