Pollinator Dependency and Regional Climate Affect Crop Yield Development Under Climate Change

Ecology and Evolution
Climate change is severely impacting insects and flowering plants in different ways. While effects on plants, pollinators and their interactions have been amply discussed, subsequent impacts on pollination are rarely assessed.

30 years of research on insect galls in Brazil: a scientometric review

Papéis Avulsos de Zoologia, 2018
The first systematic studies on insect galls in Brazil date to the early 20th century, after which research on insect galls remained dormant in the country, with interest not reviving until the 1980s.

Biodegradable Conductors for Implantable and Wearable Transient Bioelectronics

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Biodegradable conductors are essential building blocks for transient bioelectronics, enabling temporary sensing, stimulation, and energy transfer while eliminating the need for device retrieval. This review summarizes biodegradable metals, conducting polymers, ionic conductors, and conductive composites, highlighting degradation mechanisms, material ...

Constructing more informative plant-pollinator networks : visitation and pollen deposition networks in a heathland plant community [PDF]

, 2015
Interaction networks are widely used as tools to understand plant–pollinator communities, and to examine potential threats to plant diversity and food security if the ecosystem service provided by pollinating animals declines.

Ionic Gating of Liquid‐Crystal‐Like Pteridine Assemblies Enables Tunable Light Scattering

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Tunable optical properties emerge through developmentally regulated ionic gating, which transforms disordered, ultraviolet (UV)‐absorbing organelles into concentrically ordered, liquid‐crystal‐like light scatterers. By integrating analyses of pteridine composition, potassium‐dependent assembly, hierarchical ultrastructure, and optical behavior, the ...

Plant-mediated effects in the Brassicaceae on the performance and behaviour of parasitoids [PDF]

, 2008
Direct and indirect plant defences are well studied, particularly in the Brassicaceae. Glucosinolates (GS) are secondary plant compounds characteristic in this plant family. They play an important role in defence against herbivores and pathogens.

Radiative Thermal Management for Extreme Environments: Mechanisms and Design Strategies

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
In this review, we discuss the fundamental mechanisms of radiative cooling and solar heating, material and structural design strategies, hybrid approaches integrating additional heat transfer pathways, and durability‐oriented designs addressing environmental stresses.

Plant signalling and induced defence in insect attack

, 2000
Plants can produce compounds which act as semiochemicals, that is, signals modifying the development or behaviour of other organisms without having direct physiological activity.

Fungal entomopathogens: new insights on their ecology [PDF]

, 2009
An important mechanism for insect pest control should be the use of fungal entomopathogens. Even though these organisms have been studied for more than 100 y, their effective use in the field remains elusive.
