Coexisting ant species differ in ability to meet their intrinsic nutritional needs

Oikos, EarlyView.
Coexisting species are often assumed to reduce competition by foraging for foods that differ in nutrient composition, but few studies test whether field nutritional differences correspond to intrinsic differences in macronutrient selectivity. We compared field estimates of worker trophic position (tissue isotopes: δ15N) and worker tissue stoichiometry (

Sickle Cell Disease: Historical Overview and Current Therapies

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sickle cell disease (SCD) affects millions worldwide, yet the limited treatment options currently available do not always adequately control the disease and carry significant side effects. At present, the only curative treatment is hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) transplantation, a procedure that carries considerable challenges and numerous ...

Using art history to explore society's changing connections with agriculture

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Food insecurity is a looming challenge that especially affects those least fortunate. Consumer food choices have a substantial impact on the sustainability of current food systems. Here, we use art as a lens through which to consider our contemporary and historical relationship to one of the world's most crucial crops, the potato, in the context of the

2‐Amino‐3H‐phenoxazin‐3‐one is a lead inhibitor of Cuscuta campestris early development: structure–activity relationships of o‐aminophenol‐derived allelochemicals

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Phenoxazinones caused differential types of phytotoxic effects in C. campestris early development. APO is a coherent lead inhibiting C. campestris germination and early seedling growth. Abstract BACKGROUND 2‐Amino‐3H‐phenoxazin‐3‐one (synonym: questiomycin A; abbreviated as APO or Phx‐3) is a naturally occurring phenoxazinone‐type allelochemical with ...

Target‐site mutations and phenotypic failure in Myzus persicae against pyrethroids and carbamates in central Europe

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Molecular screening of 140 field‐collected Myzus persicae aphids revealed target‐site mutations L1014F, M918L, M918T, and L932F in the sodium channel and S431F in Ace2. The M918L mutation was the primary driver of high pyrethroid (cypermethrin) resistance, while S431F served as a definitive marker for carbamate (pirimicarb) resistance.
