This study addresses the ecological role of coarse woody debris (CWD) as a thermally buffered microhabitat for saproxylic organisms in temperate eastern US forests. We measured internal and external log temperatures across four seasons in Southern Appalachian forests to test how log diameter, decay stage, and moisture influence thermal buffering.

Transcriptomic and DNA Methylation Profiles of Alternative Aphid Morphs and Genotypes
Graph showing the correlation between differentially expressed genes and differentially methylated genes. There is no correlation between gene expression and DNA methylation level in pea aphid polyphenism. ABSTRACT Pea aphids can develop alternative morphs when exposed to stressful conditions, showing differences between genotypes in their stress ...

Macaca leonina in Bangladesh exhibit habitat‐, season‐, and sex–age–dependent behavioral variability. Food‐related activities (p < 0.001, multinomial regression, shown graph) were more likely in the plantation and feeding there declined in summer; adult males in the plantation were also less likely to play and groom.

Termitomyces/Termite Interactions
The efficiency of degradation of lignocellulose by fungus-growing termites is largely attributed to their symbiotic Termitomyces. These fungi provide a variety of functions that termites do not possess. Recently, the application of new technologies and molecular methods has greatly improved our knowledge of lignin degradation by both Macrotermitinae ...

This study employs an AI‐driven multidisciplinary approach to increase our understanding of the toxicological effects of sublethal concentrations of carlina oxide on Prostephanus truncatus. Sublethal exposure to the carlina oxide induced changes in motor patterns and thigmotaxis, highlighting its potential role in integrated pest management strategies.

Tannin resin-boron associations: Leaching and biological resistance [PDF]
The easy leaching of boron in wood preservation formulations has allowed to use this fungicide only for short term applications. The recently discovered adduct with flavonoids allows boron to resist longer periods of time within wood and consequently ...

Highly pathogenic isolates of Metarhizium anisopliae attracted Drosophila suzukii. Identifying the responsible compounds for this attraction could help the development of these isolates for pest monitoring and overall pest management. Abstract BACKGROUND Drosophila suzukii, commonly known as spotted wing drosophila (SWD), is a highly invasive and ...
