Monitoring wildlife using long‐endurance solar‐electric UAVs

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
This report discusses the effectiveness of using small solar‐electric UAV (uncrewed aerial vehicles) for aerial wildlife monitoring. We review four years of aerial wildlife monitoring missions using a 5.5‐m wingspan, solar‐electric UAV that was equipped with a gimballed IR/RGB camera.

Genome and transcriptome‐based identification and expression profiling of chemosensory gene families across developmental stages and tissues in Sirex noctilio (Hymenoptera: Siricidae)

Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
The first draft genome of Sirex noctilio was produced. Fifteen S. noctilio transcriptomes were sequenced to study chemosensory gene expression patterns. SnocOR16 and SnocSNMP1 displayed tissue‐ and sex‐specific expression patterns. Abstract The Sirex woodwasp (Sirex noctilio; Hymenoptera: Siricidae) is among the most destructive invasive pests ...

Aggregation of Modified Glucuronoxylan in Water and DMSO

Biopolymers, Volume 117, Issue 3, May 2026.
Neutron scattering study of dispersibility of glucuronoxylan and modified glucuronoxylan, in water and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). ABSTRACT Glucuronoxylans are known to be only partly soluble in aqueous media. Chemical modification often aims to improve solubility, yet observations of aggregation even of the modified xylans are not uncommon.

Effects of Morphological Age and Indole-3-Butyric Acid Concentration on Rooting of Selected Robusta Coffee Varieties

Coffee and Cocoa Research Journal
In response to the outbreak of Coffee Wilt Disease (CWD) which wiped out almost 50% of Robusta coffee in Uganda, the National Coffee Research Institute (NaCORI) released 10 varieties (KR1-10) which are resistant to the disease. These varieties are being

Softwood Lumber – Some Lessons from the Last Softwood (Lumber IV) Dispute

The School of Public Policy Publications, 2017
The checkered history of softwood lumber disputes between Canada and its southern neighbour stretches back to the 1800s, with five of them occurring since 1982. Two years ago, the settlement obtained in 2006 expired and most Canadian softwood lumber exporters now face a combined countervailing and anti-dumping duty rate from the Americans of around 27 ...
