Birds among us: Perceptions of bird‐mediated services and disservices in a northern city

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Birds can benefit people or cause harm. Understanding how people perceive birds in cities, where most daily interactions among people and nature occur, could inform decision‐making in support of biodiversity and human well‐being We distributed a survey in a growing mid‐sized city (Lahti, Finland) to evaluate which bird‐mediated ecosystem ...

Composite Fibers of Hydroxypropyl Cellulose and Alginate Spun From Aqueous Solution: Crosslinking Effects on Water Absorption and Mechanical Properties

Polymer Engineering &Science, EarlyView.
Alginate‐HPC composite fibers spun via CaCl2‐induced gelation process. Fiber diameter ranges from 100 to 200 μm after air drying. Higher alginate boosts water absorption in dried fibers. HPC selectively diffuses out when fibers are soaked in water. Crosslinking with hexamethylene diisocyanate improves mechanical strength.

Regional analysis of spatiotemporal trends in Colorado potato beetle abundance

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Leveraging a large data set on Colorado potato beetles in Wisconsin, we examine spatial and temporal abundance trends. Spatiotemporal statistical models substantially improve fit and show that climate and management factors are positively associated with abundance levels.

Development and deployment of a risk assessment index as a decision‐support tool for managing whitefly‐transmitted viruses affecting squash

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
A data‐driven framework identified planting date and row cover as dominant drivers of whitefly‐transmitted virus complex (WTVC) risk in squash. Integration into the SquashRx mobile application enables real‐time risk assessment and supports improved decision‐making for integrated pest management.

Social media as a new tool for studying the composition and spatial distribution of stored‐product arthropods in households

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Social media records highlight diverse household stored‐product arthropods and reveal distinct associations of major pest groups with different room types and specific substrates. Abstract BACKGROUND Stored‐product pests (SPPs) are well studied in food storage and processing facilities, but their occurrence in households remains poorly known.
