Flower and Pod Source Influence on Pea Weevil (Bruchus pisorum) Oviposition Capacity and Preference
Bruchus pisorum is an insect pest causing major damage to pea seeds worldwide. Control is difficult and limited resistance is available. In this work we studied the effects of pollen and pod source on insect fecundity and oviposition by comparing ...

Assessment of soil quality in agroecosystems based on soil fauna
Soil arthropods respond sensitively to land management practices and correlate with beneficial soil functions. The aim of this research was to determine soil quality using the QBS index in different types of crops and influence of soil variables (pH soil,

Interaction between Acyrthosiphon pisum and selenium-treated Pisum sativum
Biofortification of plants with selenium (Se) is one of the current trends in agriculture. This treatment enriches plants with this essential element for humans and animals, and also increases plant resistance to stress factors.

Continual decision‐making dynamics across biological organisms
ABSTRACT Decision‐making is a central function of adaptive behaviour in biological agents. However, strategies for adaptive decision‐making can vary substantially across species. Here, we aim to extend the comparative scope of decision‐making analyses to phylogenetically diverse organisms.

ABSTRACT Of the three types of cytoskeleton known in animals—actin, microtubules, and intermediate filaments—only actin and microtubules exist in plants. Both play important roles in cellular shaping, organelle movement, organization of the endomembrane system, and cell signaling.
