Ecophysiology of seed germination in riparian trees and implications for restoration and conservation

Plant Species Biology, EarlyView.
The germination responses of seeds of the four species to temperature, light, and cold stratification reveal the mechanism that delays germination from autumn/early winter (time of seed dispersal) until spring, when conditions are favorable for seedling establishment.

Portable Fourier‐transform infrared spectroscopy and machine learning for sex determination in third instar Chrysomya rufifacies larvae

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Forensic entomology is crucial in medicolegal investigations, utilizing insects—primarily flies—to estimate a supplemental post‐mortem interval based on their development at the (death) scene. This estimation can be influenced by extrinsic factors like temperature and humidity, as well as intrinsic factors such as species and sex.

Phytoplasma infection renders cranberries more susceptible to above‐ and belowground insect herbivores

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Schematic illustration summarizing the effects of phytoplasma infection on the performance and feeding behavior of above‐ and belowground insect herbivores as well as its effects on shoot and root traits in cranberries. The “+” symbol indicates a positive effect, while the “–” symbol indicates a negative effect. Abstract While phytoplasma infections in

An integrative strategy used by the aphid Uroleucon formosanum to counter host sesquiterpene lactone defense: Insights from combined genomic and transcriptomic analysis

Insect Science, EarlyView.
We report the first high‐quality chromosome‐level genome assembly for the aphid Uroleucon formosanum, a serious pest that infests lettuce in eastern Asia. A combination of comparative genomic analyses and RNA‐seq transcriptome profiling suggests that U. formosanum employs integrative mechanisms to cope with host plant‐derived sesquiterpene lactone (STL)

Intraspecific variation of thermal tolerance along elevational gradients: the case of a widespread diving beetle (Coleoptera: Dytiscidae)

Insect Science, EarlyView.
• We explored intraspecific variation of thermal tolerance among populations of a widespread diving beetle across an elevational gradient.• We found no evidence of local adaption of thermal tolerance along the elevational gradient and limited plasticity of thermal limits.• Our results suggest thermal niche conservatism as a result of gene flow or ...
