Evaluating Syrphid Fly Predation on Aphids Under Controlled and Field Conditions in High Tunnels: A Comparative Study With Lacewings

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 6, Page 693-705, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Biological control in high tunnel systems can be optimised by matching predator species to seasonal environmental conditions. We evaluated the predatory efficacy of syrphid flies (Toxomerus marginatus (Say), Eupeodes americanus (Fabricius)) and lacewings (Chrysoperla carnea (Stephens), Chrysoperla rufilabris (Burmeister)) across laboratory ...

Modeling the Distribution, Impacts, and Mitigation of Anthropogenic Heat in Los Angeles

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.
Abstract Anthropogenic heat emissions from human energy consumption contribute to the urban heat island (UHI) effect, yet their spatiotemporal distributions and impacts remain uncertain. In this study, we develop a 100 m resolution, hourly anthropogenic heat flux (AHF) data set for Los Angeles County and use the Weather Research and Forecasting model ...

Microclimate Analysis of Tree Canopies and Green Surface Combinations for Urban Heat Island Mitigation in Los Angeles and Phoenix

This research addresses the critical issue of urban heat islands (UHI), in which urban areas experience significantly higher temperatures than their surroundings, adversely affecting human comfort and well-being. Focusing on Inglewood, a city neighboring

Numerical modelling of urban microclimate in a compact urban area : a case study for Rome

, 2016
The urban heat island effect (UHI) and summer heat waves are likely to cause increased heat-related morbidity and mortality, demand for summer cooling and thermal discomfort in urban areas.

Landscape and Urban Design for improved urban microclimate

Landscape Review
In this paper, we discuss the important role of landscape architecture and urban design in implementing urban heat mitigation strategies. We discuss how these professions relate to and are considered in studies focused on urban climate and outdoor ...
