Semi‐Natural Habitats Buffer the Effects of Crop Diversification on Arthropod Pest Control Services in Agricultural LandscapesNARA Subscribed
Crop diversification is a promising strategy to strengthen pest control services in agricultural landscapes. Diversifying crops may limit pests through host crop dilution or by enhancing top‐down control by their enemies. However, crop diversification may also benefit generalist pests through higher resource continuity. Using a large‐scale dataset encompassing 742 landscapes across 13 countries, we assessed the impact of lands...
Constructed value of information (CVoI) is an expert elicitation decision‐analytic tool used to prioritize sources of uncertainty based on their potential to improve decision outcomes if resolved. Despite increased application of CVoI, the robustness of CVoI prioritization of sources of uncertainty relative to differences in expert elicitation and scoring methods has not been evaluated. We engaged a group of species experts in...

Crop mixtures: yield responses to climate and management and impacts on seed and soil chemical composition in a Scottish-based studyNARA Subscribed
Introduction Crop mixtures can be an important part of the toolkit for maintaining crop production while addressing the climate and nature crises. However, uncertainties around some issues may prevent their uptake. Research question This study addressed several uncertainties, specifically the response of mixture yields to climate and management, and the impacts of mixed cropping on seed chemical composition, soil carbon and nu...
The abnormal tumor vasculature can present a barrier to the infiltration of anti-tumor immune cells, which impairs immune surveillance and response to immunotherapy. Here, we show that genetically deleting the epigenetic factor DNA methyltransferase 1 ( Dnmt1 ) in endothelial cells (ECs) reduces angiogenesis while imparting profound changes to the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME), including increased proportions of CD4 + m...
Invasive fungal infections (IFI) are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in hematologic malignancy patients and hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) recipients. Mold cholecystitis has rarely been described. We present a case of disseminated Lomentospora prolificans , that had recrudescence of symptoms with acute cholecystitis. Treatment included a temporary cholecystostomy and administration of the novel antifungal f...
Yield impact of source-sink-regulated senescence in hybrid maize and genetic architecture in exPVP inbredsNARA Subscribed
Prior genetic studies on source-sink-regulated senescence in maize have characterized some genes associated with the trait, but the impact on yield is unknown and the molecular understanding of this trait is still in its infancy. We phenotyped source-sink-regulated senescence in a commercial maize exPVP inbred population and assessed its correlation with yield and other commercially relevant agronomic traits in testcrosses und...
