Is Isaria fumosorosea selective to Trichogramma pretiosum (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae)?
Entomopathogenic fungi and the egg parasitoid Trichogramma pretiosum Riley (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae) might be used together in biological control. However, the effects of these fungi on T. pretiosum are not known.

Two Worlds on a Stone: Arctic Desert Hypoliths and Epiliths Show Spatial Niche Differentiation
ABSTRACT In Arctic polar deserts, rocks can be extensively colonized by phototrophic hypolithic communities that exploit periglacial sorting processes to grow beneath opaque rocks. These communities are distinguished by green bands that are distinctly and abruptly separated from the black‐pigmented communities on the rock surface (epiliths).

Paecilosetin Derivatives as Potent Antimicrobial Agents from Isaria farinosa
Fifty-seven entomopathogenic microorganisms were screened against human pathogens and subjected to mass spectrometry molecular networking based dereplication. Isaria farinosa BSNB-1250, shown to produce potentially novel biologically active metabolites, was grown on a large scale on potato dextrose agar, and paecilosetin (1) and five new analogues (2-6)

Ice‐Nucleating Particles Are Emitted by Raindrop Impact
Abstract Ice‐nucleating particles (INPs) play a key role in ice formation and cloud microphysics and thus significantly impact the water cycle and the climate. However, our understanding of atmospheric INPs, particularly their sources, emissions, and spatiotemporal variability, is incomplete. While the enhancement of atmospheric INP concentrations with

Cicadidae Periostracum water extract (CPE) pretreatment improved radiation‐induced testicular damage, including apoptosis and decrease of epididymis weight, epithelial height, sperm motility, and sperm number. Two dimeric N‐acetyl dopamine derivatives were isolated from CPE, and the antioxidative activity of CPE was confirmed in radical scavenging and ...

Inoculation and conservation of the biocontrol agent European earwig in Washington pear orchards
European earwigs (Forficula auricularia sensu lato) (Dermaptera: Forficulidae) were collected in cardboard shelters and released in pear (Pyrus communis, Rosaceae) orchards for biocontrol of pear psylla (Cacopsylla pyricola; Hemiptera: Psyllidae). Earwigs failed to establish in commercial orchards using broad‐spectrum insecticides but increased in ...

Further Screening of Entomopathogenic Fungi and Nematodes as Control Agents for Drosophila suzukii
Drosophila suzukii populations remain low in the UK. To date, there have been no reports of widespread damage. Previous research demonstrated that various species of entomopathogenic fungi and nematodes could potentially suppress D.

Recent advancements in aquaponics with special emphasis on its sustainability
Abstract An aquaponic system which is an integration of hydroponics with aquaculture is sustainable, ecologically friendly, and uses non‐renewable resources with very high efficacy. The increasing trend in aquaponics research demonstrates a growing recognition of its potential to address critical global issues such as food security, water conservation,

Nutrient‐limited medium in combination with avoiding of repeated subculturing during long‐term preservation of Morchella importuna culture was found to be the most beneficial method for maintaining viability and fruiting capability. Metabolic alterations related to sulfur‐containing amino‐acid biosynthesis, DNA repair, and cellular structural ...
