CRISPR-based diagnostics detects invasive insect pests
Molecular Ecology Resources, 2023 AbstractRapid identification of organisms is essential across many biological and medical disciplines, from understanding basic ecosystem processes and how organisms respond to environmental change, to disease diagnosis and detection of invasive pests. CRISPR-based diagnostics offers a novel and rapid alternative to other identification methods and can

Tree diversity regulates forest pest invasion [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2019 Nonnative pests often cause cascading ecological impacts, leading to detrimental socioeconomic consequences; however, how plant diversity may influence insect and disease invasions remains unclear. High species diversity in host communities may promote pest invasions by providing more niches (i.e., facilitation), but it can also diminish invasion ...

International Journal of Applied Earth Observations and Geoinformation, 2021 Pine wilt disease (PWD) is a global destructive threat to forests, having caused extreme damage in China. Therefore, the establishment of an effective method to accurately monitor and map the infection stage by PWD is imperative. Unmanned aerial vehicle (

Thermal aerial culling for the control of vertebrate pest populations
Scientific Reports, 2023 Helicopter-based shooting is an effective management tool for large vertebrate pest animals. However, animals in low-density populations and/or dense habitat can be difficult to locate visually. Thermal-imaging technology can increase detections in these

Early detection of pine wilt disease tree candidates using time-series of spectral signatures
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Pine wilt disease (PWD), caused by pine wood nematode (PWN), poses a tremendous threat to global pine forests because it can result in rapid and widespread infestations within months, leading to large-scale tree mortality.
