Frontiers in ecology and evolution 2022 v.9 no. pp. 1-11
ISSN:
2296-701X
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 ...

... 1,4-butanediol (BDO) is a general-purpose chemical feedstock. BDO tar is produced from the plant and is difficult to dispose of. This study has used the waste-coal-water-slurry (WCWS) technology to dispose of BDO tar and investigated the acceleration mechanism during co-gasification. The results show that the weight loss of BDO-tar-coal-water-slurry (BCWS) is more evident in the range of 200–300 ° ...

Exposure to NO₂ is associated with various metabolic diseases, such as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), diabetes, cardiovascular disease, etc. Abnormal hepatic glycolipid metabolism is a key feature of metabolic diseases. However, few studies provide evidence for the effects of NO₂ inhalation on hepatic glycolipid metabolism. In this study, female ...

Abstract:
... Serval longitudinal investigations have reported relationships between long-term nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) exposure and mortality. In developing countries such as China, however, the cohort evidence was extremely rare. In this study, we aimed to establish the concentration-response relationship between long-term exposure to NO₂ and mortality in Chinese adults. We conducted a prospective cohort study ...

Abstract:
... To characterize the involvement of microorganisms in amino acid degradation and fish quality deterioration, three major grass carp spoilage bacteria were artificially inoculated in amino acid solutions (in-vitro) and grass carp flesh (in-situ). Results showed that Pseudomonas putida largely degraded free amino acids and produced 3.78 mM/100 g ammonia in grass carp flesh, relying on its high amino ...
