Macrophytes promote aquatic insect conservation in artificial ponds
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems"
DOI: 10.1002/aqc.3157
Abstract: Farmland ponds promote regional aquatic biodiversity; however, optimally managing these ponds requires knowledge on how the biodiversity differs between ponds across catchments with different land uses. This study investigated the response of macrophytes, both those… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/arch.21640
Abstract: Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) that have immune responses to various stimuli have been identified in some insects. One type of pathogen-associated molecular pattern, double-stranded RNA (dsRNA), can trigger the RNA interference (RNAi) pathway and immune… read more here.
