Intracellular Localization of Blattella germanica Densovirus (BgDV1) Capsid Proteins
Viruses, 10(7), 370.
author keywords: Parvoviridae; Densovirinae; Blattella germanica densovirus; BgDV1; capsid proteins; nuclear localization; nuclear export; NLS; NES
MeSH headings : Amino Acid Motifs; Capsid / chemistry; Capsid Proteins / chemistry; Capsid Proteins / genetics; Cell Nucleus / virology; Cytoplasm / chemistry; Densovirus / chemistry; Densovirus / genetics; Genome, Viral; HeLa Cells; Humans; Mutagenesis, Site-Directed; Nuclear Export Signals; Nuclear Localization Signals; Protein Transport; Viral Proteins
TL;DR:
It is suggested that the NLS shared by all three BgDV1 capsid proteins drives the trafficking of the newly-synthesized proteins into the nucleus, while the NES may play a role in the export of the Newly-assembled BgV1 particles into the cytoplasm through nuclear pore complexes.

Estimating the Effectiveness of Imidacloprid When Used to Suppress Transmission of Tomato spotted wilt orthotospovirus in Commercial Agriculture
Journal of Economic Entomology, 111(5), 2024–2031.
author keywords: tomato spotted wilt orthotospovirus; Frankliniella fusca; thrips; imidacloprid; disease suppression
MeSH headings : Animals; Crops, Agricultural / virology; Insect Vectors; Insecticides; Models, Theoretical; Neonicotinoids; Nitro Compounds; Thysanoptera; Tobacco / virology; Tospovirus
TL;DR:
Modeling of TSW incidence as a function of the two most important variables affecting components of pathogen pressure, temperature, and precipitation found a model incorporating imidacloprid's effect as a reduction in pathogen Pressure was found to be more descriptive than models incorporating the effect as the reduction in T SW incidence.

Wild bee abundance declines with urban warming, regardless of floral density
Urban Ecosystems, 21(3), 419–428.
TL;DR:
Bee abundance declined by about 41% per °C urban warming, and temperature was among the best predictors of bee abundance and community composition, and local impervious surface and floral density were also important predictors, although only large bees appeared to benefit from high floral density.

Wicked evolution: Can we address the sociobiological dilemma of pesticide resistance?
[Review of ]. SCIENCE, 360(6390), 728–732.
MeSH headings : Agriculture / economics; Animals; Arthropods / drug effects; Arthropods / genetics; Crops, Agricultural / microbiology; Crops, Agricultural / parasitology; Drug Resistance; Herbicides; Insecticides; Pest Control / economics; Pest Control / methods; Plant Weeds / drug effects; Plant Weeds / genetics
TL;DR:
Current evidence suggests that insect and weed evolution may outstrip the authors' ability to replace outmoded chemicals and other control mechanisms, and it is necessary to address the mix of ecological, genetic, economic, and sociopolitical factors that prevent implementation of sustainable pest management practices.
