Methods and Principles for Interpreting the Phenology of Crop Pests
Illinois Natural History Survey Bulletin, 1928 In the present state of affairs, this paper proposes primarily to call attention to a method of defining the relations of plant diseases to climate and weather; but it intends, also, to make additional suggestions which may be useful to entomologists (the latter having used the method to a limited extent) and to point out some of the fundamental ...

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.Abstract Premise Applied ecology can significantly influence policy decisions on environmental issues. Therefore, research in this field should be as transparent and reproducible as possible. Existing expertise from a broad range of disciplines should also be integrated into ecological research to allow researchers to maximize understanding of complex ...

Flight of the dragons: a global review of migration in Odonata
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Insects are the most abundant and ecologically important animal migrants. Yet, we know relatively little about the patterns and processes underlying insect migration. Dragonflies (Anisoptera) and damselflies (Zygoptera) comprise the ancient insect order Odonata, whose ancestors were the first organisms to fly on Earth.
