Species diversity of different insect families trapped under beer-based volatile fermentation
BMC Chemistry, 2020 Background Insect species composition is an important phenomenon playing a significant role in the ecosystem. Chemical control of insects and pests releases toxic materials to the environment. These chemicals are dangerous to human populations.

Nitrogen acquisition strategy and its effects on invasiveness of a subtropical invasive plant
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 IntroductionPreference and plasticity in nitrogen (N) form uptake are the main strategies with which plants absorb soil N. However, little effort has been made to explore effects of N form acquisition strategies, especially the plasticity, on ...
