The Australian Hydromyine Rodents—Their Interspecific Diversity and Reproductive Biology: A Review

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
There are two major groups, the Rattus species and the Hydromyini, in Australia. Clearly, the hydromyine rodents, unlike the Rattus genus, exhibit a diverse array of reproductive biological traits in both males and females, the full evolutionary significance of which has yet to be ascertained.

Climatic factors, landscape composition and host plant traits co‐drive fruit infestation of unmanaged walnut trees by the invasive pest fly Rhagoletis completa (Cresson, 1929) (Diptera: Tephritidae)

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
The study examined multiscale factors influencing walnut fruit infestations by the invasive pest fly Rhagoletis completa. Infestation rates increased with fruit size, host tree abundance, grasslands, hedgerows and temperatures, but decreased with anthropogenic habitats and heavy spring rainfall.

EFFECT OF THE REHABILITATION OF BAUXITE MINING AREAS ON THE INFILTRATION AND REPELLENCY OF THE SOIL TO WATER [PDF]

Revista Árvore
Brazil, the fourth-largest holder of bauxite reserves worldwide, plays a prominent role in global mineral production. However, open-pit mining can alter soil hydrological attributes due to vegetation removal and intensive soil disturbance.

Mortars From Punic and Hellenistic–Roman Solunto: Materials, Formulations, and Technology

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study presents an archaeometric investigation of 18 hydraulic rendering and bedding mortars from Punic and Hellenistic–Roman Solunto (NW Sicily). The research aimed to characterize raw materials, reconstruct manufacturing sequences, and evaluate technological proficiency through mineralogical and petrochemical analyses.

Attractiveness of Melon Genotypes to Whitefly (Bemisia tabaci) Mediated by Foliar Morphological and Biochemical Traits

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
This study identifies melon genotypes resistant to Bemisia tabaci by integrating morphological and biochemical leaf traits. Using free‐choice and no‐choice assays, we demonstrate that resistance is primarily mediated by antixenosis. Genotypes CNPH 11‐1071‐43, CNPH 06‐1047‐343, CNPH 13‐1076, and BG MEL 16 significantly reduced whitefly settling and ...

Rearing Istocheta aldrichi (Diptera: Tachinidae) From Field‐Collected Japanese Beetles (Popillia japonica): 2. Methods to Improve Overwintering, Adult Emergence and Longevity

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Successful rearing of Istocheta aldrichi, a tachinid parasitoid of invasive Japanese beetle, depended on conditions before, during, and after overwintering. Longer cold exposure increased adult emergence and accelerated post‐diapause development. Early transfer of puparia to cool conditions improved survival, while spring temperature manipulation ...

Role of Trichoderma Virens mycelium in enhancing erosion resistance of low plasticity silt

Biogeotechnics
Conventional techniques for soil erosion control often rely on the use of cementing additives and coating agents to improve shear strength, minimize particle movement, and increase soil water repellency.

Influence of organic manure amendments on water repellency, water entry value, and water retention of soil samples from a tropical Ultisol

Journal of Hydrology and Hydromechanics, 2016
Lowered stability of soil aggregates governed by insufficient organic matter levels has become a major concern in Sri Lanka. Although the use of organic manure with water repellent properties lowers the wetting rates and improves the stability of soil ...
