Therapeutic Repair of Sperm Quality Decline Caused by Polytetrafluoroethylene

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 38, October 13, 2025.
Exposure to PTFE (teflon), a commonly used microplastic in non‐stick cookware, significantly reduces sperm quality in both humans and mice. Specifically, PTFE induces the disruption of sperm cytoskeleton and F‐actin assembly through targeting SKAP2 in haploid spermatid.

Top‐Down Coercive Mechanisms and the Major Transitions in Evolution

open access: yesBioEssays, Volume 47, Issue 10, October 2025.
For the Major Transitions in Evolution we present two frameworks for the process of group formation from independent entities. 1) The received view, which focuses on cooperative bottom‐up mechanisms. 2) Our top‐down coercion framework, which considers both coercive and cooperative mechanisms.

Sapsucker Wells as a Keystone Nutritional Resource: Evaluating Methods for Detection of Secondary Sap Consumers

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.
We used direct observations, camera traps, and environmental DNA (eDNA) to identify secondary consumers of sap from wells created by red‐naped (S. nuchalis) and Williamson's (S. thyroideus) sapsuckers among three groups of shrubs and trees in south‐central Colorado, USA.

Exploring the effectiveness of methyl salicylate and attractive traps in dispersing and recapturing glasshouse whiteflies: advances in push–pull strategy

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 10, Page 6620-6629, October 2025.
Methyl salicylate causes dispersal of whiteflies from tomato plants (push), and enhances the catching efficacy of an attractive green‐light‐emitting diode (LED)‐enhanced yellow sticky trap (pull), showing potential for a novel push–pull system. Abstract BACKGROUND Methyl salicylate (MeSa), a plant defense elicitor and whitefly deterrent, has been shown

Side effects of pesticides used in organic and conventional tomato crops on Dolichogenidea gelechiidivoris, a parasitoid of Tuta absoluta

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 10, Page 6445-6454, October 2025.
This study reveals strong variability in the effects of eight tomato integrated pest management‐compatible pesticides on Dolichogenidea gelechiidivoris, identifying harmful compounds such as spinosad and more selective ones such as sulfur and spiromesifen, depending on the exposure route.

Honest signalling in predator–prey interactions: Testing the resource allocation hypothesis

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 10, Page 2833-2848, October 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Warning signals are honest if they reliably deliver information about prey unprofitability to predators. One potential mechanism that may create and maintain a positive relationship between the strength of signals and defence is the resource allocation between these ...
