Dose–response modelling uncovers compound‐specific inhibitory effects of host defence volatiles on mountain pine beetle fungal symbionts

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Host defence volatiles inhibit mountain pine beetle fungal symbionts in a compound‐ and enantiomer‐specific manner, with distinct dose–response profiles that reveal the multitarget chemical defences of beetle–fungi symbiotes. Abstract BACKGROUND The mountain pine beetle relies on symbiotic fungi to overcome host tree defences, yet these fungi must ...

Transport of Amino Acids via Xylem and Phloem in Detached Wheat Shoots

open access: yes, 1991
In maturing wheat ears the xylem predominantly feeds the glumes, while the phloem is directed to the developing grains. A transfer of amino acids and rubidium from the xylem lo the phloem was observed in the peduncle.

Influence of natural fibers on physical, mechanical, and fire‐resistant properties of microconcrete

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract This study examined the influence of natural fibers on the physical, mechanical, and fire‐resistant properties of microconcrete, in comparison with conventional polypropylene fibers used in cement composites. The fibers were characterized by FTIR and TGA/DSC to assess their composition and thermal stability, and FTIR was also performed after ...

Leaf C:P ratio as a universal indicator of photosynthesis in subtropical woody species: Stoichiometric thresholds and metabolic trade‐offs

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The stoichiometric ratios of carbon (C), nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) serve as important indicators for assessing nutrient balance in forest ecosystems, but their relationships with photosynthetic dynamics require deeper characterization.

Complex multitrophic species interactions and fitness costs: Intricate consequences of jasmonate and salicylate induced plant defences

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study reveals how long‐term activation of jasmonic and salicylic acid signalling reshapes arthropod communities and plant fitness across seasons. By showing that induced defences generate contrasting outcomes and cascading trade‐offs across trophic levels, it challenges the assumption that induced resistance is uniformly beneficial in natural ...

Value in the ‘valley of the shadow of death’—When the user is no longer the value arbiter

open access: yesAustralian Journal of Public Administration, EarlyView.
Abstract The Public Service Logic (PSL) user‐centric perspective on value creation has been one of its main critiques. Scholars argue that for some real‐world applications, such as emergency services, where users cannot engage with service offerings, the PSL must consider the roles of other service actors beyond just facilitators.
