Microbial Odorant Detection Guides Drosophila Parasitoids Seeking Hosts in Fermenting Fruits

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Yeast microbes in fermenting fruits attract both host flies and their parasitoid wasps. Female Leptopilina boulardi detect yeast‐emitted ethyl esters via two olfactory receptors, LbouOR167 and LbouOR136. A conserved residue, Leu159, is critical for binding these compounds, enabling female wasps to locate host‐rich habitats.

Chitosan‐Carbon Dot Composite Materials Form a Leaf Surface Barrier to Mitigate the Enrichment and Invasion of Nanoplastics: From Leaf Interface to Systemic Response

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Foliar spraying of CS‐CDs can form a film on the leaves of Brassica rapa, effectively reducing the enrichment and absorption of PS in the leaves, while increasing the biomass and nutrient content of the plants. In addition, CS‐CDs can also enrich the interfoliar microbial community and activate the plant's own defense metabolic pathways.

Application of a Cloud Removal Algorithm for Snow-Covered Areas from Daily MODIS Imagery over Andes Mountains

Atmosphere, 2022
Snow cover area is dramatically decreasing across the Los Andes Mountains and the most relevant water reservoir under drought conditions. In this sense, monitoring of snow cover is key to analyzing the hydrologic balance in snowmelt-driven basins.

Quantitative assessment of masticatory muscles based on skull muscle attachment areas in Carnivora

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Masticatory muscles are composed of the temporalis, masseter, and pterygoid muscles in mammals. Each muscle has a different origin on the skull and insertion on the mandible; thus, all masticatory muscles contract in different directions. Collecting in vivo data and directly measuring the masticatory muscles anatomically in various Carnivora ...

Emerging climate-driven disturbance processes: Widespread mortality associated with snow-to-rain transitions across 10° of latitude and half the range of a climate-threatened conifer [PDF]

, 2016
Climate change is causing rapid changes to forest disturbance regimes worldwide. While the consequences of climate change for existing disturbance processes, like fires, are relatively well studied, emerging drivers of disturbance such as snow loss and ...

The new indices to describe temporal discontinuity of snow cover on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau

npj Climate and Atmospheric Science
Snow cover on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau significantly impacts the climate, hydrology, and ecology of China and East Asia. Current studies mainly use snow cover days to describe its duration, overlooking the snow’s discontinuous nature.

A Comparative Study of Albedo and Microclimatic Characteristics of Snow and Snow Free Covered Underlying Surfaces on the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau

Gaoyuan qixiang
As an important component of the cryosphere， snow cover is an indispensable part of the Earth's system and also an "indicator" of global climate change.The impact of snow cover on the climate system mainly originates from its physical properties such as ...

Spatiotemporal patterns of snow cover retrieved from NOAA-AVHRR LTDR: a case study in the Tibetan Plateau, China

International Journal of Digital Earth, 2017
Snow cover plays an important role in hydrological processes and seasonal water balance. Especially in the Tibetan Plateau (TP), snow cover is an important source of the Yangtze River, Yellow River and Lancang River (SRYYL), which greatly influences ...

High resolution spatial variability in spring snowmelt for an Arctic shrub-tundra watershed [PDF]

, 2019
Arctic tundra environments are characterized by spatially heterogeneous end-of-winter snow cover because of high winds that erode, transport and deposit snow over the winter.
