Drought Stress Promotes Aphis gossypii Growth but Decreases Host Attractiveness in Melon

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Drought stress is a significant environmental factor that affects plant physiology and growth, leading to considerable detrimental effects on crop productivity. Cucumis melo, which is widely cultivated for its economic value, is particularly susceptible to water scarcity.

Economic Dependencies and Nationalist Divergences: Public Versus Private Sector Employment and Beyond in Corsican Separatist Nationalism

Nations and Nationalism, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Separatist nationalism often persists in divided minority regions where internal factions struggle to agree on governance models, perpetuating conflict and political tension. This article examines the key structural and situational factors driving these divisions in Corsica, focusing on economic dependencies that shape divergent approaches to ...

Flight Testing of Novel Compliant Spines for Passive Wing Morphing on Ornithopters [PDF]

, 2013
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are proliferating in both the civil and military markets. Flapping wing UAVs, or ornithopters, have the potential to combine the agility and maneuverability of rotary wing aircraft with excellent performance in low ...

Learned Family on the Educator‐Kibbutzim—Knowledge, Kinship, and Social Transformation as Historical Legacy

Anthropology &Education Quarterly, Volume 57, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT This article explores how educator‐kibbutzim recruit socialist‐Zionist learning traditions to construct new forms of kinship. Bringing communities of practice theory to new kinship studies, we expand on the role of knowledge in bridging the social/biological.

Disparity of turbinal bones in placental mammals

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 4, Page 749-777, April 2026.
Abstract Turbinals are key bony elements of the mammalian nasal cavity, involved in heat and moisture conservation as well as olfaction. While turbinals are well known in some groups, their diversity is poorly understood at the scale of placental mammals, which span 21 orders.

Aircraft Wing Morphing Using Auxetic Structures

International Journal of Innovative Science and Research Technology (IJISRT)
Cellular materials exhibit two key properties: structures and mechanisms. This allows for the design of structures using cellular materials while effectively controlling both stiffness and flexibility, based on the connectivity of the struts. This study aims to explore the in-plane flexible properties of cellular materials dominated by bending under ...

Genomics of Caddisfly (Insecta: Trichoptera) Species Associated With Terrestrial Habitats

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
Species of Limnephilidae (tube case making caddisflies (Trichoptera)) occur across a wide range of habitats, from cold headwater streams to stagnant pools to even terrestrial environments. We present high‐quality genome assemblies and annotations from two species that are associated with terrestrial environments: Enoicyla pusilla (Burmeister, 1839) and

First Report of Ophiostoma clavatum and Fusarium verticillioides Associated With Ips acuminatus‐Infested Scots Pine in Western Ukraine

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 2, April 2026.
This study provides the first record of Ophiostoma clavatum associated with Ips acuminatus in Ukraine, and the first evidence of Fusarium verticillioides coexisting with ophiostomatoid fungi in infested Scots pines. This fungal association may contribute to the decline of Scots pine stands.

Is bee‐avoidance by bird‐pollinated flowers driven by nectar robbing in Erica?

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 4, Page 1046-1060, April 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Nectar robbing (consuming nectar from a perforated flower without pollinating) generally negatively affects plant fecundity, and plants exhibit multiple mechanisms in defence.
