Assessing contributions of deterministic versus stochastic processes to local species assembly: A field experiment with annual plant‐dominated communities in gypsum systems

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 3, March 2026.
In this study, we experimentally show that stochasticity can play prominent roles in driving local species assembly in annual plant‐dominated communities of semiarid gypsum ecosystems. Drylands are traditionally viewed as restrictive environments that impose strong deterministic filtering effects, but neutral events can also contribute decisively to ...

Toward a global repository of insect traits (GRIT)

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 2, Page 253-267, March 2026.
Biodiversity loss is accelerating, yet insect conservation is hindered by the absence of a centralised, comprehensive trait database. We propose the GRIT, a FAIR, open‐access platform uniting datasets and collaborators worldwide. GRIT will harness advanced computational tools for trait acquisition and imputation, enabling large‐scale ecological ...

Deciphering How Olive Volatiles and Fatty Acids Shape Bactrocera oleae (Rosii) Oviposition Preference Using Multivariate Regression Models

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 2, Page 254-264, March 2026.
ABSTRACT The olive fly (Bactrocera oleae (Rossi)), the major pest of olives, primarily recognises visual, olfactory, acoustic, gustatory and tactile signals that regulate its behavioural activity, courtship and reproductive success, as well as the search for ideal conditions for its offspring.

Toward Energy-Efficient High-Performance Organizations of the Memory Hierarchy in Chip-Multiprocessors Architectures

Journal of Computer Science and Technology, 2006
Chip-multiprocessor systems or CMPs have emerged as a high-perfomance organization for the increasing number of transistors available on a chip, and are projected to dominate the market of server and desktop computers.

Identification of a novel link connecting indole‐3‐acetamide with abscisic acid biosynthesis and signaling

New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 5, Page 2452-2466, March 2026.
Summary Plants orchestrate their developmental processes and responses to environmental stimuli through a sophisticated network of small signaling molecules, termed phytohormones. Among these, auxins are recognized for their role in promoting plant growth.

Testing Accuracy of Long-Range Ultrasonic Sensors for Olive Tree Canopy Measurements

Sensors, 2015
Ultrasonic sensors are often used to adjust spray volume by allowing the calculation of the crown volume of tree crops. The special conditions of the olive tree require the use of long-range sensors, which are less accurate and faster than the most ...

One-pot synthesis and characterization of a BSA-Cu2S/CuS quantum dots drug delivery system based on biuret’s reaction

Materials Research Express
Research on chalcogenide-based quantum dots (QDs) has advanced significantly over recent decades, largely due to their excellent optical properties, particularly photoluminescence, and relatively low toxicity.

COMPARACIÓN DE LA EFECTIVIDAD DE ARCILLAS CAOLINÍTICAS CON ESTRUCTURA ORDENADA Y DESORDENADA PARA LA REMOCIÓN DE Cd(II)

Avances en Ciencias e Ingeniería, 2020
The presence of cadmiun in the environment has increased in the last century by anthropogenic factors. Clay minerals have proven to be useful as adsorbents of, among other substances, heavy metals; due to the high availability and low cost of the process.
