Ant Diversity of the Xisha Islands: Community Structure, Exotic Species Colonization, and Ecological Functions in a Tropical Coral Archipelago

Biological Diversity, EarlyView.
The first inventory of ants from the Xisha Islands of the South China Sea was compiled, revealing 21 species: 70% native and 30% exotic. Anthropogenic disturbance primarily drove exotic colonization, whereas island area showed weak positive effects on species richness. Most ants were omnivorous, with key mutualistic and seed‐dispersal roles.

Long‐Term Legacy of Exotic Pioneers: Over Two Decades of Biodiversity Monitoring Reveals Constrained Succession in a Restored Sanitary Landfill

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Long‐term ecological studies are critical for evaluating restoration strategies on challenging sites, such as closed landfills. This study presents a 23‐year biodiversity monitoring program (2000–2023) at the restored Southeast New Territories sanitary landfill in Hong Kong.

Nonconstant Positive Steady States for a Predator–Prey System With Signal‐Dependent Diffusion

Mathematische Nachrichten, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates a highly nonlinear predator–prey reaction–diffusion system featuring signal‐dependent prey diffusion, where the motility of the prey is modulated by a chemical signal released by predators. For unbounded functional responses, we establish the global‐in‐time existence and uniform‐in‐time boundedness of classical ...

The Influence of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Wind Field on the Pesticide Droplet Deposition and Control Effect in Cotton Fields

Agronomy
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) offer significant advantages in agricultural pest control. The present study investigated the influence of rotor-induced wind fields from multirotor UAVs (six-rotor T30, eight-rotor T40, eight-rotor T50, and four-rotor T60)

Host choice and host leaving in Rhopalosiphum padi (Hemiptera: Aphididae) emigrants and repellency of aphid colonies on the winter host [PDF]

, 2000
Host choice and winter-host leaving in emigrants of bird cherry–oat aphid, Rhopalosiphum padi (Linnaeus), were investigated in the laboratory. In settling choice tests, emigrants collected from the winter host, Prunus padus, preferred this plant over ...
