Sanitation felling against the European spruce bark beetle: A matter of intensity and forest type Tagli fitosanitari contro il bostrico tipografo: una questione di intensità e tipologia forestale

open access: yesAgricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
We assess the effect of sanitation felling performed in 2022 in North‐Eastern Italy on bark beetle damage that occurred in 2023 across eight spruce forest types, as evaluated using multispectral satellite imagery. Bark beetle damage was reduced only at very high or very low sanitation felling rates.

Refuge by day, forage by night: Diel activity of vine weevil as characterised by smart monitoring

open access: yesAgricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Vine weevil activity was monitored using a Smart trap, which recorded diel refuge‐seeking behaviour. Increasing light intensity triggered refuge seeking behaviour, while lower light intensity induced forage seeking activity. Understanding vine weevil diel activity can enhance early detection, which can improve the effectiveness of integrated pest ...

Temperature interacts with jack pine host defences to influence the growth of mountain pine beetle‐associated fungi

open access: yesAgricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Optimal growing temperatures varied with mountain pine beetle‐associated fungal species. There was only a marginal impact of temperature on the response of fungi to defensive monoterpenes of novel host pine. Interspecific facilitation occurred for Leptiographuim longiclavatum when grown in Ophiostoma montium‐induced treatments at optimal temperatures ...

RGS proteins and G protein signalling [PDF]

open access: yes
The work within this thesis is concerned with the creation of a temperature-sensitive Schizosaccharomyces pombe marker protein, and the regulation of the pheromone communication system of Sz. pombe reporter strains by RGS proteins.

The benefits of multidisciplinary collaboration in the successful management of two complex feline cases

open access: yesAustralian Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Despite a frequent misconception that behavioural concerns are diagnoses of exclusion, medical conditions and behavioural disorders are frequently inter‐related. In human medicine, the ‘multidisciplinary team’ approach (MDTA) is considered the most efficacious way of managing patients with complex and chronic health conditions.

Examining the Psychometric Properties of the Ultra‐Short Version of the Oral Health Impact Profile in Australia

open access: yesCommunity Dentistry and Oral Epidemiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives The Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP) is the most widely used instrument to measure the subjective impact of oral conditions. This study reports the shortening and psychometric evaluation of an ultra‐short version (OHIP‐7A) from the OHIP‐14 in a large national Australian population.

Further Evidence That Female Anoplophora glabripennis (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) Utilizes Photo-Degradation to Produce Volatiles That Are Attractive to Adult Males

open access: yesInsects
The Asian longhorned beetle, Anoplophora glabripennis (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae: Lamiinae), is a serious pest of over 43 species of hardwood trees in North America, China and Europe.

Controllable Intrinsic Surface Pattern Generation Using Slime Mold Simulations

open access: yesComputer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Surface‐based pattern simulations have proven valuable for texture design and scientific visualization, but existing methods face several limitations. Most simulations either target a narrow range of pattern types (e.g. spots, branching) or support a broad range of patterns at the cost of time‐consuming parameter tuning.

Mutational and computational characterization of transmembrane domains in the fungal G protein-coupled pheromone receptors STE2 and Mam2 [PDF]

open access: yes
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) comprise the largest family of cell-surface receptors involved in sensing a multitude of ligands and are consequently attractive pharmacological targets.

Deposition and longevity of oviposition-deterring pheromone in the cabbage seed weevil

open access: yes, 1991
The cabbage seed weevil (Ceutorhynchus assimilis Payk.) lays eggs singly into pods of oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.) through punctures bored with the mouthparts, preferring pods not recently used for oviposition.
