Patterns and Mechanisms of Niche Partitioning Between Related Parasitoids (Hymenoptera) Sharing the Same Host Species

Insects
Related species of parasitoid Hymenoptera often coexist on a certain host, but many details of interactions between these organisms remain unclear. The present review summarizes the main existing concepts and facts and suggests principal patterns and ...

The functional role of ants in no‐till cropping systems

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Ants provide valuable ecosystem services in tropical agriculture, but their roles in temperate row crops remain poorly understood. Conservation practices such as no‐till farming and cover cropping support ant communities that contribute to pest suppression, weed seed removal, and soil quality, which can increase crop productivity.

Long‐term impact of exposure to Royal Guard, a pyriproxyfen‐based bed net, on pyrethroid‐resistant malaria vectors from Cameroon using DNA‐based metabolic resistance markers

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 4, Page 2165-2180, April 2025.
We used recently detected P450 DNA‐based markers of pyrethroid resistance in both Anopheles funestus and Anopheles gambiae to demonstrate that although pyrethroid‐resistant mosquitoes have higher ability to survive and live longer after exposure to Royal Guard, this net significantly affects their lifespan, blood feeding ability and interestingly ...

ANTIBIOSIS AND ANTIXENOSIS IN TOMATO GENOTYPES AGAINST Helicoverpa armigera HUBNER

Tropical and Subtropical Agroecosystems
Background. Farmers rely on the use of synthetic insecticides in managing Helicoverpa armigera, hole-boring insect pest on tomato, but they are detrimental to human health.

Intercropping mitigates incidence of the oilseed rape insect pest complex

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Intercropping reduces the incidence of the oilseed rape insect pest complex with a significant impact of the direct visual and physical disruption provided by the companion plant. Abstract BACKGROUND Oilseed rape (OSR, Brassica napus) is a major crop requiring numerous phytosanitary treatments.

Natural antibacterial silk produced by feeding silkworms with human hair derived carbon dots

Responsive Materials, EarlyView.
Blue‐fluorescent and antibacterial carbon dots, prepared from Crinis Carbonisatus (a traditional Chinese medicine made by calcinating human hair), are fed to silkworms to produce multifunctional silk, which retains its inherent mechanical properties, exhibits blue fluorescence, possesses antibacterial activity, and promotes the wound healing of rats as

Heterogeneity in the projections and excitability of tyraminergic/octopaminergic neurons that innervate the Drosophila reproductive tract

Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience
Aminergic nuclei in mammals are generally composed of relatively small numbers of cells with broad projection patterns. Despite the gross similarity of many individual neurons, recent transcriptomic, anatomic and behavioral studies suggest previously ...

From Algorithms to Ecosystems: Conceptual Links Between Artificial Intelligence and Biological Control

Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The growing convergence between artificial intelligence (AI) and biological sciences has revealed important conceptual parallels between computational systems and ecological processes. This study proposes a systems‐based framework to move beyond purely metaphorical comparisons by distinguishing three analytical levels of correspondence between

Diving Deeper Into Mechanisms of Acrylamide‐Induced Toxicity: RNA Sequencing Reveals Transcriptomic Alteration and Retrotransposon Expression in Drosophila melanogaster

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Given the inevitability of human and animal exposure to acrylamide, there is increasing concern regarding its potential health risks. While a number of molecular mechanisms have been proposed, the complexity of acrylamide toxicological pathways and interactions remains incompletely characterized.
