Butterfly and moth habitat specialisation changes along an elevational gradient of tropical forests on Mount Cameroon

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Niche breadth, reflecting the range of environmental conditions or resources a species can exploit, influences its distribution, persistence, vulnerability to environmental change, and interspecific interactions. The elevational niche‐breadth hypothesis predicts broader ecological niches at higher elevations due to increased environmental stress and ...

Using Lignin and Spent Coffee Grounds as Bio‐Additives in 3D‐Printable Poly Lactic Acid/Multi‐Walled Carbon Nanotube Composites for Advanced Electronic Applications

open access: yesPolymer Composites, EarlyView.
Bio‐based additives derived from lignin and spent coffee grounds (SCG) are used to enhance MWCNT dispersion in PLA composites, enabling improved electrical conductivity and reliable in material extruded strain‐gauge sensors. ABSTRACT In this work, three bio‐based additives, lignin, spent coffee grounds (SCG), and oil extracted from SCG (Ox‐SCG) were ...

How effective are entomopathogenic nematodes for vine weevil (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) biological control? A meta‐analysis

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Entomopathogenic nematodes provide reliable biological control of vine weevil larvae, reducing populations by 63% on average. All five tested species are effective, with temperature (18–30 °C) being the strongest predictor of success. Abstract BACKGROUND Vine weevil (Otiorhynchus sulcatus) is a globally important pest of soft fruit and ornamental crops

Evaluating the potential of RNA interference for control of striped cucumber beetle, Acalymma vittatum (Fabricius) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae)

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
SCB has a robust RNAi response to injected dsRNA, but oral RNAi is less efficient. Nucleases do not appear to be responsible for the discrepancy, suggesting other factors are involved. Abstract BACKGROUND The striped cucumber beetle (SCB) is a serious pest of cucurbit crops, causing damage both by feeding on plants and by vectoring plant diseases ...
