Pest categorisation of Selenaspidus articulatus

EFSA Journal, Volume 23, Issue 5, May 2025.
Abstract Following the commodity risk assessment of Jasminum polyanthum unrooted cuttings from Uganda, in which Selenaspidus articulatus (Hemiptera: Diaspididae) was identified as a pest of possible concern, the European Commission requested the EFSA Panel on Plant Health to conduct a pest categorisation of S.

Howler monkey foraging ecology suggests convergent evolution of routine trichromacy as an adaptation for folivory

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 7, Issue 5, Page 1421-1434, March 2017., 2017
Primates possess remarkably variable color vision, and the ecological and social factors shaping this variation remain heavily debated. Here, we examine opsin genes, feeding behaviors, and reflectance of dietary foliage of wild mantled howler monkeys (Alouatta palliata).

Efficacy of Green and Chemically Synthesized Nano Boron Nitride on Sunflower Germination

Nano Select, Volume 6, Issue 3, March 2025.
The TEM shows thin sheets of green‐synthesized nano boron nitride, while structural analysis through powder x‐ray diffraction confirmed a hexagonal configuration of the nanoparticles. The green‐synthesized particle was responsible for improving the germination percentage compared to the chemically synthesized nano particle. ABSTRACT This study explores

The root of the problem: Direct influence of riparian vegetation on estimation of stream ecosystem metabolic rates

Limnology and Oceanography Letters, Volume 2, Issue 1, Page 9-17, February 2017., 2017
Abstract Abundant living roots can be found in some streams and other shallow marine and freshwater habitats. A reach of a small Brazilian forested stream had 28% cover by live roots and exhibited diurnal trends in dissolved oxygen that could be attributed to gross primary production, but we hypothesized that activity of riparian tree roots in the ...

Pollination ecology of the invasive tree tobacco Nicotiana glauca: comparisons across native and non-native ranges [PDF]

, 2012
Interactions with pollinators are thought to play a significant role in determining whether plant species become invasive, and ecologically generalised species are predicted to be more likely to invade than more specialised species.

UAV‐Based Land Surface Temperatures and Vegetation Indices Explain and Predict Spatial Patterns of Soil Water Isotopes in a Tropical Dry Forest

Water Resources Research, Volume 61, Issue 2, February 2025.
Graphical abstract illustrating the concept of isotopic enrichment of soil water depending on canopy status and plant type. Because of less shading provided, evaporative enrichment in areas without canopy cover is higher compared to areas with intermixed evergreen and leaf‐shedding trees and evergreen patches. E and T are Evaporation and Transpiration,

Sub‐Saharan African Oilseeds as Functional Ingredients: Nutritional Profiles, Bioactivities, and Strategies for Enhanced Utilization in Food and Pharmaceutical Systems

Journal of Food Biochemistry, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Oilseeds native to sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA) represent a nutritionally and economically significant yet underutilized resource for enhancing food and nutrition security. This review synthesizes current knowledge on the nutritional composition, bioactive constituents, and processing technologies associated with indigenous SSA oilseeds, highlighting their
