Indirect plant defense may provide economically important pest suppression in sorghum
Laboratory measures of sorghum direct and indirect plant resistance traits aligned with natural enemy recruitment and pest suppression in the field. Abstract BACKGROUND A promising strategy to optimize biological control of insect pests is selecting crop varieties with indirect defense traits.

Links between hail hazard and climate modes of variability across Australia
Climate modes of variability influence hail‐prone atmospheric conditions, but links between these drivers and hail hazard across Australia have not been well constrained. We examine relationships between the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO), Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD), and Southern Annular Mode (SAM) and proxy‐derived hail‐prone days across the ...

Vulnerability of an Endangered Amphibian to Climate‐Change Induced Hydrologic Change
ABSTRACT Climate change significantly affects precipitation patterns at multiple scales, which influences river and other hydrologic flow regimes. However, the impacts of climate‐driven changes to hydrologic regimes on the vulnerability of species associated with riparian areas remain largely unexplored.

ABSTRACT Temporary rivers and streams are characterized by flow cessation and support high biodiversity of both aquatic and terrestrial species. In this study, we analyzed biological and ecological traits of benthic invertebrates to assess the ecological resilience and resistance of an intermittent river in Central Italy.
