Life‐History Traits and Overwintering of Actia interrupta (Diptera: Tachinidae), a Larval Parasitoid of Choristoneura fumiferana (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae)

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Actia interrupta is a larval tachinid parasitoid that plays a key role in regulating low‐density populations of the eastern spruce budworm. We describe its immature stages, life‐history traits, host‐searching behavior, development, and confirm its larviparous reproductive strategy.

Defining the role of αC helix interactions in the activation of the integrin αI domain

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
The α2I domain of the α2β1 integrin contains a distinctive αC helix and a conserved Arg288‐Glu318 ion pair that stabilizes the closed state of the domain. Disruption of this ion pair in the activated α2I variant unwinds the αC helix, which allows interaction with additional collagen‐binding sites increasing collagen binding.

Against the odds: Nesting specialization and foraging ecology provide insights into climate change responses in a mountain bee

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
A unique high‐elevation Exoneura bee defies typical elevation‐driven declines in bee activity, nesting exclusively in dead branches of snow gums near the alpine tree line. Nesting and foraging are tightly linked to snow gum presence, with most activity occurring within 30 m of these trees. Biophysical modelling indicates the bee's thermally constrained

A role for vegetation phenology in shaping patterns of ecosystem sensitivity to drought

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Examples of vegetation phenology during drought. Summary Phenology, as the study of the timing and rhythms of vegetation activity, has traditionally emphasized trends in phenological responses to gradual climate change. Consequently, we lack understanding of phenological responses to concurrent increases in the frequency and intensity of climate ...

Thermal Safety Margins and Peak Leaf Temperatures Predict Vulnerability of Diverse Plant Species to an Experimental Heatwave

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Extreme heat can push plants beyond their thermal safety margin (TSM) if maximum leaf temperature (Tleaf_max) exceeds leaf critical temperature (Tcrit). The TSM is potentially useful for assessing heat vulnerability across species but needs further validation, so we exposed 50 tree/shrub species in controlled glasshouses to a 6‐day heatwave ...

A Hierarchy of Crossmodal Odor Associations: Exploring the Role of Pleasantness and Edibility in Odor Crossmodal Associations Across the Senses

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Crossmodal associations with odors have the potential to aid in odor perception and language. In addition, identifying the dimensions that drive odor crossmodal associations may help understand the critical dimensions underlying odor perception more generally.
