Economic Damage and Host Preference of Lepidopterous Pests of Major Warm Season Turfgrasses of Hawaii [PDF]

, 1990
The four major lepidopterous pests of turfgrasses of Hawaii are the grass webworm, Herpetogramma licarisalis (Walker), (GWW); lawn armyworm, Spodoptera mauritia (Boisduval), (LAW); black cutworm, Agrostis ipsilon (Hufnagle), (BCW); and fiery skipper ...

Quantifying golf course water use efficiency using three water balance models of varying complexity

Grassland Research, Volume 4, Issue 3, Page 223-234, September 2025.
Abstract Background Three water balance models were used to quantify water use efficiency on 71 golf courses in the United States. The golf courses were separated into five geographic regions. Methods The United States Golf Association (USGA), Tipping‐Bucket (TB), and Agro‐IBIS (AG) water balance models were used to estimate golf course water ...

Using fecal DNA metabarcoding to investigate the animal diet of black rails, yellow rails, and soras

Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 49, Issue 3, September 2025.
We used fecal DNA metabarcoding to investigate the diet of yellow rails, Eastern black rails, and sora during the non‐breeding season. Arthropods, particularly ants, were prevalent in their diets, suggesting possible interactions with invasive red imported fire ants.

The Effects of Protected Areas in Nepal as a Barrier Against Plant Invasions Are Associated With Lower Propagule Pressure and Less Intensive Disturbance

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 31, Issue 9, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Protected areas are established to conserve global biodiversity threatened by various factors, including invasive plants. We recorded naturalised alien plants inside and outside of protected areas to test whether they act as a barrier against the spread of alien plants.

Discovery and Characterization of a Turf-type Triploid Seashore Paspalum [PDF]

HortScience, 2013
Seashore paspalum is a salt tolerant, predominately diploid (2n = 2x = 20) species that is well adapted to coastal regions in tropical and subtropical environments. Because a majority of the available cultivars are propagated vegetatively and most genotypes are cross-fertile, a sterile cultivar that does not produce segregating seedlings would benefit ...

Hybridization, polyploidy and clonality influence geographic patterns of diversity and salt tolerance in the model halophyte seashore paspalum (Paspalum vaginatum)

Molecular Ecology, 2020
In plant species, variation in levels of clonality, ploidy and interspecific hybridization can interact to influence geographic patterns of genetic diversity.

Contrasting Changes Caused by Drought and Submergence Stresses in Bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon) [PDF]

, 2015
In this study, we investigated the mechanisms by which bermudagrass withstands the drought and submergence stresses through physiological, proteomic and metabolomic approaches. The results showed that significant physiological changes were observed after

Hydrological repair and invasive grass removal restore Rhizophora racemosa mangrove communities in West Africa

Restoration Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 7, September 2025.
Mangrove ecosystems face significant threats from climate change and human activities. In West Benin, the invasive grass Paspalum vaginatum disrupts sedimentation and hydrology, creating anoxic conditions and nutrient imbalances. To address this, we implemented a cost‐effective restoration strategy focused on hydrological repair, engaging local ...

Factors associated with survival, recovery, and movements in the western Gulf Coast population of mottled ducks

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 89, Issue 6, August 2025.
We evaluated associations among biological, environmental, and anthropogenic factors and survival, recovery, and post‐summer movements for the western Gulf Coast population of mottled ducks in Louisiana and Texas during 1997‐2020. Our results contribute to a better understanding of the factors influencing demographic performance, harvest, and movements
