An assessment of the contact rates between individuals when movement is modelled by a correlated random walk
Understanding how individuals come into contact with each other is important in many fields from biology and ecology to robotics and physics....
-
Caterpillar movement mediates spatially local interactions and determines the relationship between population density and contact
BackgroundWhile interactions in nature are inherently local, ecological models often assume homogeneity across space, allowing for generalization...
-
Individual-level patterns of resource selection do not predict hotspots of contact
Contact among animals is crucial for various ecological processes, including social behaviors, disease transmission, and predator–prey interactions....
-
Macroalgae and zoanthids require physical contact to harm corals in Southwestern Atlantic
Space can be limited in reef ecosystems leading to competitive interactions among sessile organisms. Some competitive mechanisms can require physical...

Droplet size and surface hydrophobicity enhance bacterial plasmid transfer rates in microscopic surface wetness
Conjugal plasmids constitute a major engine for horizontal gene transfer in bacteria, and are key drivers of the spread of antibiotic resistance,...
-
Archaeal histone-based chromatin structures regulate transcription elongation rates
Many archaea encode and express histone proteins to compact their genomes. Archaeal and eukaryotic histones share a near-identical fold that permits...

Listeria monocytogenes detection on food contact surfaces: suitability of different swab materials
The high binding capacity of Listeria monocytogenes to food contact surfaces increases the risk of cross-contamination in food. In addition to...

Impact of lactic acid bacteria strains against Listeria monocytogenes biofilms on various food-contact surfaces
Listeria monocytogenes is one of the most important foodborne pathogens, causing listeriosis, a disease characterized by high mortality rates. This...

Comparative fumigant and contact toxicities of single, binary and tertiary combinations of three plant essential oils against Aphis gossypii Glover (Hemiptera: Aphididae)
In this study, three plant essential oils extracted from thyme ( Thymus vulgaris L.), orange ( Citrus sinensis L.) and laurel ( Laurus nobilis L.),...

Interaction of surfactants with Prunus laurocerasus leaf surfaces: time-dependent recovery of wetting contact angles depends on physico-chemical properties of surfactants
BackgroundSurfactants are added to spray solutions because they significantly improve foliar uptake of active ingredients (AIs) into the leaves. It...

Evaluating the quality of surface carbonized woods modified with a contact charring or a gas flame charring technique
Surface carbonization, or charring, of wooden exterior cladding boards is a modification method that creates a fully organic barrier layer in...

Effects of imidacloprid on Orius similis: assessing growth, development, and reproduction through age-stage two-sex life table analysis under contact and stomach toxicity treatments
Although the use of chemical insecticides to control Frankliniella occidentalis is widespread, it may also affect its dominant predators such as Orius...
