Flight Synchrony among the Major Moth Pests of Cranberries in the Upper Midwest, USA
Insects, 2017 The cranberry fruitworm (Acrobasis vaccinii Riley), sparganothis fruitworm (Sparganothis sulfureana Clemens), and blackheaded fireworm (Rhopobota naevana Hübner) are historically significant pests of cranberries (Vaccinium macrocarpon Aiton) in the Upper

Preliminary estimates of mass-loss rates, changes in stable isotope composition, and invertebrate colonisation of evergreen and deciduous leaves in a Waikato, New Zealand, stream. [PDF]
, 1999 Rates of mass loss are important in the choice of tree species used in riparian rehabilitation because leaves that break down fast should contribute to stream food-webs more rapidly than leaves that break down more slowly.

Adaptive Comfort Degree-Days: an index to compare adaptive comfort standards and estimate changes in energy consumption for future UK climates [PDF]
, 2011 This paper introduces the concept of the Adaptive Comfort Degree-Day, a temperature difference/time composite metric, as a means of comparing energy savings from Adaptive Comfort Model standards by quantifying the extent to which the temperature limits ...

The Impact of Data Granularity of Indoor Temperature Measurements on the Calculation of Degree Days
Environmental and Climate Technologies, 2021 Degree-days are to normalise energy consumption data and furthermore can generate forecasting predictions for energy demand being used to compare between different properties across different location and years. The base temperature is the main factor to
