The invasive pest Drosophila suzukii uses trans-generational medication to resist parasitoid attack

Scientific Reports, 2017
Animal medication is a behavioral strategy to resist enemies based on the use of substances from the environment. While it has been observed in several animals, whether invasive species can use medication to resist new enemies during its expansion is ...

Advances in Double‐Stranded DNA Targeting Technologies

Exploration, EarlyView.
Double‐stranded DNA (dsDNA) plays a crucial role in genetic information storage and disease management, but its inherent stability limits access to internal bases. To overcome this challenge, various high‐specificity molecular targeting technologies have been developed to destabilize the DNA structure.

Biological control of an invasive pest eases pressures on global commodity markets

Environmental Research Letters, 2018
In an increasingly globalized world, invasive species cause major human, financial, and environmental costs. A cosmopolitan pest of great concern is the cassava mealybug Phenacoccus manihoti (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae), which invaded Asia in 2008 ...

Climate Change Has Already Reshaped North American Forest Pest Dynamics: Insights From Multidecadal Process‐Based Modelling

Global Change Biology Communications, EarlyView.
Climate change has rapidly expanded and shifted suitable climate conditions for eight major forest pests across North America, especially toward northern and higher elevation areas. Host exposure and overlap among pests are increasing, raising ecological and economic risks, and signaling accelerating future impacts under continued warming.

Current status of the invasive species, Orosanga Japonica (Melichar, 1898) (Hemiptera: Ricaniidae) under natural enemy pressure in Türkiye

Egyptian Journal of Biological Pest Control
Background Invasive species are alien ones that are not a significant pest in their origin under the pressure of natural enemies; however, they cause economic damages by increasing their population in the introduced region.

From Reactive to Proactive Volatility Modeling With Hemisphere Neural Networks

Journal of Applied Econometrics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We revisit maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) for macroeconomic density forecasting through a novel neural network architecture with dedicated mean and variance hemispheres. Our architecture features several key ingredients making MLE work in this context.

Hemlock loss due to the hemlock woolly adelgid does not affect ecosystem C storage but alters its distribution

Ecosphere, 2013
The 1950s introduction of the hemlock woolly adelgid (HWA, Adelges tsugae) has caused extensive hemlock (Tsuga canadensis) mortality with little understanding of the long‐term consequences for forest carbon (C) storage.

Tree Diversity Limits the Impact of an Invasive Forest Pest

PLOS ONE, 2015
The impact of invasive herbivore species may be lower in more diverse plant communities due to mechanisms of associational resistance. According to the "resource concentration hypothesis" the amount and accessibility of host plants is reduced in diverse plant communities, thus limiting the exploitation of resources by consumers.

Non‐Subtractive Arterial Spin Labeling‐Based (NSASL) Renal Magnetic Resonance Angiography (MRA): Development and Clinical Feasibility Evaluation

Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Non‐contrast renal MR angiography (MRA) is valuable for patients who cannot receive contrast agents or when avoiding radiation is desired. However, the conventional inflow inversion recovery (IFIR) method is limited by incomplete background suppression, venous contamination, and motion sensitivity.
