The Plant Genome, Volume 18, Issue 4, December 2025.Abstract We present the first reference genome of the highly heterozygous autotetraploid Allium porrum (leek). Combining long‐read sequencing with single‐nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)‐array screening of two experimental F1 populations, we generated a genetic map with 11,429 SNP markers across eight linkage groups and a chromosome‐scale assembly of A ...

Monitoring and testing different doses of disparlure for Indian gypsy moth, Lymantria obfuscata, in a temperate region of India (Kashmir Valley) [PDF]
, 2015 Pheromone traps with different doses of disparlure [(Z)-7,8-epoxy-2-methyloctadecane] were tested for a local strain of the Indian gypsy moth (Lymantria obfuscata) at Sher-e-Kashmir University of Agricultural Sciences and Technology of Kashmir (India ...

From leprosy to ground zero: Imagining futures in a world of elimination
Medical Anthropology Quarterly, Volume 39, Issue 4, December 2025.Abstract Achieving a target of zero—zero disease, zero disability, and zero discrimination—has become the dominant focus of campaigns to control or eliminate diseases, from HIV/AIDS to malaria to leprosy. Given the historical failure of most eradication programs over the last century, such teleological imaginings of disease‐free futures might seem ...

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 18, Issue 11, November 2025.ABSTRACT Large epidemiological impacts resulting from disease vector control interventions are typically associated with significant disruption of vector populations. While vector density is a frequently measured response, impacts on demography and connectivity are suspected but rarely quantified.

Experiments with Lymantria dispar larvae do not support the idea of physiological adjustment to host individuals by insect herbivores [PDF]
Web Ecology, 2013 All organisms have to cope with spatial and temporal heterogeneity of the environment. At short temporal and small spatial scales, organisms may respond by behavioural or physiological mechanisms.

Use of Track Plates to Quantify Predation Risk at Small Spatial Scales [PDF]
, 2005 Spatial heterogeneity in risk is a critical component of predator-prey interactions. However, at small spatial scales, it is difficult to quantify predation risk without altering it.
