Insights Into Bifenthrin Stereoisomers and Their Regulatory Implications

ChemistryOpen, Volume 15, Issue 5, May 2026.
Bifenthrin is a pyrethroid insecticide with two stereogenic centers, generating four stereoisomers with distinct physicochemical and electronic properties. A combined crystallographic and density functional theory study, supported by Hirshfeld surface, quantum theory of atoms in molecules, natural bond orbital, and reactivity descriptor analyses ...

Phylogeographic and Potential Distribution of Wild Apricot (Prunus armeniaca) in Xinjiang: Insights From Chloroplast/Nuclear DNA and Ecological Niche Modeling

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
This study employed integrated analyses of chloroplast DNA and nuclear genes, which revealed significant divergence in genetic structure between the two genomic compartments in Xinjiang wild apricots, reflecting complex evolutionary processes influenced by natural selection, genetic drift, and gene flow. Population history analyses indicated an absence

A Century of Invasion: How Biosecurity Influenced Populations of Sirex noctilio and Its Fungal Symbiont in Australasia

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 6, March 2026.
ABSTRACT The woodwasp, Sirex noctilio, and its mutualistic fungal symbiont, Amylostereum areolatum, are native to Eurasia and northern Africa. Sirex noctilio was first reported outside its native range in New Zealand in 1900, Tasmania in 1952 and mainland Australia in 1961.

Combining ability and heterosis in partial resistance to gray leaf spot in elite maize (Zea mays L.) genotypes

Crop Science, Volume 66, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
Abstract Six sets of 48 maize (Zea mays L.) inbred lines, and their 96 single crosses generated using the North Carolina Mating Design II system, were evaluated for resistance to gray leaf spot (GLS). The aim of the study was to assess the implications of combining ability, heterotic effects, and potence ratio in breeding for GLS resistance in maize ...

Political Ideology as Historically Situated Motivated Social Cognition: Understanding Right‐Wing Conservatism in Brazil

Journal of Social Issues, Volume 81, Issue 4, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Right‐wing conservatism in Brazil has deep historical roots, shaped by the social dominance of colonialism, ideological justification of the slave system, and a series of authoritarian regimes. Under the presidency of Jair Bolsonaro, Brazil offered a geopolitical context in which these historical legacies were reactivated through three ...

Agency Attribution and Biological Dehumanisation: Preliminary Evidence

Journal of Community &Applied Social Psychology, Volume 35, Issue 5, September/October 2025.
ABSTRACT Dehumanisation is the perception of someone less than human. Several studies have used innovative approaches to investigate the subtle ways in which humanity can be denied. While most of these models clearly distinguish humans from animals and robots, none adequately capture the huge range of dehumanisation that exists in metaphorical thought,

Identification of Fungicides in Hevea brasiliensis Latex Serum Extracts and Inhibition Against Phytophthora palmivora, a Black Rot Disease Pathogen in Orchids

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 4, Issue 3, September 2025.
ABSTRACT The para rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis) is an economic crop cultivated worldwide, particularly in Southeast Asia. Their latex serum is commonly treated as waste in the rubber industry. We aimed to investigate the latex serum for its antifungal activity.

Complex population genetic structure of the bark beetle predator Thanasimus formicarius (L.) (Coleoptera: Cleridae) across its European range

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 27, Issue 3, Page 437-451, August 2025.
Abstract Thanasimus formicarius (L.) (Coleoptera: Cleridae) is an important bark beetle predator and can reduce bark beetle population densities of some of the most severe forest pests in Europe. We analysed the population genetics and phylogeography of T.

Forty years of vegetation dynamics in the subarctic‐alpine landscape of the Cairngorm Mountains of Scotland using Landsat image analysis

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 6, Issue 3, July–September 2025.
We analysed 40 years of Landsat NDVI data across the subarctic‐alpine Cairngorm Mountains to investigate long‐term vegetation change. We found widespread significant increases in NDVI—especially in high‐elevation acid grassland—suggesting a climate‐driven greening trend. These results highlight the vulnerability of montane ecosystems to climate warming,
