Engineering New‐to‐Nature Biological Pathways for β,γ‐Alkanediol Synthesis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
β,γ‐Alkanediols are value‐added chemicals to be used as functional solvents, biofuels, and cosmetic components. This work demonstrates a carboligation‐mediated approach for synthesis of linear chain β,γ‐alkanediols in Escherichia coli, namely, hexane‐2,3‐diol (2,3‐HDO) and pentane‐2,3‐diol (2,3‐PDO). The engineered E. coli cells produce 152.2 mm (17.98

Heavy metals in carabids (Coleoptera, Carabidae) [PDF]

, 2011
Carabid beetles (Coleoptera, Carabidae) are one of the most studied soil groups in relation to heavy metal (HM) accumulation and use for bioindication of environmental pollution. Accumulation of Zn and Cu in carabid beetles was species-, sex- and trophic

Bioinspired Microphase‐Engineered Binders for Silicon Anodes

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Inspired by the tough exoskeleton of Phloeodes diabolicus, a bio‐based binder featuring LRA–click chemistry and hierarchical crosslinking forms well‐defined microphase‐separated structures that enable robust silicon anodes. This system promotes the formation of a LiF–rich, ultrathin SEI (∼17 nm) with high modulus and ionic conductivity, ensuring long ...

Distribution and use of grasslands in the Czech Republic and biodiversity of invertebrates [PDF]

, 2008
In the Czech Republic the major focus of organic farming lies in permanent grasslands management. Animal production is mostly focused on non-milk pasture beef-raising on almost the whole farm area. By contrast conventional farms do not grass sufficiently,

The influence of forest regrowth, original canopy cover and tree size on saproxylic beetles associated with old oaks [PDF]

, 2000
Abandoned management has caused many sites with free-standing, large oaks (Quercus robur) to become more shaded. This study shows how forest regrowth affects beetle species associated with old oaks in south-eastern Sweden. Beetles were trapped by pitfall

Limited benefits of organic management and fungicide reduction to ground beetles in vineyards

Conservation Science and Practice
The use of fungicides in agriculture can reduce animal biodiversity. Such non‐target effects could be mitigated through fungus‐resistant cultivars that reduce the need for fungicide applications.

Ultrafast Interfacial Engineering for Quantifiable Control of Asymmetric Configurations in Nanostructured Janus Membranes

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Founded on a rapidly formed nanostructured tannic acid/polyethyleneimine (TA/PEI) platform, an ultrafast (∼5 min), universal interfacial engineering strategy utilizing stearoyl chloride (SC) and Phytic acid (PA) enables precise fabrication of Janus membranes across diverse substrates.

Ground beetle dispersal: how to bridge the scales? [PDF]

, 2010
Beneficial arthropods that provide biological control of aphids or weed seeds use a variety of habitats in agricultural landscapes. Information on the movement behaviour of these arthropods between these habitats is needed to develop conservation ...

Habitat Associations of Macro-Staphylinids (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae) at Alice L. Kibbe Life Science Station, Hancock County, Illinois [PDF]

, 2018
Habitat associations of size-selected (≥ 5 mm length) rove beetles (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae), hereafter referred to as “macro-staphylinids,” were studied in west-central Illinois forest and prairie habitats in 2005 using pitfall traps. Habitats sampled

The Influence of Plant Protection on Carabids (Coleoptera, Carabidae) in Potato Crops Cultivated in a Four-Year Rotation

Applied Sciences
Ground beetles (Coleoptera, Carabidae) are common predators found in agricultural ecosystems. They feed on crop pests and help reduce pest population. Additionally, they are used as bioindicators to determine the impact of human activities on entomofauna
