Two centuries of Begonia exploration in the Philippines: Progress and challenges associated with a megadiverse genus in the Global South

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Megadiverse genera represent the highest concentration of plant diversity, but these plants are also located primarily in countries in the Global South where huge gaps in botanical knowledge remain. This study summarized two centuries of Begonia collection records in the Philippines to show how historical events coincide with collection and taxonomic ...

The potential global distribution of Drosophila suzukii, including consideration of irrigation and Australian host cropping areas

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
This CLIMEX model of Drosophila suzukii fits the global distribution very well and includes irrigation effects. It indicates that D. suzukii could threaten all Australian berry and cherry production areas if introduced. Abstract BACKGROUND Spotted wing drosophila, Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura), is a major fruit fly pest of cherries and berries across ...

Pesticide use in integrated pest and pollinator management framework to protect pollinator health

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 4, Page 1691-1696, April 2025.
Integrated pest management (IPM) emphasizes non‐chemical methods, with pesticides as a last resort, while integrated pest and pollinator management (IPPM) integrates pollinator health into pest control strategies. Abstract Agricultural pesticides have historically been a critical tool in controlling pests and diseases, preventing widespread suffering ...

Effectiveness Assessment of Underwater Area Cruise Based on the ADC Method

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Underwater area surveillance plays a crucial role in upholding national security, safeguarding strategic interests, and mitigating potential threats. Despite its significance, a notable gap persists in the availability of comprehensive models for assessing its effectiveness.

Scale dependence in remotely sensed biodiversity: Leveraging continental‐scale imaging spectroscopy from the National Ecological Observatory Network

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Imaging spectroscopy enables large‐scale biodiversity assessment, yet spectral diversity metrics are scale dependent. Across 15 NEON ecosystems, we find that spectral richness increases sub‐linearly from 3600 m2 to 4 km2, whereas spectral divergence shows weak or inconsistent scaling with area, underscoring the importance of scale‐aware interpretation ...

How Passive Acoustic and Traditional Monitoring Estimate Bird Diversity Across Habitats

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
We compared traditional bird counts (PC) with passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) in a heterogeneous Alpine landscape. PAM recorded twice as many species, with a strong correlation between species richness and the bird counts (rs = 0.71); however, there were significant differences depending on habitat type.

Tree cover and geographic origin of tree species drive bird functional groups in urban environments

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Urban trees provide habitat and resources for wild species in cities and support biodiversity provision of ecosystem services, among which insect control is particularly relevant. Predators of insects are promoted by the presence of trees and, in turn, may enhance biosecurity of the trees.

Biology, ecology, and conservation of the Italian hare Lepus corsicanus: a review

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
The Italian hare Lepus corsicanus, an endemic lagomorph of Italy, serves as a critical case study in evolutionary biology and conservation. Once taxonomically debated, modern genetic and morphological analyses confirm its status as a distinct Pleistocene lineage restricted to the central‐southern Italian Peninsula and Sicily.

Changes of Potential Suitable Areas for Lynx Under Climate Change in Mohe Area, Daxing'anling Mountains, China 气候变化下中国大兴安岭漠河地区猞猁潜在适宜区的变化

open access: yesWildlife Letters, EarlyView.
Climate change drives shifts in suitable habitats for Eurasian lynx and its prey (hare, roe deer) in Mohe, Daxing'anling Mountains. Under RCP scenarios, moderate warming (RCP4.5) promotes substantial habitat expansion, while high‐emission conditions (RCP8.5) lead to strong expansion in the 2050s but slower gains and partial contraction by the 2070s ...
