Suitability of leguminous cover crop pollens as food source for the green lacewing Chrysoperla externa (Hagen) (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae). [PDF]

, 2006
Diversification of crops with species that provide suitable pollen for predators may reduce pest population on crops by enhancing predator effectiveness.

Speciation Through the Lens of Population Dynamics: A Theoretical Primer on How Small and Large Populations Diverge

Population Ecology, EarlyView.
Population size and dynamics fundamentally shape speciation by influencing genetic drift, founder events, and adaptive potential. Small populations may speciate rapidly due to stronger drift, whereas large populations harbor more genetic diversity, which can alter divergence trajectories. We highlight theoretical models that incorporate population size

Size matters: Natural experiments suggest the dear enemy effect is moderated by pack size in African wild dogs

Ecology and Evolution
Remote monitoring of communal marking sites, or latrines, provides a unique opportunity to observe undisturbed scent marking behaviour of African wild dogs (Lycaon pictus).

TREX1, a predator for treating MSI‐H tumors?

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Immunotherapy benefits many patients; yet, some with MSI‐H tumors remain unresponsive despite their high immunogenicity. Xu et al. reveal that TREX1 enables immune evasion by degrading cytosolic DNA and suppressing cGAS–STING–IFN‐I signaling. TREX1 loss restores DNA sensing, increases CD8+ T and NK cell infiltration, and boosts antitumor immunity ...

Additive opportunistic capture explains group hunting benefits in African wild dogs

Nature Communications, 2016
African wild dogs hunt collaboratively over long distances in grassland plains. Hubel et al. use high-resolution GPS to show that in their remaining habitat of mixed woodland savannah, African wild dogs use multiple opportunistic short-distance hunts ...

Morphometry of the reproductive system of the predator Podisus nigrispinus (Dallas, 1851) (Hemiptera, Pentatomidae) when submitted to different temperatures [PDF]

Ciência Rural, 2020
: In order to manipulate the mass rearing of natural enemies, temperature variations can be used. The effects are widely studied for their survival and developmental duration; however, there is little information about their reproductive system in the ...

Integrated Metallo‐Dielectric 3D Hotspots From High Refractive Index Nanodiamond‐Plasmonic Gold Cryosoret Nano‐Assemblies for Photonic Crystal Enhanced Fluorescence

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This work presents a novel sensing platform using metallo‐dielectric cryosoret nano‐assemblies and lossless photonic crystals to overcome limitations of conventional plasmonic biosensors. The hybrid system enhances both electric and magnetic field interactions, enabling amplified fluorescence, ultralow detection limits, and prism‐free, objective‐free ...

To Hunt or Patrol? Social Composition and Location Mediate Scent Marking Decisions of a Large Carnivore

Ecology and Evolution
While sociality is known to mediate territorial processes, it is less clear how sociality interacts with environmental features and neighbors' location to influence habitat selection and behavior.
