Multiple barriers maintain species boundaries in sympatric brood‐site deceptive Gastrodia orchids

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Societal Impact Statement Gastrodia orchids are inconspicuous forest plants that lack chlorophyll and obtain carbon from fungi. Their dull‐colored, ground‐level flowers are often hidden among leaf litter, yet they rely on small flies for pollination.

CSRcalculator: A reproducible framework for understanding plant ecological strategies

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Understanding how plants respond to environmental change is essential for conserving biodiversity and managing ecosystems under climate change. We developed CSRcalculator, an open‐source platform that brings together major competitor, stress‐tolerator, ruderal (CSR) models to make ecological strategy classification accessible, reproducible and scalable.

Soil health assessment using buried cotton underpants with the help of 1000 citizen scientists

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Soil is a vital resource for life on Earth. Although many soils are degraded, societal awareness of soil‐related issues is limited. To highlight soil as a key resource and fascinating study system, we initiated a citizen science project together with 1000 participants investigating soil health across Switzerland using buried cotton underpants.

Modelling the phenology of the grapevine leafhopper Erasmoneura vulnerata

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
This study developed and validated a phenological population dynamics model for Erasmoneura vulnerata, integrating field monitoring and literature data to reproduce observed seasonal patterns across multiple sites. Abstract BACKGROUND Erasmoneura vulnerata (Fitch) (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) is an invasive Nearctic leafhopper that has become a pest of ...

Evaluating larvicide performance against Culicoides sonorensis in semi‐field conditions

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
This study evaluated the efficacy of larvicide products against Culicoides sonorensis populations under controlled semi‐field conditions. Larvicide efficacy against C. sonorensis declined over time, in different environmental conditions. In particular, precipitation and habitat disturbance influenced residual performance. Abstract BACKGROUND Culicoides

Efficacy of deterrents in minimizing nontarget species consumption of bait used for attracting wild pigs (Sus scrofa)

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Evaluated repellents were effective at deterring white‐tailed deer from consuming wild pig bait piles without deterring wild pig bait consumption, although the deterrents were not effective for other nontarget wildlife. Abstract BACKGROUND Wild pigs (Sus scrofa) are an invasive species that cause environmental and agricultural damage.

Automatic insect identification, counting, and monitoring techniques: a review

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Automated insect monitoring increasingly integrates optical, acoustic, infrared, radar, electrostatic, and biosensing technologies with artificial intelligence. No single approach is universally optimal; reliable deployment depends on task‐specific validation, representative datasets, robustness under field conditions, energy autonomy, connectivity ...

Roll‐to‐Roll Processing of Biodegradable Multilayer Barrier Packaging Structures

open access: yesPackaging Technology and Science, EarlyView.
This work demonstrates that novel packaging materials built using biobased and biodegradable materials can be produced in pilot‐scale and converted into functional barrier packaging. The proposed structures are anticipated to make a strong impact in use‐cases where the risk of environmental littering is elevated, such as snacks and take away meals ...

Revisiting bare‐ground evaporation in a high‐resolution numerical weather prediction system

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
An improved method is proposed to parameterize evaporation in numerical weather prediction models. The figure shows dew‐point temperature forecast error (standard deviation of forecast error and bias) versus lead time over the North Plains region during spring 2022 for three parameterizations: CTL, the α$$ \alpha $$ method of Jacquemin and Noilhan; IFS:

Influencer Credibility and Responsible Tourism: A Study of Ecotourists' Economic, Socio‐Cultural, and Environmental Responsible Behaviors in Sarawak

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The tourism sector faces pressing sustainability challenges, especially during crises. The rural communities reliant on ecotourism remain vulnerable, highlighting the need for responsible tourism. This study integrates social cognitive theory (SCT) and the elaboration likelihood model (ELM) to examine how self‐efficacy and outcome expectation ...
