Novel mechanism of thrips suppression by Cry51Aa2.834_16 Bt toxin expressed in cotton
PEST MANAGEMENT SCIENCE, 76(4), 1492–1499.
author keywords: crop pests; Frankliniella fusca; Frankliniella occidentalis; Gossypium hirsutum; MON 88702
MeSH headings : Animals; Bacillus thuringiensis / genetics; Bacterial Proteins; Endotoxins / genetics; Female; Gossypium; Hemolysin Proteins; Insecticides; Plants, Genetically Modified; Thysanoptera
TL;DR:
It is shown that MON 88702 was associated with reduced oviposition via behavioral avoidance to the toxin, which is a novel mechanism of action for pest control for a Bt crop plant.

Improved transgenic sexing strains for genetic control of the Australian sheep blow fly Lucilia cuprina using embryo-specific gene promoters
MOLECULAR GENETICS AND GENOMICS, 295(2), 287–298.
author keywords: Sterile insect technique; Transgenic; Lucilia cuprina; Genetic control; Cellularization gene
MeSH headings : Animals; Animals, Genetically Modified; Australia; Diptera / genetics; Diptera / pathogenicity; Embryonic Development / genetics; Female; Insect Proteins / genetics; Male; Pest Control, Biological; Promoter Regions, Genetic; Sheep / genetics; Sheep / parasitology; Tetracycline / biosynthesis
TL;DR:
These new embryonic L. cuprina transgenic sexing strains hold great promise for genetic control programs and the system reported here might also be transferable to other major calliphorid livestock pests such as the New World screwworm, Cochliomyia hominivorax.

Biological controls over the abundances of terrestrial ammonia oxidizers
GLOBAL ECOLOGY AND BIOGEOGRAPHY, 29(2), 384–399.
author keywords: ammonia-oxidizing archaea; ammonia-oxidizing bacteria; competition; meta-analysis; nitrification; soil C; N ratio
TL;DR:
This study provides convincing evidence illustrating that relative carbon to nitrogen availability can predominantly affect the abundances of AOA and AOB, and validate that biotic competition among plants, heterotrophic microbes and ammonia oxidizers for substrate N is the predominant control upon AOAand AOB abundances.

AI Assistants and the Paradox of Internal Automaticity
NEUROETHICS, 13(3), 303–310.
author keywords: AI assistants; AI ethics; Autonomy; Internal automaticity; External automaticity; Cognition
TL;DR:
It is argued that there are reasons why the authors should accept a large degree of internal automaticity, that it is actually essential to their sense of autonomy, and as such it is ethically good; however, the same does not go for external automaticity.

Grazing simplifies soil micro-food webs and decouples their relationships with ecosystem functions in grasslands
GLOBAL CHANGE BIOLOGY, 26(2), 960–970.
author keywords: functional groups; livestock grazing; Mongolian Plateau; soil carbon mineralization; soil environment; soil nitrogen mineralization; soil substrates; trophic levels
MeSH headings : Animals; Biomass; Ecosystem; Food Chain; Grassland; Herbivory; Soil
TL;DR:
The results suggest that changes in soil micro-food webs resulting from livestock grazing are poor predictors of soil C and N processes at regional scale, and that the relationships between soil food webs and ecosystem functions depend on spatial scales and land-use changes.

Integration of remote‐weed mapping and an autonomous spraying unmanned aerial vehicle for site‐specific weed management
Pest Management Science.
author keywords: UAV; precision agriculture; site-specific; off-target; droplet; pesticide application; resistance; detection
MeSH headings : Agriculture; Plant Weeds; Remote Sensing Technology; Weed Control
TL;DR:
The UAV‐IS has the potential to improve the detection and control of weed escapes to reduce/delay herbicide resistance evolution and provide a new strategy for integrated pest management programs to improve efficiency and efficacy while reducing the amount of pesticide being applied.

Arthropod carrion influences plant choice, oviposition, and cannibalism by a specialist predator on a sticky plant
ECOLOGICAL ENTOMOLOGY, 45(2), 182–189.
author keywords: Arthropod-plant interactions; necrophagy; phylloplane resource; plant-provided food; scavenging; trichomes
TL;DR:
Specialist predatory arthropods able to manoeuvre on plants covered in trichomes facultatively scavenge on the alternative food resource, increasing their abundance and reducing plant damage by herbivores.

MIMIX: A Bayesian Mixed-Effects Model for Microbiome Data From Designed Experiments
JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN STATISTICAL ASSOCIATION, 115(530), 599–609.
author keywords: Continuous shrinkage prior; Factor analysis; Microbiome; Mixed model; Nutrient Network; OTU abundance data
TL;DR:
A novel Bayesian mixed-effects model that exploits cross-taxa correlations within the microbiome, a model the authors call microbiome mixed model (MIMIX), tailored to large microbiome experiments using a combination of Bayesian factor analysis to efficiently represent dependence between taxa and Bayesian variable selection methods to achieve sparsity.
