Six Decades of the Sterile Insect Technique Applied to Ceratitis capitata in Israel: Evolution, Methodology and Socio‐Economic Perspectives

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Mediterranean fruit fly (Ceratitis capitata; Medfly) has been a primary agricultural pest in Israel for over a century. While chemical control remains the prevalent choice for its management, the integration of the Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) into the management programme for this pest has been explored and implemented in various ...

Genetic, phenotypic, and ecological differentiation indicate a new cryptic and threatened species in the orchid genus Epidendrum from Alcatrazes Island, southeastern Brazil

Journal of Systematics and Evolution, EarlyView.
Epidendrum insularis occurs on the remote Alcatrazes Island in the southeastern Brazilian coast. The description of this new cryptic species was only possible by the joint use of molecular markers, reproductive experiments, flower morphometry, functional traits, and community analysis.

Extending the limits of algal growth and stress resilience – the desert alga Chlorella ohadii as an emerging model

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Multiple facets of Chlorella ohadii biological properties and potential as a research model and biotechnology platform. Summary Since its isolation from the sand dunes of the Negev Desert over a decade ago, the unicellular green alga Chlorella ohadii has turned into a reference organism for studying photosynthesis, metabolism, and abiotic stress ...

Leaf nutrient resorption across contrasting soil parent materials: it is not just about efficiency

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Box plots showing nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) concentrations in senesced leaves across contrasting parent materials for four site groups. Summary In theory, nutrient resorption from leaves should be higher in sites with lower soil nutrients, increasing the retention and reuse of nutrients that are limited in supply.

Numerical Simulation of the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami: Case Study of Effect of Sand Dunes on the Spatial Distribution of Inundation in Hambantota, Sri Lanka

Journal of Applied Fluid Mechanics, 2010
The megathrust earthquake of moment magnitude 9.1 – 9.3 on December 26, 2004 unleashed a massive tsunami which devastated the coastal belts of Sri Lanka as well as several other countries bordering the Indian Ocean. Extensive field observations carried

Numerical Simulation of Coastal Dune–Interdune Lake Evolution Under Groundwater-Controlled Moisture Effects

Hydrology
Coastal dune fields provide important ecological and geomorphic functions, while their evolution is strongly influenced by groundwater-controlled surface moisture. However, the effects of seasonal groundwater-level fluctuations and moisture-affected sand
