Subject:
Drosophila suzukii; diet; ecological differentiation; evolution; females; fruit flies; invasive species; oviposition; raspberries
Abstract:
... Among insects, female oviposition preferences are critical to understanding the evolutionary dynamics between herbivores and hosts. Previous studies have shown than in Drosophila, resource use has a strong genetic basis, although there is evidence that preferences are adaptable given isolation from ancestral hosts. Given the high degree of adaptability and behavioral plasticity of invasive species ...

Abstract:
... Exposure to endocrine disruptors (EDCs) could disrupt thyroid hormone homeostasis. However, human epidemiological studies reported inconsistent observations, and scarce information on the effect of a mixture of chemicals. The aim of the present study was to examine the associations of multiple chemicals with thyroid hormones among adults from China. We measured serum levels of thyroid hormones and ...

Abstract:
... Sb(III) is often detected in contaminated soil and groundwater. Hence, high-efficiency technology is needed. In this study, bimetallic organic frameworks were used for the first time to immobilize Sb(III) from contaminated soil and groundwater. The materials were synthesized by the hydrothermal method. Both ends of the prepared material were hexagonal tip rods, and the length became shorter as the ...

Abstract:
... In this study, the effects of soluble readily biodegradable COD (sCOD) and particulate slowly biodegradable COD (pCOD) on anammox process were investigated. The results of the long-term experiment indicated that a low sCOD/N ratio of 0.5 could accelerate the anammox and denitrification activity, to reach as high as 84.9%±2.8% TN removal efficiency. Partial denitrification-anammox (PDN/anammox) and ...

Abstract:
... Traditional air quality data have a spatial resolution of 1 km or above, making it challenging to resolve detailed air pollution exposure in complex urban areas. Combining urban morphology, dynamic traffic emission, regional and local meteorology, physicochemical transformations in air quality models using big data fusion technology, an ultra-fine resolution modeling system was developed to provid ...

Abstract:
... Citrate (Ct) was chosen as a typical chelator used in the Fe²⁺−peroxydisulfate (PDS) process to improve sludge dewaterability. The PDS−Fe²⁺−Ct process exhibited better performance in sludge dewatering than PDS−Fe²⁺. Specifically, with a PDS dosage of 1.2mmol/g VS, the molar ratio of PDS/Fe²⁺ and Ct/Fe²⁺ were 4:5 and 1:4, respectively, the capillary suction time decreased from 155.8 to 24.8sec, and ...

Abstract:
... Soluble microbial products (SMPs), dissolved organic matter excreted by activated sludge, can interact with antibiotics in wastewater and natural water bodies. Interactions between SMPs and antibiotics can influence antibiotic migration, transformation, and toxicity but the mechanisms involved in such interactions are not fully understood. In this study, integrated spectroscopy approaches were use ...
