Predicted effects of gypsy moth defoliation and climate change on forest carbon dynamics in the New Jersey pine barrens. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2014 Disturbance regimes within temperate forests can significantly impact carbon cycling. Additionally, projected climate change in combination with multiple, interacting disturbance effects may disrupt the capacity of forests to act as carbon sinks at large

Contrasting effects of invasive insects and fire on ecosystem water use efficiency [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2014 We used eddy covariance and meteorological measurements to estimate net ecosystem exchange of CO2 (NEE), gross ecosystem production (GEP), evapotranspiration (Et), and ecosystem water use efficiency (WUEe; calculated as GEP / Et during dry canopy ...

Leaf surface lipophilic compounds as one of the factors of silver birch chemical defense against larvae of gypsy moth. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2015 Plant chemical defense against herbivores is a complex process which involves a number of secondary compounds. It is known that the concentration of leaf surface lipophilic compounds (SLCs), particularly those of flavonoid aglycones are increased with ...

Synthesis of disparlure and monachalure enantiomers from 2,3-butanediacetals
Beilstein Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2020 2,3-Butanediacetal derivatives were used for the stereoselective synthesis of unsymmetrically substituted cis-epoxides. The procedure was applied for the preparation of both enantiomers of disparlure and monachalure, the components of the sex pheromones ...

Evidence of negative density‐dependent dispersal in an invasive forest pest
Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 4, April 2026.Abstract Understanding the mountain pine beetle's dispersal patterns is critical for evaluating its threat to Canada's boreal forests. It is generally believed that higher beetle densities lead to increased long‐distance dispersal. One possible explanation is that beetle aggregation pheromones become repellent at high concentrations, causing beetles to

Molecular mechanisms of sex determination in Lepidoptera: current status and perspectives
Insect Science, Volume 33, Issue 2, Page 599-617, April 2026.The genetic basis of sex determination in Lepidoptera was discovered in 2014 in the silkworm Bombyx mori. In this model species, the W chromosome‐derived small piRNA called Fem piRNA downregulates the expression of a Z‐linked gene, Masculinizer (Masc), which leads to the default female‐specific splicing of the doublesex gene (dsxF) and thus to female ...
