Aerial Seeding for Forest and Landscape Restoration: A Systematic Review of Technology, Challenges, and Future Directions

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Land degradation is a critical global challenge, threatening biodiversity, food security, and livelihoods. Ecological restoration has therefore become a priority, with aerial seeding emerging as a key method to address issues of scale, accessibility, and efficiency. By dispersing seeds from aircraft or drones, aerial seeding complements ground‐

Methods for entomological evaluation of insecticide treated bed net trials [PDF]

, 1999
This thesis is divided into 3 parts. The first part reports the effect of community-wide use of bed nets treated with lambdacyhalothrin (10mg/m2), on malaria vector Anopheles gambiae in Southern Sierra Leone. In the first year of the trial, 16 villages were randomly allocated to either remain without treated nets or to receive treated nets for all the ...

Interplay between insecticide-treated bed-nets and mosquito demography: implications for malaria control

Journal of Theoretical Biology, 2016
Although malaria prevalence has witnessed a significant reduction within the past decade, malaria still constitutes a major health and economic problem, especially to low-income countries. Insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) remain one of the primary measures for preventing the malignant disease.

Development and deployment of a risk assessment index as a decision‐support tool for managing whitefly‐transmitted viruses affecting squash

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
A data‐driven framework identified planting date and row cover as dominant drivers of whitefly‐transmitted virus complex (WTVC) risk in squash. Integration into the SquashRx mobile application enables real‐time risk assessment and supports improved decision‐making for integrated pest management.
