Stress in dipteran insects mass‐reared for sterile insect technique applications

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
The connections between biotic and abiotic stress affecting mass‐reared dipteran insects and the associated stress and immunological responses. Numbers indicate the order in which the topics are discussed in this review. Abstract Stress may be viewed as the disturbance of homeostasis of an organism.

Do stylet‐borne aphid‐transmitted viruses share the same binding sites?

open access: yesAnnals of Applied Biology, EarlyView.
Here, we tested if different stylet‐borne aphid‐transmitted viruses can compete for the same binding sites within the aphid stylets. We conducted sequential transmission assays of a potyvirus (ZYMV) followed by a cucumovirus (CMV) using Aphis gossypii as a vector and melon and pepper as test plants.

Influence of distance, frequency, habitat and angle of incidence on sound levels in passive acoustic monitoring with AudioMoth recorders

open access: yesAnnals of Applied Biology, EarlyView.
Sound levels of animal recordings are affected by their distance, direction, and the surrounding habitat. We estimated the magnitude of these effects for sound frequencies between 1.25 kHz (audible sound) and 50 kHz (ultrasound) using AudioMoth, a commonly used recorder in passive acoustic monitoring.

Ravinteiden vaikutus sokerijuurikkaan sokeripitoisuuteen [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
Sokerijuurikas (Beta vulgaris L. var altissima Döll) on melko nuori viljelykasvi verrattuna esimerkiksi vehnään. Tässä opinnäytetyössä on selvitetty, miten eri ravinteet vaikuttavat sokerijuurikkaan sokeripitoisuuteen.

Changes in waterbird occurrence and abundance at their northern range boundaries in response to climate warming: importance of site area and protection status

open access: yesAnimal Conservation, EarlyView.
We investigated non‐breeding waterbird population changes in response to temperature, site area, site protection status, and land use in agricultural and urban surfaces, at cold distribution edge in Sweden. Temperature increase was a strong predictor of population increase, particularly for warm‐dwelling species.
