Stem solidness as an important factor for wheat protection from European wheat stem sawfly (<i>Cephus pygmaeus</i> L.) in Altai by S. B. Lepekhov, V. A. Petin, M. V. Chebatareva

“…Stem solidness negatively correlated with wheat stem sawfly infestation (Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient was rs  = –0.77 in 2019 and rs  = –0.80 in 2020). Sister lines with a solid stem had significantly shorter plant height (–5 cm), less kernels per spikelet (–0.11 kernels), 1000 grain weight (–1.7 g) and grain weight per spike (–0.08 g), but higher grain weight per tiller spike (+0.11 g), compared to sister lines with a hollow stem averaged over two years. …”

Parasites specific to centipedes form a new major lineage of terrestrial gregarines by Tatiana S. Miroliubova, Kirill V. Mikhailov, Timur G. Simdyanov, Vladimir V. Aleoshin, Đinh Thế Dũng, Aleksandra I. Kudriavkina

“…Phylogenetic analyses with combined SSU, 5.8S and LSU rDNA dataset support the previously proposed separation of Trichorhynchus to the Trichorhynchidae based on morphology and recover the dactylophorids and trichorhynchids as sister groups in a monophyletic clade. This clade appears sister to the clade of the Actinocephaloidea and Stylocephaloidea, and represents a new major lineage of terrestrial gregarines that we designate as a new superfamily Dactylophoroidea.…”

Dorothy Wordsworth as Travel Writer: The 1798 Hamburgh Journal by Magdalena Ożarska

“… The Journal of a Visit to Hamburgh and of the Journey from Hamburgh to Goslar (known under the joint title of The Hamburgh Journal) was written in 1798 by Dorothy Wordsworth, sister to Romantic poet William Wordsworth. My interest is in the ways in which the feminine affects the writer's perception of a foreign com- munity and emotional expression of experiences related thereto, contributing to a feminine modification of 18th-century travel writing standards. …”
