Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, Volume 42, Issue 11, Page 2400-2411, November 2023., 2023 Abstract Lethal and sublethal effects of pesticides on nontarget organisms are one of the causes of the current decline of many insect species. However, research in the past decades has focused primarily on pollinators, although other beneficial nontarget organisms such as parasitic wasps may also be affected.

Pest Management Science, Volume 79, Issue 11, Page 4186-4196, November 2023., 2023 A Wolbachia‐free Aedes albopictus strain was developed and considered to be used for SIT programmes based on the comparable fitness cost, radiosensitivity and arbovirus susceptibility to its conspecifics. Abstract BACKGROUND The sterile insect technique (SIT) is a green and species‐specific insect pest control technique that suppresses target ...

Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, Volume 42, Issue 9, Page 1857-1866, September 2023., 2023 Abstract Recovery, recolonization, and adaptation in a chemical stress context are processes that regenerate local populations and communities as well as the functions these communities perform. Recolonization, either by species previously present or by new species able to occupy the niches left empty, refers to a metacommunity process with stressed ...

Semifields, relative difference sets, and bent functions [PDF]
, 2014 Recently, the interest in semifields has increased due to the discovery of several new families and progress in the classification problem. Commutative semifields play an important role since they are equivalent to certain planar functions (in the case ...

Cryptic Species in Ecotoxicology
Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, Volume 42, Issue 9, Page 1889-1914, September 2023., 2023 Abstract The advent of genetic methods has led to the discovery of an increasing number of species that previously could not be distinguished from each other on the basis of morphological characteristics. Even though there has been an exponential growth of publications on cryptic species, such species are rarely considered in ecotoxicology.

On symplectic semifield spreads of PG(5,q2), q odd [PDF]
, 2017 We prove that there exist exactly three non-equivalent symplectic semifield spreads of PG ( 5 , q2), for q2> 2 .38odd, whose associated semifield has center containing Fq.

Evaluating and Explaining the Variability of Honey Bee Field Studies across Europe Using BEEHAVE
Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, Volume 42, Issue 8, Page 1839-1850, August 2023., 2023 BEEHAVE evaluation on honey bee field studies conducted in Germany, Hungary, and the United Kingdom. OSR = oil seed rape. Abstract To assess the effect of plant protection products on pollinator colonies, the higher tier of environmental risk assessment (ERA), for managed honey bee colonies and other pollinators, is in need of a mechanistic effect ...

Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, Volume 42, Issue 6, Page 1337-1345, June 2023., 2023 Abstract Bumblebees carry out the complex task of foraging to provide for their colonies. They also conduct pollination, an ecosystem service of high importance to both wild plants and entomophilous crops. Insecticides can alter different aspects of bumblebee foraging behavior, including the motivation to leave the hive, finding the right flowers ...

Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, Volume 42, Issue 6, Page 1346-1358, June 2023., 2023 Abstract Anthropogenic stressors can affect the emergence of aquatic insects. These insects link aquatic and adjacent terrestrial food webs, serving as high‐quality subsidy to terrestrial consumers, such as spiders. While previous studies have demonstrated that changes in the emergence biomass and timing may propagate across ecosystem boundaries, the ...

Symplectic spreads, planar functions and mutually unbiased bases [PDF]
, 2014 In this paper we give explicit descriptions of complete sets of mutually unbiased bases (MUBs) and orthogonal decompositions of special Lie algebras $sl_n(\mathbb{C})$ obtained from commutative and symplectic semifields, and from some other non-semifield
