Regional Differences in U.S. Consumer Preferences for Native Woody Shrubs With Varying Aesthetic Characteristics

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Native plants offer a variety of aesthetic (e.g., fall colour, fruit, flowers) and functional benefits (e.g., pollinator friendly, wildlife friendly, water management). How these benefits influence consumer choice and perceived value of native versus introduced plants is not well understood.

The impacts of biological invasions

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

The scaling of seed‐dispersal specialization in interaction networks across levels of organization

Ecography, EarlyView.
Natural ecosystems are characterized by a specialization pattern where few species are common while many others are rare. In ecological networks involving biotic interactions, specialization operates as a continuum at individual, species, and community levels. Theory predicts that ecological and evolutionary factors can primarily explain specialization.

Powerful yet challenging: mechanistic niche models for predicting invasive species potential distribution under climate change

Ecography, EarlyView.
Risk assessments of invasive species present one of the most challenging applications of species distribution models (SDMs) due to the fundamental issues of distributional disequilibrium, niche changes, and truncation. Invasive species often occupy only a fraction of their potential environmental and geographic ranges, as their spatiotemporal dynamics ...

Observations on the seasonal flight activity of the box tree pyralid Cydalima perspectalis (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) in the Rhine-Main Region of Hessia

Journal für Kulturpflanzen, 2017
The seasonal activity of wild populations of the invasive box tree pyralid Cydalima perspectalis Walker (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) was observed between 2012 and 2015 in the Rhine-Main region in Hessia.

The genome sequence of the Box-tree Moth, Cydalima perspectalis (Walker, 1859)

Wellcome Open Research
We present a genome assembly from an individual female Cydalima perspectalis (the Box-tree Moth; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Crambidae). The genome sequence is 483.7 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 32 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the Z and W sex chromosomes. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and

Optimized Parameter Extraction in Triple Diode Solar PV Models Using Kookaburra‐based Dwarf Mongoose Approach

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Improving photovoltaics (PV) system performance through simulation requires accurate PV models. The nonlinear relationship between current and voltage, coupled with incomplete manufacturer data, presents a significant challenge in parameter estimation.

Generalist‐pollinated Arabis alpina exhibits floral scent variation at multiple scales

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Plants that depend on animals for reproduction often use complex floral traits to attract pollinators. Floral scent is recognized as part of the pollinator attraction module and can be shaped by plant‐pollinator interactions. In recent decades, research has started to reveal the dynamic properties of floral scent, identifying patterns of spatial and ...
