The Ambiguous Ecologies of Agri‐Alternatives: Exploring the Calculus of Social Reproduction in Rural India

Journal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper advances scholarship on agri‐alternatives by probing the gap between romanticised narratives of how alternative farming transitions ought to be and the actual practices farmers enact in their fields. Focusing on moments when such alternatives encounter on‐the‐ground realities, we propose ambiguous ecologies as a lens to explore the ...

Shrubs and trees as natural insect protection for grazing animals in Switzerland and the alpine region: A systematic review of in vitro, in vivo and clinical trials Sträucher und Bäume als natürlicher Insektenschutz für Weidetiere in der Schweiz und im Alpenraum: Eine systematische Literaturübersicht über in vitro‐, in vivo‐ und klinische Studien

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Biting or irritating insects are a threat to the health and welfare of grazing animals. This systematic review reveals that several shrubs and bushes growing in the alpine area have insecticidal, insect‐repellent and/or attractant properties. The alder Alnus glutinosa, juniper Juniperus communis, spruce Picea abies and walnut Juglans regia are ...

A Plant‐Based Platform for the Production of Bark Beetle Pheromones

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Bark beetle species of the genera Ips and Dendroctonus represent a threat to forests in both North America and Europe. Under normal circumstances, these beetles recycle dying trees into nutrients, but under certain conditions, growing populations can overcome healthy tree defenses and cause severe economic loss in forestry.

Photodynamic priming (PDP) targets platinum resistance from chronic perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) exposure in ovarian cancer cells

Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
PFAS are environmental contaminants that induce chemoresistance in ovarian cancer cells. This study evaluated BPD‐PDP or ALA‐PpIX‐PDP in combination with carboplatin or doxorubicin to overcome PFAS‐induced chemoresistance in two cell cohorts: (i) PFAS chronically‐exposed and (ii) PFAS outgrown cells (which underwent a “recovery period” after chronic ...
