Special delivery: A hardwood‐killing bark beetle vectors its unusual symbiote among host trees by Debra L. Wertman, Richard C. Hamelin, Allan L. Carroll

“…Abstract In mutualistic symbioses with fungi, herbivorous insects such as bark beetles (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae) gain access to resources that are unavailable in the absence of fungal mutualists, while fungi benefit from insect‐vectored dispersal. The most well‐studied mutualists of tree‐killing bark beetles in conifer systems are certain ophiostomatoid fungi (Ascomycota: Ophiostomatales and Microascales) that benefit beetles through their nutritional and phytopathogenic activities. …”

Corrosion rate prediction for long-distance submarine pipelines based on MWIWOA-SVM by Zhengshan LUO, Haipeng LYU, Jihao LUO

“…ObjectiveTo ensure the safe operation of long-distance submarine oil and gas pipelines, it is essential to enhance the prediction accuracy of their internal corrosion rates. Most existing models rely on Support Vector Machine (SVM), which has limitations including low convergence accuracy, unbalanced optimization, and a tendency to get stuck in local optima. …”
