Planning for the future, algae bloom dynamics in water management and ecosystem restoration efforts
Eutrophication and chronic harmful algal blooms (HABs) are a challenge for ecosystem managers and restoration planners. Drivers of HABs include nutrient availability, temperature patterns, atmospheric conditions, rainfall-runoff relationships, and lake ...

T(w)o Patch or Not T(w)o Patch: A Novel Biocontrol Model
ABSTRACT A number of top‐down biocontrol models have been proposed where the introduced predators' efficacy is enhanced via the provision of additional food (AF). However, if the predator has a pest‐dependent monotone functional response, pest extinction is unattainable. In the current manuscript, we propose a model where a predator with pest‐dependent

Abstract Southern corn leaf blight (SCLB) is caused by the fungal pathogen Bipolaris maydis (syn. Cochliobolus heterostrophus Drechsler) and is a common disease of fall crops of sweet corn. Phenotyping for SCLB resistance is performed through visual scoring, which is subjective and may limit genetic gain for this quantitative trait.

Modulating Hunting Atmospheres: Mud and Material Flows Beyond the Kill
ABSTRACT This article argues that hunting is not a bounded event but a materially redistributed atmosphere that extends beyond the kill and across field, truck, clothing, and home. Drawing on long‐term ethnographic fieldwork with wild boar hunters in Uruguay, I show how mud, odors, blood, and bodily residues carry the sensory, affective, and material ...

A Non‐Destructive Method for Sex Identification in a Tubuliferan Thrips
Accurate sex identification of the biological control agent Pseudophilothrips ichini Hood (Thysanoptera: Phlaeothripidae) is a useful tool for colony management and experimental applications in biological control. Destructive methods of sex identification limit specimen usage, prompting the need for a sex identification method for live thrips.
