Take flight: predation risk induces wing polyphenism and dispersal in the aphid Myzus persicae

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Predator risk above a critical density induces winged morphs in Myzus persicae, promoting dispersal and reducing predation compared with wingless aphids. This density‐dependent phenotypic plasticity enhances survival but may compromise biological control by facilitating aphid dispersal.

Domestic composters as winter reservoirs for the invasive pest Drosophila suzukii in temperate climates

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Domestic composters enable year‐round emergence of Drosophila suzukii, buffering winter temperatures and supporting larval development, potentially enhancing overwintering survival and early‐season crop reinfestation. Abstract BACKGROUND Drosophila suzukii is an invasive pest established worldwide, including in temperate regions with harsh winters.

Persistence of seed‐applied pesticides in soybeans: environmental influences and implications for crop protection

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Early soybean planting in cool, wet soils slows emergence and results in about half the insecticide and fungicide concentrations at vegetative emergence compared with standard planting, where faster emergence maintains roughly double the pesticide concentrations, yet pesticide persistence remains similar across both planting dates.

Multi‐Scale Engineering of Photonic Meta‐Structures With Emergent Optical Resonances via Colloidal Crystal Engineering With DNA and Microwell Templates

Small, EarlyView.
This work presents a bottom‐up strategy for forming meta‐structures built from DNA‐assembled nanoparticle superlattices, establishing a versatile platform for multiscale photonic materials design. Confinement stabilizes non‐equilibrium crystal habits and enables geometry and mode control independent of lattice symmetry.

Programmable Porosity in Polymers via Microfluidic Templating and 3D Printing

Small Methods, EarlyView.
Fluid templating is a powerful way to produce porous polymers. Microfluidic technologies enable fine control over the dimension and packing of bubbles and droplets. Combined with additive manufacturing, microfluidic templating enables the creation of polymeric functionally graded porous materials in which both porosity and three‐dimensional geometry ...

Experimental and Numerical Investigation of Biocarbon Injection Behavior for Electric Arc Furnace Slag Foaming

steel research international, EarlyView.
Biocarbon injection is investigated as a promising pathway for sustainable electric arc furnace steelmaking using a combined experimental–numerical approach. Results demonstrate that biocarbon can effectively penetrate slag and generate intense foaming within a defined operating window.
