Quantitative assessment of the probability of bluetongue virus overwintering by horizontal transmission: application to Germany

Veterinary Research, 2011
Even though bluetongue virus (BTV) transmission is apparently interrupted during winter, bluetongue outbreaks often reappear in the next season (overwintering).

Effects of Biochar on Freezing Temperature and Unfrozen Water Content in Pb‐Contaminated Seasonally Frozen Soils: Implications for Mitigating Land Degradation

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Freeze–thaw processes are important drivers of land degradation in cold regions, and soil freezing temperature and unfrozen water content are key parameters for characterizing soil hydrothermal conditions and water phase transitions during freezing.

The ecological role of overwintering fish in the food web of the Culbin Sands lagoon ecosystem, NE Scotland: Identifying major trophic links and testing effects of the fish Pomatoschistus microps (Pallas) on benthic invertebrates

Scientia Marina, 2007
The Culbin Sands lagoon ecosystem in NE Scotland was studied during a three-year period (1994-1996) to identify the major trophic links from benthic invertebrates to epibenthic predators, and to assess impacts of overwintering fish on their prey ...

Epigenetic Modifications May Regulate the Activation of the Hypopharyngeal Gland of Honeybees (Apis Mellifera) During Winter

Frontiers in Genetics, 2020
DNA methylation is an epigenetic modification primarily responsible for individual phenotypic variation. This modification has been reported to play an important role in caste, brain plasticity, and body development in honeybees (Apis mellifera).

The integrated reproductive response: the scope for seasonal phenotypic flexibility shapes reproductive outcomes across fish populations

Oikos, EarlyView.
Across north‐temperate environments, rapid environmental change has disrupted the seasonal life histories of resident organisms, decreasing the reliability of environmental cues. Flexible responses capable of buffering the effects of unpredictable environmental variation to defend performance and reproductive outcomes may thus be key to species‐ and ...

Overwintering fires in eastern Siberia

, 2021
Overwintering fires are a historically rare phenomenon but may become more prevalent in the warming boreal region. Here, we quantified the proportion of overwintering fires and their burned area in Yakutia, eastern Siberia, compared to the burned area ...

Broad support for lethal control of wild deer among subscribers of nature organisations in England and Wales

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Wild deer populations are increasing across the northern hemisphere, posing challenges to the environment and people. Deer impacts can be managed using lethal and non‐lethal practices, but research suggests lethal control receives mixed support.

Combined effects of canola plant density and insecticide management strategies on flea beetle abundance, canola defoliation, and yield across the Canadian prairies

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Increasing canola plant density reduced flea beetle abundance per plant and increased yield, independent of region or insecticide use, highlighting its potential as a component of integrated pest management. Abstract The crucifer flea beetle, Phyllotreta cruciferae (Goeze), and the striped flea beetle, Phyllotreta striolata (Fabricius) (Coleoptera ...

Transcriptomic and Metabolomic Research on the Germination Process of Panax ginseng Overwintering Buds

Plants
Ginseng (Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer) is a perennial plant with a long dormancy period. While some researchers employ gibberellin and other substances to stimulate premature germination, this method is limited to laboratory settings and cannot be applied ...

Synthetic polymer nanocarrier enhances dsRNA stability but not RNAi efficacy in Brassicogethes aeneus

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Experimental setup for dsRNA feeding in Brassicogethes aeneus to evaluate the effect of a synthetic polymer nanocarrier on RNAi efficiency. The experiment assessed whether the nanocarrier enhances RNAi after oral dsRNA delivery. (a) Stability of dsRNA–nanocarrier complexes was tested in simulated gut conditions. (b) Gene expression of αCOP and dre4 was
