Control of two sucking insect pests, a whitefly (Bemisia tabaci) and a thrips (Frankliniella occidentalis), infesting hot peppers by spraying LDH‐formulated dsRNA

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
A vacuolar type ATPase subunit B (vATPase‐B) gene is identified and expressed in the midgut of Bemisia tabaci and Frankliniella occidentalis. The double‐stranded RNA (dsRNA) specific to vATPase‐B was expressed in hot peppers by virus‐induced gene silencing (VIGS) and killed both whitefly and thrips.

On‐Stage Degradation of Solar Cells Studied Using Capacitance Transient and Luminescence Spectroscopies

open access: yesphysica status solidi (a), EarlyView.
Light‐ and temperature‐induced degradation (LeTID) of Si‐based solar cells is studied using low‐temperature photo‐ and electroluminescence and deep‐level transient spectroscopy during the on‐stage degradation/regeneration process. Based on the obtained and previously reported data, LeTID reflects hydrogen dynamics between extended defects present in ...

Impacts of Habitat Management on Larvae of the Damselfly Coenagrion mercuriale (Coenagrionidae, Odonata)—A Laboratory Study

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Habitat management of small lotic waterbodies is essential to maintain flow and the quality of the habitats. For this purpose, aquatic plants are typically removed by authorities. This is done in a more or less disruptive manner, depending on the risk of interference with the bed.
