Lepidoptera (Crambidae, Noctuidae, and Pyralidae) injury on corn containing pure single and pyramided Bt traits and non-Bt hybrids compared to a refuge blend with non-Bt and pyramided Bt hybrids, in the southern United States
J. Econ. Entomol, 108(1), 157–165.
author keywords: blended refuge; structured refuge; Helicoverpa zea; Spodoptera frugiperda
MeSH headings : Agriculture / methods; Animals; Bacillus thuringiensis Toxins; Bacterial Proteins; Endotoxins; Hemolysin Proteins; Herbivory; Lepidoptera; Spodoptera
TL;DR:
Both single and pyramided Bt traits were effective against southwestern corn borer, sugarcane borers, and lesser cornstalk borer and hybrid plants containing Cry1F×Cry1Ab within the pyramides Cry1f×Cry 1Ab blended refuge treatment had significantly less kernel damage than non-Bt structured refuge treatments.

2015 journal article
How inhibiting nitrification affects nitrogen cycle and reduces environmental impacts of anthropogenic nitrogen input
GLOBAL CHANGE BIOLOGY, 21(3), 1249–1257.
author keywords: cost-benefit analysis; ecosystem services; N2O emission; NH3 emission; nitrogen fertilizer; nitrogen leaching; nitrogen management; NO emission
MeSH headings : Ecosystem; Environment; Fertilizers / analysis; Nitrification; Nitrogen / metabolism; Soil / chemistry
TL;DR:
The findings showed that NIs could create a win-win scenario that reduces the negative impact of N leaching and greenhouse gas production, while increases the agricultural output, and NI's potential negative impacts should be fully considered before large-scale application.

Habitat and species identity, not diversity, predict the extent of refuse consumption by urban arthropods
GLOBAL CHANGE BIOLOGY, 21(3), 1103–1115.
Contributors: E. Youngsteadt n, R. Henderson n, A. Savage n, A. Ernst n, R. Dunn n & S. Frank n
author keywords: ants; arthropods; biodiversity; ecosystem service; hurricane; urban food waste; urbanization
MeSH headings : Animals; Arthropods / physiology; Biodiversity; Cities; Ecosystem; Feeding Behavior; Food Chain; New York City; Solid Waste / analysis; Species Specificity; Vertebrates / physiology
TL;DR:
The results suggest that species identity and habitat may be more relevant than diversity for predicting urban ecosystem services, even small green spaces such as street medians that may complement those of larger habitat patches across the urban landscape.

GLOBAL CHANGE BIOLOGY, 21(1), 97–105.
Contributors: E. Youngsteadt n, A. Dale n, A. Terando n, R. Dunn n & S. Frank n
author keywords: Acer rubrum; climate change; global warming; herbivory; historical comparison; Melanaspis tenebricosa; urban ecosystem; urban warming
MeSH headings : Acer / parasitology; Animals; Cities; Climate Change / history; Hemiptera / physiology; Herbivory / physiology; History, 19th Century; History, 20th Century; Population Density; Southeastern United States; Temperature; Trees / parasitology; Urbanization
TL;DR:
Scale insects reached their highest densities in the city, but abundance peaked at similar temperatures in urban and historical datasets and tracked temperature on a decadal scale, suggesting cities may be an appropriate but underused system for developing and testing hypotheses about biological effects of climate change.

A mutant ('lab strain') of the hyperthermophilic archaeon Pyrococcus furiosus, lacking flagella, has unusual growth physiology
EXTREMOPHILES, 19(2), 269–281.
author keywords: Pyrococcus furiosus; Hyperthermophile; Archaeon; Growth physiology; Flagella
TL;DR:
It is indicated that flagella play a key role, beyond motility, in the growth physiology of P. furiosus and, unlike the WT, showed minimal evidence of exopolysaccharide-based cell aggregation in post-exponential phase.

A hybrid synthetic pathway for butanol production by a hyperthermophilic microbe
METABOLIC ENGINEERING, 27, 101–106.
author keywords: Butanol; Biofuels; Hyperthermophile; Module; Hybrid; Pathway
MeSH headings : 1-Butanol / metabolism; Acetyl Coenzyme A / genetics; Acetyl Coenzyme A / metabolism; Metabolic Engineering / methods; Thermoanaerobacterium / genetics; Thermoanaerobacterium / metabolism
TL;DR:
A synthetic metabolic pathway assembled from genes obtained from three different sources for conversion of acetyl-CoA to 1-butanol was demonstrated near 70°C in a microorganism that grows optimally near 100°C, and the module could also be used in thermophiles capable of degrading plant biomass.

TL;DR:
4-coumaroyl and caffeoyl shikimic acids are inhibitors of Ptr4CL3 and Ptr 4CL5, which can reduce lignin content in a number of plant species and play significant regulatory roles when these inhibitors accumulate.

The Influence of Habitat Manipulations on Beneficial Ground-Dwelling Arthropods in a Southeast US Organic Cropping System
ENVIRONMENTAL ENTOMOLOGY, 44(1), 114–121.
author keywords: habitat manipulation; Amara cupreolata; Megacephala carolina; Araneae; Collembola
MeSH headings : Agriculture / methods; Animals; Arthropods; Biodiversity; Crops, Agricultural; Ecosystem; North Carolina; Population Density
TL;DR:
The results suggest that the activity—density of these organisms were instead determined by a combination of in-field characteristics, such as crop type, weed management practices, and within-field resources, along with the diversity of crop type in neighboring fields and the availability of other resources in the area.
