Darwin's Naturalization Conundrum in the Azores: Scale‐Dependent Patterns of Arthropod Invasion
ABSTRACT Aim To test the mechanisms governing the assembly of exotic arthropods within endemic‐rich island communities by evaluating Darwin's naturalization conundrum, which predicts that invasion success occurs through either functional dissimilarity from native species (Naturalization Hypothesis) or functional similarity with them (Pre‐adaptation ...

Soil Management Effects on Grapevine Water Uptake Depth in a Mediterranean Vineyard
Stable isotope evidence of vine water uptake depth under spontaneous cover crop and tillage. ABSTRACT In Mediterranean vineyards, soils are often managed with tillage or herbicides to limit weed growth and competition for resources. However, with rising concerns about water scarcity and climate change, cover crops are being reconsidered as sustainable ...

Optimized use of UV‐B light to suppress Western flower thrips in controlled environment tomato crops
Visual representation of study into the use of UV‐B light to simultaneously attract and suppress Western flower thrips in controlled environment crops. Abstract BACKGROUND LEDs (light emitting diodes) are being deployed in controlled environment crop production systems to boost crop growth, manipulate pest behavior, improve performance of natural ...

Abstract Bushfires occur regularly in inland Australia because of the flammability of spinifex (Triodia species). Spinifex and fire are tied together by infertility: the plant is of limited palatability to consumers and accumulates into fuel. Spinifex regrows with cumulative rainfall, and fires recur every couple of decades.

Sporulation Dynamics Among US Calonectria pseudonaviculata Isolates on Infected Boxwood Leaves
21 US Calonectria pseudonaviculata isolates were divided into three groups that differed in sporulation dynamics on detached leaves of Buxus sempervirens, suggesting virulence and transmission variations within the pathogen. ABSTRACT Calonectria pseudonaviculata (Cps), a causal agent of the devastating boxwood blight disease in gardens and landscapes ...

Equilibrium, kinetic, and thermodynamic applications for methylene blue removal using Buxus sempervirens leaf powder as a powerful low-cost adsorbent [PDF]
In this work, methylene blue adsorption using the unconventional, natural, and low-cost adsorbent, Buxus sempervirens (Boxwood) leaf powder (BLP), was studied. Several experiments were conducted for the investigation of different process variables. Also
