Antagonist Action of Endophytic Metarhizium anisopliae Isolates on Development, Reproduction, and Host Selection of Grass Bug in Bermudagrass.

To understand the interactions of entomopathogenic fungi with forage plants and their influence on associated herbivorous, we evaluated the influence of endophytic colonization with three isolates (CEPAF_ENT 25, CEPAF_ENT 27, and IBCB 425) of Metarhizium anisopliae on Cynodon dactylon, regarding the biological and behavioral aspects of Collaria scenica, an emerging sucking pest in pastoral systems in Brazil. The application of suspensions at the base of plant (drench) was effective in promoting endophytic colonization, especially in the roots, with emphasis on isolates CEPAF_ENT25 and CEPAF_ENT27. Despite the significant reduction in damage caused by C.

Trust in scientists and their role in society across 68 countries.

Science is crucial for evidence-based decision-making. Public trust in scientists can help decision makers act on the basis of the best available evidence, especially during crises. However, in recent years the epistemic authority of science has been challenged, causing concerns about low public trust in scientists.

Perceptions of science, science communication, and climate change attitudes in 68 countries - the TISP dataset.

Science is integral to society because it can inform individual, government, corporate, and civil society decision-making on issues such as public health, new technologies or climate change. Yet, public distrust and populist sentiment challenge the relationship between science and society. To help researchers analyse the science-society nexus across different geographical and cultural contexts, we undertook a cross-sectional population survey resulting in a dataset of 71,922 participants in 68 countries.

Is self-reported symptom duration in individuals with patellofemoral pain an accurate measure? An observational longitudinal study.

Background: Although self-reported symptom duration of individuals with patellofemoral pain (PFP) is usually assessed for clinical and research purposes, its accuracy has never been investigated.

Objectives: We followed up individuals with PFP over 15 months to determine the agreement between self-reported symptom duration and calculated symptom duration.

Methods: Self-reported symptom duration of 39 participants was assessed at baseline and re-assessed at follow-up.
