Russian wheat aphid: a model for genomic plasticity and a challenge to breeders

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Invasive foundress finds suitable habitat and reproduces through pathogenesis. Wingless females produce life offspring quickly, which leads to high population densities. High population densities result in competition, which may induce epigenetic changes and wing development for dispersal.

Stretching, Shaking, Inflating: Volcanic-Tectonic Interactions at a Rifting Silicic Caldera

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022
Silicic caldera volcanoes are frequently situated in regions of tectonic extension, such as continental rifts, and are subject to periods of unrest and/or eruption that can be triggered by the interplay between magmatic and tectonic processes.

Randomized, single‐centre, double‐blinded repeated dose investigation of safety and tolerability of ocular administrations of a novel silica eye drop product in healthy volunteers

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Managing ocular diseases often requires frequent eye drop administration, which can challenge patient compliance. A long‐acting eye drop technology using an amorphous synthetic silica composite was developed to address this. Our study aimed to assess the safety and tolerability of the Silica Eye Drop platform in healthy volunteers over

Plume-related granite-rhyolite magmatism

Литосфера, 2020
Plume-related magmatism is widespread and its existence is well-founded. Mostly, plume-related magmatism is represented by trap rocks, oceanic island basalts (OIB) and oceanic plateau basalts (OPB), although the composition of plume-related igneous ...

The effect of early diagenetic processes on the quantification of fossil micrometeorite abundance and flux in the geological record

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Fossil micrometeorites (MMs) recovered from lithified sedimentary rocks, particularly iron‐rich (I‐type) cosmic spherules (CSs) provide valuable insights into past dust‐forming events. Their abundances, when combined with estimates of local sedimentation rates can be used to reconstruct the flux of extraterrestrial dust.

The influence of foliar applied silicic acid on N, P, K, Ca and Mg concentrations in field peas^*

Journal für Kulturpflanzen, 2016
Silicon (Si) is the second most abundant element after oxygen in soil. However, many field studies have shown that supplying crops with extra Si in form of finely dispersed SiO2 · n H2O (= silicic acid “dissolved” in water) suppresses plant disease ...

Remobilization of silicic intrusion by mafic magmas during the 2010 Eyjafjallajökull eruption [PDF]

Solid Earth, 2011
Injection of basaltic magmas into silicic crustal holding chambers and subsequent magma mingling or mixing is a process that has been recognised since the late seventies as resulting in explosive eruptions.

Zircon U-Pb dating of Mesozoic volcanic and tectonic events in northwest Palmer Land and southwest Graham Land, Antarctica [PDF]

, 2009
New whole rock Rb-Sr and zircon U-Pb geochronological data and Sm-Nd isotopic data are presented from the central magmatic arc domain of the Antarctic Peninsula in the area of northwest Palmer Land and southwest Graham Land, Rb-Sr isochrons indicate an ...

Potassium silicate improves cellular sodium homeostasis in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars differing in salt resistance

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Potassium silicate can decrease the uptake of sodium (Na+) into wheat cells by affecting the Na+ uptake channels and increasing ion homeostasis. Abstract Salinity causes negative impacts on crops. We investigated the effect of potassium silicate (K2SiO3) on the cytosolic uptake of sodium, [Na+]cyt, in mesophyll protoplasts of wheat cultivars differing ...

Sedimentary biogeochemical provinces in the northern limit of the oxygen minimum zone from the northeastern Mexican Pacific

Sedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Continental margins are reservoirs of materials of terrestrial and marine origin, and they play a crucial role in understanding the spatial and temporal variability of biogeochemical cycles. This, in turn, provides insights into the development and intensity of oxygen minimum zones (OMZs).
