Advanced Science, EarlyView.The genome of Megachile rotundata, an extensively managed solitary pollination bee species, has been sequenced, covering 280.68 Mb and predicting 10 701 genes. The study reveals significant expansions of the Toll gene family and their abundant expression in diapause prepupae, highlighting enhanced immune responses during diapause. This genome serves as

Ecography, EarlyView.Animals redistribute elements throughout their lives by depositing wastes and carcasses. Growing evidence shows that these zoogeochemical processes enhance landscape diversity and heterogeneity worldwide. We provide a descriptive framework for understanding how direct animal depositions (i.e.

Gene and Genome Duplication in Spiders
Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.In chelicerates whole genome duplications (WGDs) were identified in distinct groups. While there is evidence that Xiphosurans/horseshoe crabs had three rounds of WGD and arachnopulmonates (e.g. spiders and scorpions) had one WGD, in many other arachnid groups no WGD was identified.

‘Nature of the year’ in Germany: An effective policy to raise public awareness?
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Building public awareness for conservation can be done in different ways. However, the impact of the conservation marketing techniques is not well understood. The ‘nature of the year’ award is a public awareness building strategy for conservation in Germany, which aims to draw attention to annually selected species and their habitats. In order

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 4, Page 2300-2311, April 2025.Light‐emitting diode (LED)‐based treatments for enhancing crop production and pest management have primarily focused on continuous treatments. This study, using Tetranychus urticae and Phytoseiulus persimilis, demonstrates that the timing of LED supplementation is crucial for designing integrated pest management strategies that improve both plant ...

The continuing significance of chiral agrochemicals
Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 4, Page 1697-1716, April 2025.In the time frame 2018–2023, around 43% of the 35 chiral agrochemicals introduced to the market (herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, acaricides, and nematicides) contain one or more stereogenic centers in the molecule, and almost 69% of them have been marketed as racemic mixtures of enantiomers or stereoisomers.

Proteolytic stabilization of a spider venom peptide results in an orally active bioinsecticide
Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Selective editing out of an insect gut protease cleavage site renders a spider‐derived insecticidal peptide active by ingestion by insect pests. Abstract BACKGROUND The toxin peptide U1‐AGTX‐Ta1b from the Hobo spider, Eratigena agrestis (Walckenaer, 1802), was studied to determine its potential to serve as a bioinsecticide.

The Chemical Record, EarlyView.The radical Pietist Johann Conrad Dippel was a self‐proclaimed adept – a maker of gold and the philosophers’ stone. He was also a magister of theology, a doctor of medicine, and a self‐taught chemist, who coinvented the pigment Prussian Blue together with Johann von Diesbach, became known for his animal pyrolysis oil, his wonder‐wound balm, his ...

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Competition for food and reproductive interference (negative interspecific sexual interactions) have been identified as major drivers of species exclusion. Still, how these biotic interactions jointly determine competitive dominance remains largely unknown.

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.In this article, I delve into the field diary of Ma Changshou – a major Chinese ethnohistorian and social anthropologist active between the 1930s and 1960s – to show how his journeys through Liangshan, a mountainous land in Southwest China inhabited by the Nuosu‐Yi, led to a new kind of anthropological knowledge.
