Banker plants and landscape composition influence colonisation precocity of tomato greenhouses by mirid predators
(Springer, 2021-05-27)
Conservation biological control involves manipulation of the environment to enhance the effectiveness of natural enemies in controlling crop pests. In this study, we combined historical data, sticky ...
The feather epithelium contributes to the dissemination and ecology of clade 2.3.4.4b H5 high pathogenicity avian influenza viruses in ducks
(Taylor and Francis, 2023-11-03)
Immature feathers are known replication sites for high pathogenicity avian influenza viruses (HPAIVs) in poultry.
However, it is unclear whether feathers play an active role in viral transmission. This ...

Different Metabolic Roles for Alternative Oxidase in Leaves of Palustrine and Terrestrial Species
(Frontiers Media, 2021-11-04)
The alternative oxidase pathway (AOP) is associated with excess energy dissipation
in leaves of terrestrial plants. To address whether this association is less important
in palustrine plants, we ...
