Tracing the origin of the alien pest Cydia pomonella in Algeria through a worldwide comparison of the species’ DNA barcodes Reserche de l'origine du ravageur exotique Cydia pomonella en Algérie grâce à une comparaison mondiale des codes‐barres ADN de l'espèce Rastreando el origen de la plaga exótica Cydia pomonella en Argelia mediante una comparación mundial de los códigos de barras del ADN de la especie

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 27, Issue 2, Page 171-181, May 2025.
Cydia pomonella (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) is a harmful apple and pear pest spread worldwide. We sequenced, for the first time, mitochondrial DNA from C. pomonella caterpillars collected in Northern Africa (Algeria) and assessed where it was introduced from.

Heart rate variability in horses with and without severe equine asthma

Equine Veterinary Journal, Volume 57, Issue 3, Page 611-618, May 2025.
Abstract Background Equine asthma in severe form (severe equine asthma [sEA]) shares remarkable similarities with human asthma. Human studies detected changes in the autonomic nervous system function in asthmatic patients based on heart rate variability (HRV) analysis. Study design Observational study. Objectives To investigate the relationship between

Invasion origin, rapid population expansion, and the lack of genetic structure of cotton bollworm (Helicoverpa armigera) in the Americas [PDF]

, 2020
In 2013, Helicoverpa armigera (Hubner) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) was officially declared as present in Brazil and, after two years, the species was detected in the Caribbean and North America.

How Air Temperature and Solar Radiation Impact Life History Traits in a Wild Insect

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 3, March 2025.
Ectotherms are essential components of all ecosystems and rely on external heat to regulate their body temperature. We studied the effects of air temperature and shading on crickets reared at different altitudes and found that development time was influenced primarily by temperature, whereas mass at adulthood depended on the interaction between shading

Molecular Evolution of the H5 and H7 Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza Virus Haemagglutinin Cleavage Site Motif

Reviews in Medical Virology, Volume 35, Issue 1, January 2025.
ABSTRACT Avian influenza viruses are ubiquitous in the Anatinae subfamily of aquatic birds and occasionally spill over to poultry. Infection with low pathogenicity avian influenza viruses generally leads to subclinical or mild clinical disease. In contrast, highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses emerge from low pathogenic forms and can cause severe ...

Enhancing Psychophysiological Well‐Being Through Nature‐Based Soundscapes: An Examination of Heart Rate Variability in a Cross‐Over Study

Psychophysiology, Volume 62, Issue 1, January 2025.
ABSTRACT Stress and psychological disorders are substantial public health concerns, necessitating innovative therapeutic strategies. This study investigated the psychophysiological benefits of nature‐based soundscapes, drawing on the biophilia hypothesis.

Post‐flowering high night‐time temperature stress impacts physiology and starch metabolism in field‐grown maize

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 7, Issue 3, September 2024.
Abstract The global average daily minimum temperatures are increasing at a quicker pace than the average daily maximum temperatures, which are predicted to increase in severity impacting global food production. This study focuses on elucidating the physiological and transcriptional response to high night‐time temperature (HNT) stress in 12 US ...

Phylogeography of a herbal Pinellia ternata reveals repeated range expansions and inter/postglacial recolonization routes on the fragmented distribution pattern in China

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2024.
Most plant phylogeographic studies in China have focused on the importance of genetic divergence and where should the shelter be located. Little attention has been paid to range expansion and recolonization routes in this region. Our study reveals repeated range expansions and inter/postglacial recolonization routes on the fragmented distribution ...
