Genotype, but Not Climate, Affects the Resistance of Honey Bees (<i>Apis mellifera</i>) to Viral Infections and to the Mite <i>Varroa destructor</i> by Ana K. Ramos-Cuellar, Alvaro De la Mora, Francisca Contreras-Escareño, Nuria Morfin, José M. Tapia-González, José O. Macías-Macías, Tatiana Petukhova, Adriana Correa-Benítez, Ernesto Guzman-Novoa

“…<i>Varroa destructor</i> was significantly more prevalent in colonies of European ancestry (<i>p</i> < 0.05), and the intensity of parasitism by <i>V. destructor</i> or infection by DWV and BQCV was also significantly higher in colonies of European descent than in African descent colonies (<i>p</i> < 0.01), although no genotype–parasite associations were found for <i>N. ceranae</i>. …”

Stratospheric Water Vapor from the Hunga Tonga–Hunga Ha’apai Volcanic Eruption Deduced from COSMIC-2 Radio Occultation by William J. Randel, Benjamin R. Johnston, John J. Braun, Sergey Sokolovskiy, Holger Vömel, Aurelien Podglajen, Bernard Legras

“…The H₂O profiles during the first few days after the eruption show descent of the plume at a rate of ~−1 km/day, likely due to strong radiative cooling (~−10 K/day) induced by high H₂O concentrations; slower descent (~−200 m/day) is observed over the following week as the plume disperses. …”
