Mechanism of Overwintering in Trees

2018
Boreal trees possess very high freezing resistance, which is induced by short-day length and low temperatures, in order to survive severe subzero temperatures in winter. During autumn, cooperation of photoreceptors and circadian clock system perceiving photoperiod shortening results in growth cessation, dormancy development, and first induction of ...

Overwinter Soil Moisture Changes

Transactions of the ASAE, 1985
ABSTRACT FIELD measurements of the overwinter soil moisture changes, those occurring from freeze-up up to the time of snowmelt, in the Canadian Prairies show that moisture losses are common from the shallow depth adjacent to the soil surface whereas, depending on the soil moisture content at the time of freezing, the amount of moisture in a 0 to 1 m ...

Overwintering of West Nile Virus in the United States

Journal of medical entomology, 2019
The establishment of a tropical virus such as West Nile (WNV; Flaviviridae: Flavivirus) within the temperate latitudes of the continental United States was unexpected and perhaps contingent, in part, upon the ability of this invasive virus to persist ...

Both woody and herbaceous semi-natural habitats are essential for spider overwintering in European farmland

Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment, 2018
Semi-natural habitats (SNH) support biodiversity and associated ecosystem services on farmland, thereby contributing to sustainable agriculture. However, little is known about the specific suitability of different types of SNH as overwintering habitat ...

Migration and Overwintering in Australian Monarch Butterflies (Danaus plexippus (L.) (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae): a Review with New Observations and Research Needs

Journal of the Lepidopterists' Society, 2019
. Migration and overwintering of Monarch butterflies (Danaus plexippus) in south-eastern Australia is reviewed. Overwintering, non-reproductive aggregations of Monarchs were first reported in the 1930s and 1940s from near Sydney, New South Wales and ...

The ecology of overwintering among turtles: where turtles overwinter and its consequences

Biological Reviews, 2006
Turtles are a small taxon that has nevertheless attracted much attention from biologists for centuries. However, a major portion of their life cycle has received relatively little attention until recently - namely what turtles are doing, and how they are doing it, during the winter.

Overwintering of pollen beetles and their predators in oilseed rape and semi-natural habitats

Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment, 2018
Semi-natural habitats (SNH) maintain high levels of biodiversity and ecosystem functioning within agroecosystems. While management recommendations for SNH to promote biodiversity and optimize natural pest control, have mostly focused on improving food ...

Overwintering Behavior of Drosophila suzukii, and Potential Springtime Diets for Egg Maturation

Environmental Entomology, 2018
Spotted wing drosophila, Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura) (Diptera: Drosophilidae), is a serious agricultural pest, which lays eggs in ripe and ripening fruits of several cultivated and wild host plants. Here we explore several factors that may be critical
