Evaluating the efficacy of tagging adhesives for insect tracking

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 28, Issue 3, Page 515-521, August 2026.
Two‐part epoxy resin delivered the strongest RFID tag adhesion on carabid beetles, exceeding polyvinyl acetate, cosmetic latex and cyanoacrylate adhesives. Adhesive performance was consistent across Harpalus, Leistus and Poecilus; species effects were non‐significant, supporting a broadly applicable protocol for carabid RFID tagging studies.

Fecal Steroids as Tracers of Human Population and Waste Management Practices at the Ancient Maya City of Ucanal, Guatemala

Archaeometry, Volume 68, Issue 4, Page 646-658, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Geochemical data compiled from dried sediments from three water reservoirs at the ancient Maya city of Ucanal, Petén, Guatemala, reveal low to undetectable fecal biomarker concentrations. These low concentrations may be the result of the aerobic decay of sterols combined with well‐managed waste disposal practices.

Barley HvBODYGUARD1 controls cuticular specialisations regulated by SHINE transcription factors

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 3, Page 1188-1208, August 2026.
Cuticle defects result from defective HvBDG1 alleles. Summary Land plants secrete a protective outer cuticular layer with diverse functions. Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) develops two cuticular specialisations: the β‐diketone rich wax bloom on vegetative tissues and an adherent grain surface which sticks to the hulls, leading to barley's distinctive ...

A critical review of pre‐harvest sprouting in barley

Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
Abstract Pre‐harvest sprouting (PHS) in barley (Hordeum vulgare) threatens grain quality and malting performance. This review synthesizes current knowledge on genetic, environmental, physiological, and management factors influencing PHS susceptibility. Seed dormancy, governed by loci including Qsd1 and Qsd2 (where Qsd is quantitative seed dormancy) and

Drought induced metabolic shifts and water loss mechanisms in canola: role of cysteine, phenylalanine and aspartic acid

Frontiers in Plant Science
Drought conditions severely curtail the ability of plants to accumulate biomass due to the closure of stomata and the decrease of photosynthetic assimilation rate. Additionally, there is a shift in the plant’s metabolic processes toward the production of
