The Insect Calculator: A web tool to predict meadow arthropods based on mowing impacts
Although the biodiversity crisis and insect decline have gained increasing scientific and public attention, they persist, indicating that current measures are insufficient. The Insect Calculator (insektentaschenrechner.de/en), a digital tool that models and visualises the effects of mowing and environmental parameters on arthropod density and species ...

Downforce effects on seed placement at high planting speed
Abstract Corn (Zea mays L.) plant spacing and uniform growth are important, but increased planter speed and surface roughness may compromise seed placement uniformity by increasing planter component vibration. This study evaluated planting speed and downforce settings on planter component vibration, seed placement uniformity, and grain yield.

The workflow illustrates the process of identifying and preliminarily validating the functionality of effectors in Bemisia tabaci. The proteome of B. tabaci served as the initial input for a multiparameter effector prediction pipeline, which integrates secretory features, subcellular targeting predictions, and parallel computational tools to generate a

Bacillus thuringiensis and its pest control potential as endophyte
Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) systemically colonizes tomato plants as endophyte, inducing midgut damage, fitness reduction and immune suppression in Spodoptera littoralis larvae feeding on Bt‐colonized leaves. The immune suppression enhances the susceptibility to Bt treatments, allowing a synergistic dual use of Bt commercial formulations, by combined ...

Rhizobacterial inoculation of barley reduced Sitobion avenae populations by inducing plant resistance and modifying volatiles that attracted parasitoid wasps earlier, enhancing both bottom‐up and top‐down pest control. Abstract BACKGROUND Soil rhizobacteria can enhance crop resistance to insect herbivores and influence higher trophic interactions ...

Reconstructing Old Chinese *‐ts Using Han‐Time Material
Abstract Baxter & Sagart (2014b) reconstruct *‐Vt‐s on the basis of Middle Chinese reflexes in ‐jH (from some OC *‐s) coupled with either etymological or graphic connections to words in Middle Chinese ‐t. This approach, while perfectly sound, can suffer from lack of etymological or graphic data, leading to missed reconstructions. Since Old Chinese *‐ts

ABSTRACT Subalpine conifers such as Abies koreana E.H.Wilson (Korean fir) play a significant ecological role but are increasingly endangered due to the effects of climate change, including the high prevalence of insect pests. This study identified for the first time, a notorious aphid pest on newly developed needles and twigs of A.
