Russian wheat aphid: a model for genomic plasticity and a challenge to breeders
Insect Science, EarlyView.Invasive foundress finds suitable habitat and reproduces through pathogenesis. Wingless females produce life offspring quickly, which leads to high population densities. High population densities result in competition, which may induce epigenetic changes and wing development for dispersal.

Annals of Applied Biology, EarlyView.The rising demand for biomass highlights Populus deltoides as a productive woody species. A 6‐year study in Sumter County, SC, assessed the effects of irrigation, fertilization, and clonal variation on growth and productivity. Eight clones were studied under two irrigation levels (33 and 1500 kPa) and nutrient rates (high: up to 182 kg N ha−1; low: 50%
