A New Dataset and Comparative Study for Aphid Cluster Detection and Segmentation in Sorghum Fields [PDF]
arXivAphid infestations are one of the primary causes of extensive damage to wheat and sorghum fields and are one of the most common vectors for plant viruses, resulting in significant agricultural yield losses. To address this problem, farmers often employ the inefficient use of harmful chemical pesticides that have negative health and environmental ...

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Microorganism‐released metabolites, proteins, or toxins modulate plant‐based targets to regulate physiological processes such as phytohormone and nutrition balance and stress resistance. Microbes that affect plant physiological processes regulate the visual, olfactory, and gustatory cues associated with plants to attract or repel insect herbivores and ...

Molecular Ecology Resources, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Widespread insect decline necessitates the development and use of standardized protocols for regular monitoring. These methods have to be rapid, efficient and cost‐effective to allow for large‐scale implementation. Many insect sampling and molecular methods have been developed.

Why aphids are not pests in cacao? An approach based on a predator-prey model with aging [PDF]
arXivWe studied a mean-field predator-prey model with aging to simulate the \mbox{interaction} between aphids (\textit{Toxoptera aurantii}) and syrphid larvae in \mbox{cacao} farms in Ilheus, Bahia. Based on the classical predator-prey model, we \mbox{propose} a system of differential equations with three rate equations. \mbox{Unlike} the original

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.Investigating the ultimate factors that underpin the impacts of ski‐pistes on alpine species is crucial to identify concrete mitigation strategies. This is urgently needed given that winter sports are expanding in mountain ranges worldwide. We evaluated the impacts of ski‐pistes on the foraging behaviour of the white‐winged snowfinch, an iconic alpine ...
