Pest categorisation of Popillia quadriguttata
EFSA Journal, Volume 22, Issue 6, June 2024.Abstract The EFSA Panel on Plant Health performed a pest categorisation of Popillia quadriguttata (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae), following a commodity risk assessment of bonsai Pinus parviflora grafted onto P. thunbergii from China, in which P. quadriguttata was identified as a pest of possible concern for the territory of the European Union.

Longer holding times decrease dispersal but increase mortality of translocated scaled quail
The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 88, Issue 1, January 2024.We conducted a novel field experiment evaluating the effect of source population and delayed release strategy on the mortality and dispersal of translocated scaled quail. We found that a tradeoff exists between increased mortality and decreased dispersal distances as length of holding time increases.

Quantification of Metabolites for Assessing Human Exposure to Soapberry Toxins Hypoglycin A and Methylenecyclopropylglycine [PDF]
Chemical Research in Toxicology, 2015 Ingestion of soapberry fruit toxins hypoglycin A and methylenecyclopropylglycine has been linked to public health challenges worldwide. In 1976, over 100 years after Jamaican vomiting sickness (JVS) was first reported, the cause of JVS was linked to the ingestion of the toxin hypoglycin A produced by ackee fruit.

Long‐term monitoring of cycles in Clethrionomys rutilus in the Yukon boreal forest
Integrative Zoology, Volume 19, Issue 1, Page 27-36, January 2024.Fifty years of 3–4‐year cycles of the red‐backed vole in the Yukon boreal forest continue with increasing amplitude. Abstract Baseline studies of small rodent populations in undisturbed ecosystems are rare. We report here 50 years of monitoring and experimentation in Yukon of a dominant rodent species in the North American boreal forest, the red‐backed
