Analysis of volatile and non‐volatile metabolites across three developmental stages (3rd, 4th and 5th instar nymphal stages) of leaf galls induced by Phacopteron lentiginosum on Garuga pinnata revealed that the 3rd stage exhibited the highest chemical diversity and concentration followed by 4th and 5th stages.

Ant presence was associated with lower gall density on Macaranga beccariana, whereas trees lacking ant defense had more galls and showed different parasitism patterns. Results from this natural experiment suggest that plant‐ants may indirectly influence gall midges through their effects on multitrophic interactions.

ABSTRACT Species distribution models (SDMs) are widely used to predict the spread of invasive species, yet their accuracy over time and the influence of climate data resolution remain unclear. Here, we examine the capacity of SDMs to predict the distribution and short‐term expansion of the invasive gall wasp Dryocosmus kuriphilus, and compare the ...

Agnosticism about artificial consciousness
Could an AI have conscious experiences? Answers to this question should be based not on intuition, dogma or speculation but on solid scientific evidence. However, I argue such evidence is hard to come by and that the only justifiable stance is agnosticism.
