A Bocage Landscape Restricts the Gene Flow of Pest Vole Populations

Life, 2022
The population dynamics of most animal species inhabiting agro-ecosystems may be determined by landscape characteristics, with agricultural intensification and the reduction of natural habitats influencing dispersal and hence limiting gene flow ...

T2T Genome Assembly and Multi‐Omics Data Reveal Terrestrial Adaptation and Mucus Biosynthesis in Tropical Leatherleaf Slug (Laevicaulis alte)

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A gap‐free genome assembly and multi‐omics comparison of the terrestrial slug Laevichaulis alte with an aquatic relative reveal that expansion of the VEGF family orchestrates mucus production, lipid metabolism, and immune defense—highlighting key molecular innovations for conquering life on land.

A food web approach reveals the vulnerability of biocontrol services by birds and bats to landscape modification at regional scale

Scientific Reports, 2021
Pest control services provided by naturally occurring species (the so-called biocontrol services) are widely recognized to provide key incentives for biodiversity conservation.

Terahertz Channel Modeling, Estimation and Localization in RIS‐Assisted Systems

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
Reconfigurable intelligent surfaces have become a recent intensive research focus. Based on practical applications, channel strategies for RIS‐assisted terahertz wireless communication systems are categorized into three different types: channel modeling, channel estimation, and channel localization.

Comment favoriser la régulation biologique des insectes de l’échelle de la parcelle à celle du paysage agricole, pour aboutir à des stratégies de protection intégrée sur le colza d’hiver ?

Oléagineux, Corps gras, Lipides, 2012
Continuous increases in the use of synthetic fertilisers and pesticides in agro-ecosystems have led to an increase in crop production, but also to a simplification of landscape and a decline in biodiversity at the field, cropping system level. Changes at

In-Field Habitat Management to Optimize Pest Control of Novel Soil Communities in Agroecosystems

Insects, 2017
The challenge of managing agroecosystems on a landscape scale and the novel structure of soil communities in agroecosystems both provide reason to focus on in-field management practices, including cover crop adoption, reduced tillage, and judicial ...

Robust and Compatible Ferroelectric Memories with Polycrystalline TiO2 Channel for 3D Integration

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
Robust and monolithic 3D compatible ferroelectric memories are realized using the polycrystalline TiO2 channel‐based FeFET. The review covers physical mechanisms of the TiO2 channel FeFET, quantitative benchmarking, and advanced planar/vertical architectures for monolithic 3D integration based on HfO2‐TiO2 gate stack, offering a roadmap for reliable ...

Crop diversity and within field multi-species interactions mediate herbivore abundances in cotton fields

Biological Control
Insect herbivore abundances in agricultural fields partly depend on surrounding landscape compositional heterogeneity (e.g., landscape complexity). Landscape complexity can directly (e.g., dilution of host crops) and indirectly (promoting herbivore ...

Who is the culprit: Is pest infestation responsible for crop yield losses close to semi‐natural habitats?

Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Semi‐natural habitats (SNHs) are becoming increasingly scarce in modern agricultural landscapes. This may reduce natural ecosystem services such as pest control with its putatively positive effect on crop production.
