Fight or flight alternative mating tactics may explain the iconic male polymorphism of the European stag beetle by Daniele Giannetti, Enrico Schifani, Enrico Rolli, Emanuele Fior, Benedetta Pasquali, Alessandro Campanaro, Donato A. Grasso

“…Flight aggregations occur earlier in the season and in sites with sparser canopy cover as compared to ground fight aggregations, but most importantly, smaller males tend to prevail due to their greater agility in flight. Competition between males is crucial for reproductive success in this species, and alternative mating tactics involving flight were unknown in beetles, advocating for further research on the ecology and evolution of the iconic male polymorphism of stag beetles.…”

Economic and environmental impacts of stacked transgenic events on soybean and corn by Juan Lorente Estrada, Miguel Vassallo Muniz, Federico García Suárez

“…While the soybean varieties with stacked events did not have differences in yield, a decrease in the entries to field due to insecticide applications was observed, which does not compensate for the higher cost of the seed. …”

Functional Assessment of Rural Counties Under the Production–Living–Ecological Framework: Evidence from Guangdong, China by Hongping Lian, Yuedong Zhang, Xuezhen Xiong, Wenjing Han

“…Living functions continue to decline due to population mobility and imbalanced public services. (2) Structural transformation of rural function types occurred: Weakly integrated counties decreased (2010–2019), dual function type counties (production–ecological and living–ecological) significantly increased, and ecology-dominant counties predominated, highlighting ecological polarization under policy interventions. (3) Functional evolution is driven by terrain gradients, policy regulation, and industrial relocation. …”

HUMAN CAPITAL IN ROMANIA - BETWEEN CAPITALISATION AND DISSIPATION - A RETROSPECTIVE APPROACH OVER THE LAST CENTURY by Valentina VASILE, Ana-Maria CIUHU, Elena BĂNICĂ

“…A century of human capital evolution in Romania, from the labour market perspective, meant the transition from the strictly quantitative approach, namely from the labour force / labour resources (due to the emergence of the unemployment phenomenon, but also the industrial relations development) to the integrative human capital one (tangible and intangible) in which skills(professional and those so called „soft”) and lifelong learning are associated with technology transfer while decent and efficient employment becomes conditionality to company efficiency. …”
