A Comparative Study of iDNA and airDNA for Biodiversity Assessments in Tropical Forest Fragments
Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 3, May–June 2026.Comparing invertebrate‐derived DNA and airborne eDNA across fragmented tropical forests, we show that iDNA recovers higher vertebrate richness from fewer samples, while airDNA offers greater field reliability. Together, both methods capture functional diversity gradients, supporting a combined approach for agroforestry biodiversity monitoring ...

Effects of Tagetes minuta essencial oil on Lucilia cuprina third instar larvae
Data in Brief, 2019 The activity of Tagetes minuta essential oil (TMEO) was tested against third instar larvae (L3) of the Australian blowfly Lucilia cuprina. We have determined the potential of the T. minuta EO as a new biopesticide candidate. To test this, groups of 20 L3

Sheep blowfly strike: the cost of control in relation to risk
Animal, 2019 Sheep blowfly strike (ovine cutaneous myiasis) is a widespread economic and welfare problem in sheep husbandry in many parts of the world. Strike incidence is determined by a complex interaction of fly abundance, host susceptibility and climate, combined

Neutral delay equations from and for population dynamics
Electronic Journal of Qualitative Theory of Differential Equations, 2008 For a certain class of neutral differential equations it is shown that these equations can serve as population models in the sense that they can be interpreted as special cases or caricatures of the standard Gurtin-MacCamy model for a population ...
