Radiation-induced dynamical formation of Floquet-Bloch bands in Dirac Hamiltonians by Yuriko Baba, Vanessa Junk, Wolfgang Hogger, Francisco Domínguez-Adame, Rafael A Molina, Klaus Richter

“…Recent experiments, combing ultrafast strong-field irradiation of surfaces with time- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, allow for monitoring the time-dependent charge carrier dynamics and the build-up of transient sidebands due to the radiation pulses. While these structures are reminiscent of Floquet–Bloch bands, standard Floquet theory is not applicable since it requires a strictly time-periodic driving field. …”

Feeding niches drive different responses to plant defenses in two closely related species of classical biological control herbivores by Jasleen Kaur, Lucia Navia, Emily Kraus, Octavio Menocal, Philip G. Hahn

“…This study explored the interactions between two congeneric specialist herbivores introduced to control Dioscorea bulbifera (air potato) in Florida, USA: Lilioceris cheni (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), primarily a leaf feeder, and L. egena, primarily a bulbil (aerial reproductive structures) feeder. We examined whether foliar herbivory by L. cheni or induced defenses by jasmonic acid (JA) or salicylic acid (SA) influenced L. egena’s feeding behavior and performance on bulbils. …”
