Evaluating potential altered harvest and predator management strategies to increase white‐tailed deer population growth in the Southeastern United States

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
In some portions of the southeastern United States where white‐tailed deer populations are declining, alteration of adult female harvest levels and the availability of alternative foods for coyotes can help increase population growth. Abstract White‐tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) populations in the southeastern United States have declined from ...

Synergistic effect of ZIF‐8 nanomaterial on 2,4‐D efficacy by regulating auxin synthesis pathway in barnyard grass [Echinochloa crus‐galli (L.) P. Beauv.]

New Plant Protection, EarlyView.
ZIF‐8 exhibited a synergistic effect on 2,4‐D efficacy against barnyard grass by regulation of auxin synthesis pathway, as well as the synergistic regulation of metabolic pathways involving 2,4‐D and ZIF‐8. Furthermore, the use of ZIF‐8 as a carrier could improve the safety of 2,4‐D for wheat.

Losers and winners: responses of grassland arthropods to land‐use components

Oikos, EarlyView.
Intensified land‐use in grasslands reduces biodiversity, particularly affecting arthropod populations. However, responses of individual species vary depending on their ecological traits and habitat requirements. Some species may tolerate or even benefit from intensive land‐use, while others, particularly specialists or those with narrow niches, are ...
