Use of Aluminum-Foil and Oat-Straw Mulches for Controlling Aster Leafhopper, \u3ci\u3eMacrosteles Fascifrons\u3c/i\u3e (Homoptera: Cicadellidae), and Aster Yellows in Carrots. [PDF]
Aluminum-foil and oat-straw mulches significantly (P \u3c 0.05) reduced aster leafhopper numbers on carrots compared to an untreated control and a malathion spray treatment during the first half of the growing season.

Evidence That Metapopulation Dynamics Maintain a Species' Range Limit
The metapopulation hypothesis for species range limits posits that a range limit may be imposed by subtle variation in rates of either patch colonisation or extinction. Using a multi‐year survey across ~900 km of the Pacific coast of the USA, we found evidence for key predictions made by the metapopulation hypothesis using coastal dune endemic ...
