Requirement of group I lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase for turnover of chitinous cuticle during moulting in two forest pest beetles, Monochamus alternatus and Psacothea hilaris. [PDF]

Insect Mol Biol
Group I LPMO15‐1 cDNAs from two economically important forest insect pests, M. alternatus and P. hilaris, were cloned. MaLPMO15‐1 and PhLPMO15‐1 show a similar pattern of expression during late stages of development. RNAi for LPMO15‐1 causes failure of adult eclosion in both M. alternatus and P. hilaris.

Bio-Inspired Strategy for Radiation-Based Thermal Management and Utilization. [PDF]

Adv Sci (Weinh)
Biological organisms have evolved remarkable strategies to manage and exploit thermal radiation. This review explores bio‐inspired systems that mimic these adaptations—such as radiative cooling, thermal regulation, thermal insulation, water harvesting, infrared camouflage, and infrared detection—and highlights their application in thermal management ...

Biomimetic Pyramid Structure Film for Enhancing Building Radiative Cooling. [PDF]

Adv Sci (Weinh)
Taking inspirations from the special surface structure of natural heat‐resistant organisms, a biomimetic micro‐pyramid‐shaped radiative cooling film is fabricated by integrating high dielectric constant materials with polymers. The resulting film boasts a solar reflectance of 97.3%, an exceeding 98% infrared light emission within the atmospheric window

Commodity risk assessment of oak and walnut logs from the US. [PDF]

EFSA J
Abstract The European Commission submitted to the EFSA Panel on Plant Health a Dossier from the United States proposing the use of a vacuum–steam–heat treatment as a stand‐alone phytosanitary measure to mitigate the risk of entry of Bretziella fagacearum, Geosmithia morbida and its vector Pityophthorus juglandis (thousand cankers disease complex) into ...

Toward the Scaling up of Daytime Radiative Coolers: A Review

Advanced Optical Materials, Volume 11, Issue 21, November 6, 2023., 2023
The state‐of‐the‐art of Daytime Radiative Coolers (DRCs) toward the mitigation of Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect and the improvement of indoor/outdoor comfort is reported in this review. It also proposes a feedback‐loop scheme that aims to establish design and implementation protocols for scaling‐up DRC materials into the built environment to achieve ...

Exploring the range expansion of the yellow‐spotted longhorn beetle Psacothea hilaris hilaris in northern Italy

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 25, Issue 4, Page 511-521, November 2023., 2023
We investigate the range expansion of Psacothea hilaris hilaris over 16 years in Italy. the pest has been ascertained on an area estimated at more than 1,750 km2. After an initial phase of settlement, the insect is now spreading southward. Adults has been found in activity on vegetation from April to the beginning of December, with a peak of presence ...

Risk Status of Australia's Alpine and Subalpine Ecosystems

Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Alpine and subalpine ecosystems are threatened by changing climate and disturbance regimes because they exist under extreme geographical and climatic conditions. Understanding the threats to and risk status of alpine and subalpine ecosystems is vital to guide their conservation, inform monitoring programs and identify the relative impact of ...

Engineering New‐to‐Nature Biological Pathways for β,γ‐Alkanediol Synthesis

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 23, 23 April 2026.
β,γ‐Alkanediols are value‐added chemicals to be used as functional solvents, biofuels, and cosmetic components. This work demonstrates a carboligation‐mediated approach for synthesis of linear chain β,γ‐alkanediols in Escherichia coli, namely, hexane‐2,3‐diol (2,3‐HDO) and pentane‐2,3‐diol (2,3‐PDO). The engineered E. coli cells produce 152.2 mm (17.98

Sex‐Specific Control and Incomplete Matings: Sperm Removal Behavior in a Bush Cricket Species

Ethology, Volume 132, Issue 3, Page 194-203, March 2026.
In this study, we investigated which sex influences the duration of sperm removal behaviour (SRB) in the ornate bush cricket, Metaplastes ornatus. Female traits showed a weak effect on SRB duration, and lighter females mated more frequently. Frequent unsuccessful mating terminations shortened SRB indicating high level of sexual conflict.
