Timing the Sacred: A Multi‐Step Chronological Framework for the Llullaillaco Inca Burial

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Absolute radiocarbon dating offers high precision, but its application to historical contexts, such as the Inca civilization, requires a rigorous methodological approach. This research examines methods to enhance chronological accuracy through a case study of artifacts from the Llullaillaco Capacocha sacrifice.

Pest‐preservation paradox among insects

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
The pest‐preservation paradox is a non‐binary perspective that insects range from those that are harmful and requiring management on the one side, to those requiring conservation intervention on the opposite end of the spectrum. Importantly, the vast majority of insects occur somewhere in the center of the two extremes, and their position along the ...

Fungal infection affects sexual signalling and mate choice in the sugarcane borer

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Fungus‐infected Diatraea saccharalis females exhibit enhanced attractiveness to males in wind tunnel assays. Fungal infection alters the pheromone profile of females, increasing the relative abundance of Z9‐16: Ald, a minor but behaviourally active component of the species' sex pheromone blend.

Dynamics of Growth–Feeding Mechanisms in Japanese Anchovy Larvae Under Different Environmental Conditions

Fisheries Oceanography, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The linkage between growth rate and feeding success in fish larvae has received much attention as a potential indicator of future growth and survival potential. Given the increasing evidence that the growth–survival relationship is highly variable, the growth–feeding linkage would also exhibit variable dynamics among cohorts of the same ...

Differential Varietal Responses in Faba Bean Concerning Pea Aphid and Pea Necrotic Yellow Dwarf Virus (PNYDV) When Intercropped With Oat

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The pest status of pea aphid (Acyrthosiphum pisum H.) in faba bean (Vicia faba L.) cultivation has gained importance because it transmits Pea necrotic yellow dwarf virus (PNYDV), a novel nanovirus in Europe. This study evaluated two faba bean varieties, ‘Fuego’ and ‘GL Sunrise’, grown under sole crop (SC) and intercrop (IC) conditions with oat

Field Attraction of Natural Enemies to Methyl Salicylate Differs Between Annual and Perennial Cropping Systems

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Methyl salicylate (MeSA) is an herbivore‐induced plant volatile (HIPV) known to attract natural enemies of herbivores; however, its effectiveness as a semiochemical across diverse cropping systems and broad geographic regions remains unclear. In this 2‐year field study, we sampled natural enemies using MeSA‐baited and unbaited (control) yellow

ZmMS1 coordinates ROS homeostasis, lipid allocation, and male fertility for maize breeding applications

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
The redox‐sensitive transcriptional repressor ZmMS1 coordinates reactive oxygen species homeostasis and lipid allocation for pollen exine and anther cuticle formation. Loss or precocious expression of ZmMS1 causes male sterility. Constitutive overexpression induces dwarfism and semi‐sterility. These findings enable flexible maize male‐sterility systems

Natural variation in the GNH1 promoter enhances plant height and grain yield in rice

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Natural variation in the GRAIN NUMBER AND PLANT HEIGHT 1 (GNH1) promoter alleviates repression by the C2H2‐type transcription factor ZFP36, upregulating GNH1 expression and promoting auxin accumulation, thereby increasing rice plant height and grain yield. This elite allele serves as a valuable genetic resource for molecular breeding of high‐yield rice.

Analyzing the Temporal Structure of Proactive Coping: An Integrative Approach

Journal of Personality, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Proactive coping is an important construct in health and well‐being research. Yet, not much is known about its temporal stability and how life events affect it. Conceptualizations of coping have mainly focused on either (i) stable, trait‐like characteristics, (ii) state‐like, context‐dependent features, or (iii) process‐oriented ...
