Fall armyworm, Spodopterafrugiperda , is a crop pest native to the Americas, which has invaded and spread throughout sub-Saharan Africa within two years. Recent estimates of 20–50% maize yield loss in suggest severe impact on livelihoods. armyworm still infilling its potential range could other continents. In order understand fall armyworm’s year-round, global, distribution, we used evidence effects temperature precipitation life-history, combined with data African distributions construct...
The BIOCAT database of introductions insect biological control agents for the pests was updated to end 2010 include 6158 introductions, using 2384 different against 588 pest species in 148 countries. Of 2007 (32.6 %) led establishment, and 620 (10.1 resulted satisfactory being reported 172 (29.3 species. number has decreased each decade since 1970s, but same period a higher proportion became established contributed successful target pests, countries implementing classical increased.

In developing countries, invasive alien species (IAS) threaten smallholder farmer production and the food security of subsistence growers, but economic impacts are widely under-reported. Here, IAS that mixed maize farming in eastern Africa presented. Maize is important for most smallholders commonly grown with horticultural crops other cereals which collectively provide nutrition income. These also national economies. Estimates five major IAS: Chilo partellus, Lethal Necrosis Disease,...
BACKGROUND:: In response to the evolving nature of potential disasters, both human made and natural, this research identifies predictors individual emergency preparedness compliance with government requests. METHODS:: A survey a nationally representative sample US adults (1629 respondents) revealed which supplies plans they had in place; their perceived level that local health care system; likelihood 7 terrorist 4 naturally occurring events, whether would evacuate home; shelter place at home...
Vegetation community composition and the above- below-ground invertebrate communities are linked intrinsically, though few studies have assessed impact of non-native plants on both these parts together. We evaluated differences in (foliage- ground-dwelling) nine uninvaded plots invaded by annual invasive species Impatiens glandulifera, UK during 2007 2008. Over 139,000 invertebrates were identified into distinct taxa categorised functional feeding groups. The I. glandulifera vegetation was...
Abstract As part of a census the Indian rhinoceros Rhinoceros unicornis survey was conducted to measure extent invasion by neotropical plant mikania Mikania micrantha across major habitats Chitwan National Park important for conservation rhinoceros. Previous work has demonstrated that this fire-adapted can smother and kill native flora such as grasses sapling trees, several which are fodder plants Here, additional studies were on risks anthropogenic factors (natural resource collection...
Liriomyza huidobrensis (Blanchard) is native to South America but has expanded its range and invaded many regions of the world, primarily on flowers a lesser extent horticultural product shipments. As result initial invasion into an area, damage caused usually significant not necessarily sustained. Currently, it economic pest in selected world. Adults cause by puncturing abaxial adaxial leaf surfaces for feeding egg laying sites. Larvae mine parenchyma tissues which can lead leaves drying...

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a chronic and progressive movement disorder with the urgent unmet need for efficient symptomatic therapies fewer side effects. GPR6 an orphan G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) highly restricted expression in dopamine D2-type medium spiny neurons (MSNs) of indirect pathway, striatal brain circuit which shows aberrant hyperactivity PD patients. Potent selective inverse agonists (IAG) were developed starting from low-potency screening hit (EC50 = 43 μM). Herein, we...
The ground state (S0) and lowest energy triplet (T1) surfaces of the parent dioxetane have been extensively explored using various CASSCF active spaces with MP2 corrections in several basis sets. In particular, singlet/triplet surface crossing regions examined spin−orbit coupling energetics computed. computed barrier for ring-opening is 16 kcal mol-1, which lower than experimentally observed threshold (22 mol-1) unsubstituted decomposition. However, topology good agreement experimental...
Cell cycle checkpoint intervention is an effective therapeutic strategy for cancer when applied to patients predisposed respond and the treatment well-tolerated. A critical cell process that could be targeted mitotic (spindle assembly checkpoint) which governs metaphase-to-anaphase transition insures proper chromosomal segregation. The kinase Mps1 was selected explore whether enhancement in genomic instability a viable strategy. basal-a subset of triple-negative breast chosen as model system...
GPR6 is an orphan G-protein–coupled receptor that has enriched expression in the striatopallidal, indirect pathway and medium spiny neurons of striatum. This greatly impacted by loss nigro-striatal dopaminergic Parkinson disease, modulating this neurocircuitry can be therapeutically beneficial. In study, we describe vitro vivo pharmacological characterization (R)-1-(2-(4-(2,4-difluorophenoxy)piperidin-1-yl)-3-((tetrahydrofuran-3-yl)amino)-7,8-dihydropyrido[3,4-b]pyrazin-6(5H)-yl)ethan-1-one...
Abstract Smallholder farmers are the mainstay of agricultural economies sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), where they produce several crops, predominantly centered on maize. productivity remains limited resulting from a range confounding factors, but primary cause is loss pests and diseases, particularly insects. To improve productivity, recommendations for mitigation crop globally include early-warning management systems in-season indigenous pests. There many in temperate regions; however, such...
