Rapid adaptive response of population fitness of Zeugodacus tau during host shifts and implications for integrated pest management strategies

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Zeugodacus tau's host‐switching driven by phenotypic plasticity and asymmetric colonization reveals field‐ready integrated pest management tactics: mango–luffa rotation disrupts oviposition site fidelity and synchronization of control measures with critical developmental transition.

Symbiotic bacteria participate in pectinolytic metabolism to enhance larval growth in Zeugodacus cucurbitae

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
The larval food consumption, growth, and pectinase activity without symbiotic bacteria are suppressed in Zeugodacus cucurbitae. We isolated four strains of Klebsiella spp. that can participate in pectinolytic metabolism from feeding wounds. Reintroducing them to sterile eggs breaks the developmental constraints caused by the lack of symbiotic bacteria.

Perspectives on microbial community changes produced by Hermitia illucens frass and their impact on soil suppression against Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lactucae

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Soils amended with chitin or black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) frass reduced Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lactucae propagules compared to non‐amended soil. Changes observed in microbial communities could be involved. Abstract BACKGROUND Organic soil amendments rich in chitin have demonstrated significant potential promoting suppressive soils.

Sand fly saliva: toward a vaccine against leishmaniases

Vaccine Research, 2015
Leishmaniases are a group of sand fly-borne diseases caused by protozoan parasites from species of Leishmania genus. These diseases are reported in about 100 countries with a prevalence of 12 million people infected and incidence of 2 million people per ...

Flow Memory Effect on Open‐Frame Remotely Operated Vehicle Motion

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The flow memory effect is a kind of viscous force caused by acceleration between continuous phases and underwater vehicles and the development of the boundary layer near the interfacial surface. This paper establishes a 6‐degrees‐of‐freedom unsteady equation of motion describing the flow memory effect on viscous hydrodynamic loads.

Modeling Changes in Flow Dynamics From the Restoration of a Distributary Slough Along a Large Floodplain River

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sloughs are slow‐moving or still water systems that serve as an important ecosystem component connecting rivers and floodplains such as the Apalachicola River in northwest Florida. However, sloughs of the Apalachicola River have become hydrologically disconnected from the mainstem due to the impact of failed navigation projects such as channel

Using LiDAR‐Based DEM Elevation Difference Calculations to Estimate Net Streambank Erosion in an Iowa River, USA

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Streambank erosion is an important source of sediment to river systems but is difficult to quantify at watershed scales. In this study, high‐resolution Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) measurements collected from 2009 and 2020 were used to quantify the difference in land surface elevation that occurred along the fourth and fifth‐order ...
