Oral delivery of double-stranded RNAs and siRNAs induces RNAi effects in the potato/tomato psyllid, Bactericerca cockerelli. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 The potato/tomato psyllid, Bactericerca cockerelli (B. cockerelli), and the Asian citrus psyllid, Diaphorina citri (D. citri), are very important plant pests, but they are also vectors of phloem-limited bacteria that are associated with two devastating ...

Sympatry Increases Predation Risk for an Endangered Ungulate
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.We characterized predation risk for Peninsular bighorn sheep and southern mule deer across their ranges to understand how topography, habitat, forage, and prey habitat suitability affect where pumas are likely to predate both species. The presence of the second ungulate species increased predation risk for both species but had the greatest effect on ...

Evaluating novel attachment methods for tracking devices on terrestrial mammals
The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 6, August 2026.We deployed GNSS tracking devices on 2 endangered large terrestrial mammals, scimitar‐horned oryx and Przewalski's horses, using novel attachment methods. Tags achieved fix success rates and spatial accuracy that compare well with standard collars used on large mammals.

Plant Protection Science, 2016 The impact of vector density and timing of infestation on potato were investigated. Healthy potato plants at different growth stages (4, 5, and 7 weeks after germination) were exposed separately to four different B. cockerelli densities (0, 5, 20, and 40

Tree Climbing in African Lions and Leopards
African Journal of Ecology, Volume 64, Issue 6, August 2026.ABSTRACT Tree climbing has been documented in most felids, but patterns, correlates, and possible functions of this behaviour are not well documented for all species, including the African lion. Using a comparative behavioural ecology approach and drawing on opportunistic field observations from multiple sites in northern Tanzania, I used Bayesian ...

Emerging potato pathogens affecting food security in southern Africa: Recent research
South African Journal of Science, 2020 Potato is a staple crop that contributes to food security and poverty alleviation in developing nations. Despite this, yields in developing nations are often unsustainably low, due to various biotic and abiotic factors that negatively affect production ...

ChemSusChem, Volume 19, Issue 14, 29 July 2026.Sodiophilic mesoporous carbon confers a near‐perfect interface between Na metal and ceramic solid electrolytes, while serving as a host for solid Na anodes. This synergy forms a foundational element for sodium solid‐state batteries (Na‐SSBs) in pairing a dendrite‐resistant anode with an inherently (electro)chemically stable ceramic electrolyte.

Effects of Temperature on ‘CandidatusLiberibacter solanacearum’ and Zebra Chip Potato Disease Symptom Development [PDF]
Plant Disease, 2012 Temperature has been shown to have a significant effect on development of liberibacter species associated with citrus Huanglongbing disease. ‘Candidatus Liberibacter africanus’ and ‘Ca. L. americanus’ are both heat sensitive, whereas ‘Ca. L. asiaticus’ is heat tolerant. The recently described ‘Ca. L.
