Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.Predation methods vary widely in their ability to quantify biological control. Estimating predation rates (the number of prey killed per predator per time unit) is crucial. Combining predation rates with predator abundance yields real‐time field estimates of pests consumed.

Decoding Cities to Model, Assess and Redesign them as Complex Urban Systems [PDF]
, 2019 The complexity of cities presents a key challenge in being able to ‘decode‘ and subsequently measure or describe them. Adding to these challenges is the transdisciplinary nature of city design which largely accords to disciplinary silos ...

Insects and Survival: A Review of Primary and Secondary Defense Strategies
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.Based on a review of three decades of literature, insect defense mechanisms are classified into primary (I) and secondary (II) mechanisms of behavioral, morphological, and chemical nature. These mechanisms have been recorded in 22 (I) and 20 (II) orders, respectively.

A refinement of Rasmussen's s-invariant
, 2013 In a previous paper we constructed a spectrum-level refinement of Khovanov homology. This refinement induces stable cohomology operations on Khovanov homology. In this paper we show that these cohomology operations commute with cobordism maps on Khovanov

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.Using a model that translates qualitative prey detection data (presence/absence in predator gut contents) into quantitative predation rates, we estimate species‐specific diets of nine carabid species across three cropping contexts (wheat, sugar beet, and fodder beet) for five prey types.

Scalable Greedy Algorithms for Transfer Learning
, 2016 In this paper we consider the binary transfer learning problem, focusing on how to select and combine sources from a large pool to yield a good performance on a target task.

Emerging experimental and bioinformatic approaches in RNA interference‐based pest control research
Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.Double‐stranded RNA (dsRNA) visualization, RNA‐induced silencing complex (RISC)‐bound sRNA‐seq and RNA degradomics allow investigating dsRNA uptake and processing, guide small interfering RNA selection and RISC‐mediated target mRNA cleavages. Transcriptomic and proteomic profiles of genome‐wide responses to dsRNA, including off‐target and compensatory ...

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The rhizosphere harbours critical plant‐herbivore interactions often mediated by small lipophilic molecules (SLMs). Despite the agricultural importance of many soil‐dwelling insects, surprisingly little is known about chemically mediated belowground crop‐pest interactions. Root and shoot herbivores can influence these interactions by modifying
