LsFAMeT and LsJHAMT coordinate JH biosynthesis to regulate fecundity in Laodelphax striatellus
Insect Science, EarlyView.The small brown planthopper (SBPH), Laodelphax striatellus, can trigger large‐scale outbreaks when encountering suitable habitats during migration due to their strong reproductive ability. This study investigated the role of juvenile hormone (JH) in regulating SBPH reproduction.

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.Global climate change will modify the distribution areas of important cereal bugs by changing environmental conditions. Information on their dispersal possibilities can help to clarify their future economic importance and damage potential. In this study, we modelled the current potential and future distribution of four important pests by using the ...

Influence of Mechanical Yielding on Predictions of Saturation: The Saturation Line [PDF]
, 2017 It is now well accepted that the mechanical and the water retention behaviour of a soil under unsaturated conditions are coupled and, that such coupling, should be incorporated into a constitutive model for a realistic representation of soil’s response ...

Children &Society, EarlyView.Abstract This article explores the ways in which ‘forest school’, an educational approach where children engage in creative and play based activities in a ‘natural’ environment, can contribute towards Sustainable Development Goal 15 (SDG 15) by promoting sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems and by helping address biodiversity loss. Drawing on data

Delipidisation of wool fibres and the subsequent beneficial properties of delipidised wool fibres
Coloration Technology, EarlyView.Abstract Wool fibres are complex matrices of proteins and fatty acids/lipids found both internally and externally. 18‐methyleicosanoic acid (18‐MEA) is covalently bound to the surface of the fibre via a thio‐ester link, and is considered one of the most important lipids as it is responsible for the hydrophobic properties of wool fibres.

Insects and Survival: A Review of Primary and Secondary Defense Strategies
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.Based on a review of three decades of literature, insect defense mechanisms are classified into primary (I) and secondary (II) mechanisms of behavioral, morphological, and chemical nature. These mechanisms have been recorded in 22 (I) and 20 (II) orders, respectively.
