Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi Mitigate Drought‐Enhanced Herbivore Performance in Maize
Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Drought events are becoming increasingly frequent and intense, posing major challenges to crop productivity. Beyond direct water stress, drought can indirectly affect plants by enhancing herbivore performance. While arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) have been proposed to alleviate drought stress and to enhance plant resistance to herbivory ...

Physiological Entomology, EarlyView.Survival of Gryllus bimaculatus nymphs was highest on protein‐biased diets (P:C = 3.86:1), whereas growth and body mass were maximized on slightly carbohydrate‐biased diets (P:C = 1:1.47). Maximum body protein and lipid contents were attained at P:C ratios of 1.14:1 and 1:5.56, respectively. When given a food choice, G. bimaculatus nymphs self‐selected

Postembryonic development of the predatory strike mechanics in a praying mantis (Insecta: Mantodea)
Physiological Entomology, EarlyView.Praying mantis forelegs capture prey using specific kinematic and kinetic traits that change in size and morphology during postembryonic growth and sexual dimorphism influences these dynamics. Strike forces grow hyperallometrically with body weight; larger mantises show longer strike durations, slower joint angular velocities and increased tibia ...

Renaissance Studies, EarlyView.Abstract This essay demonstrates how a gender‐informed, more‐than‐human lens can provide new ways to analyse how the role of a queen in forestry management was conceptualised by sixteenth‐century professional men. It explores these ideas as they are presented in a work published by Guillaume Martin, Lieutenant General of the forests and waterways of ...
