The Economic and Ecological Impact of Soy in Brazil: A Synthetic Control Method Approach

open access: yesJournal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In recent decades, soy expansion in Brazil has generated significant environmental, social and economic impacts. However, there is no consensus about benefits and drawbacks, calling for a more careful account of the economic and ecological diversity of the territories where this phenomenon has been unfolding.

New Hyperspectral Geometry Ratio Index for Monitoring Rice Blast Disease from Leaf Scale to Canopy Scale

open access: yesRemote Sensing
Rice blast is a highly damaging disease that greatly impacts both the quality and yield of rice. Timely identification and monitoring of this disease are essential for effective agricultural management and for ensuring optimal crop performance.

Iflaviruses in arthropods: when small is mighty

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
Many arthropod species harbor iflaviruses, which often cause covert (asymptomatic) infections, but may still affect host fitness. We review the impact of iflaviruses on arthropod fitness, immunity, behaviour as well as the iflavirus’ host range, transmission, tissue tropism and the interactions with other microorganisms within arthropods.

Genome-Wide Association and Transcriptome Analyses Identify OsCBP606 as a Calmodulin-Mediated Susceptibility Gene to Magnaporthe oryzae in Rice

open access: yesRice
Rice blast, caused by the fungus Magnaporthe oryzae, is one of the most devastating diseases that affects rice production globally. Identifying new QTLs or R genes for blast resistance is crucial for developing rice varieties with enhanced resistance. In

LsFAMeT and LsJHAMT coordinate JH biosynthesis to regulate fecundity in Laodelphax striatellus

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
The small brown planthopper (SBPH), Laodelphax striatellus, can trigger large‐scale outbreaks when encountering suitable habitats during migration due to their strong reproductive ability. This study investigated the role of juvenile hormone (JH) in regulating SBPH reproduction.

From Conflicting Outcomes to Mutual Losses: How Punitive Responses to Problematic Substance Use Suppress Help‐Seeking and Cause Harm

open access: yesHuman Resource Management Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Problematic substance use (PSU) is a significant, inadequately managed people management challenge. Drawing on the conflicting outcomes and mutual losses perspectives on HRM and employee wellbeing, and using Job Demands‐Resources theory to explain underlying strain‐driven loss cycles, we examine factors shaping PSU and help‐seeking among 575 ...

Transcriptomics Unveil Dsx1 as a Critical Regulator in Sexual Dimorphism of Crustaceans

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Sexually dimorphic traits are involved in reproductive competition and are shaped by sex‐biased gene expression. This study identifies Dsx1 as a key male‐biased gene in Morinoia aosen and demonstrates through RNA interference that its disruption feminizes male‐specific T3 leg structures.

The Late Agricultural Development of Central Arabian Oases—Archaeobotanical and Archaeozoological Studies of the al‐Kharj Oasis

open access: yesArabian Archaeology and Epigraphy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While oasis settlements emerged during the Bronze Age in Eastern and Northern Arabia, the settlement process in Central Arabia was different. Excavations at al‐Yamāma—main ancient settlement of the al‐Kharj oasis (Riyadh Province, KSA)—suggest that the latter did not emerge before the second half of the first millennium BCE.
