Six Decades of the Sterile Insect Technique Applied to Ceratitis capitata in Israel: Evolution, Methodology and Socio‐Economic Perspectives

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Mediterranean fruit fly (Ceratitis capitata; Medfly) has been a primary agricultural pest in Israel for over a century. While chemical control remains the prevalent choice for its management, the integration of the Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) into the management programme for this pest has been explored and implemented in various ...

Floral Trait Influence on the Foraging Decisions of a Fly Pollinator

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Flies foraging for floral resources provide important ecosystem services through the pollination of myriad angiosperms, including many crop species. However, the specific floral cues used by fly pollinators to locate and discriminate among floral rewards and the preferences they may have for specific cues remain poorly understood.

Modeling of the geographical distribution of two forest‐forming fucoids in the Strait–Alboran demarcation (southern Iberian Peninsula): Implications for conservation and restoration

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract Marine forests formed by canopy‐forming brown algae of the former Cystoseira complex are key habitat‐forming components of Mediterranean coastal ecosystems, supporting biodiversity and multiple ecosystem functions. However, many populations have declined in recent decades due to increasing anthropogenic pressures and climate change, raising ...

Quantitative Pharmacodynamic Analysis of Trimethoprim‐Sulfonamide Combination Activity Against Staphylococcus pseudintermedius

Journal of Veterinary Pharmacology and Therapeutics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Trimethoprim (TMP)‐sulfonamide combinations are widely used in veterinary medicine, yet the quantitative nature of their pharmacodynamic interaction remains incompletely characterised. This study investigated the interaction between TMP and sulfamethoxazole (SMX), sulfadiazine (SDZ) and sulfadimethoxine (SDMX) against two Staphylococcus ...

The Form of Agency

Noûs, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Philosophers often think agency is essentially connected with rationality, intention, or control. However, Minimalists argue that agency is just the power to cause a change; acids and boulders are agents too. Many philosophers treat Minimalism as a wild outlier, assuming its falsity without argument.
