Constraining Planetary Albedo of JWST Targets in the TESS bandpass, using TESS, HST and Spitzer Eclipse Depth Observations [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
Albedo is one of the important characteristics of hot Jupiter exoplanets. However, albedo constraints have been obtained for very few exoplanets. In this work, we present the TESS Phase Curve observations of WASP-18b, WASP-19b, WASP-121b, WASP-43b, WASP-17b, and WASP-77b, all JWST targets for atmospheric characterization and constrain their occultation

Late Summer-Fall Solitary Wasp Fauna of Central New York (Hymenoptera: Tiphiidae, Pompilidae, Sphecidae) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Eighty-one species of primarily ground-nesting solitary wasps belonging to the families Tiphiidae, Pompilidae and Sphecidae were observed, collected and identified from six sandy and gravelly study areas in Cayuga and Onondaga Counties, New York.

beta-Glucosidase: an elicitor of herbivore-induced plant odor that attracts host-searching parasitic wasps.

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 1995
Cabbage plants respond to caterpillar (Pieris brassicae) herbivory by releasing a mixture of volatiles that makes them highly attractive to parasitic wasps (Cotesia glomerata) that attack the herbivores.

Modeling parasitoid development: climate change impacts on Telenomus remus (Nixon) and Trichogramma foersteri (Takahashi) in southern Brazil

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Phenological models revealed temperature‐driven development variability in Telenomus remus and Trichogramma foersteri, highlighting potential impacts of climate change on their biological control efficacy in warmer and colder regions. Abstract BACKGROUND The egg parasitoids Telenomus remus (Nixon) and Trichogramma foersteri (Takahashi) were recently ...

Behavioral Differences Between Two Recently Sympatric Paper Wasps, the Native \u3ci\u3ePolistes Fuscatus\u3c/i\u3e and the Invasive \u3ci\u3ePolistes Dominulus\u3c/i\u3e [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Polistes dominulus (Christ), an old world paper wasp, was introduced into the eastern United States in the 1970s and has been rapidly spreading westward. Recently, it has displaced the native Polistes fuscatus (F.) in at least some areas of Michigan.

Perspectives on water quality analysis emphasizing indexing, modeling, and application of artificial intelligence for comparison and trend forecasting

open access: yesRiver, EarlyView.
Abstract Freshwater essential for civilization faces risk from untreated effluents discharged by industries, agriculture, urban areas, and other sources. Increasing demand and abstraction of freshwater deteriorate the pollution scenario more. Hence, water quality analysis (WQA) is an important task for researchers and policymakers to maintain ...

Natural Biological Control of Diaphania spp. (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) by Social Wasps

open access: yesSociobiology, 2014
The social wasps (Hymenoptera: Vespidae) are important agents of biological control for agricultural pests. Diaphania hyalinata L. and Diaphania nitidalis Cramer (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) are among the main pests of plants in the Cucurbitaceae family ...

Three transiting planet discoveries from the Wide Angle Search for Planets: WASP-85 A b; WASP-116 b, and WASP-149 b [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2014
(abridged) We report the discovery of three new transiting planets: WASP-85 A b, WASP-116 b, and WASP-149 b. WASP-85 b orbits its host star every 2.66 days, and has a mass of 1.25 M_Jup and a radius of 1.25 R_Jup. The host star is of G5 spectral type, with magnitude V = 11.2, and lies 141 pc distant. The system has a K-dwarf binary companion, WASP-85 B,

Flower-Visiting Social Wasps and Plants Interaction: Network Pattern and Environmental Complexity

open access: yes, 2012
Network analysis as a tool for ecological interactions studies has been widely used since last decade. However, there are few studies on the factors that shape network patterns in communities.

Six newly-discovered hot Jupiters transiting F/G stars: WASP-87b, WASP-108b, WASP-109b, WASP-110b, WASP-111b & WASP-112b

open access: yes, 2014
We present the discoveries of six transiting hot Jupiters: WASP-87b, WASP-108b, WASP-109b, WASP-110b, WASP-111b and WASP-112b. The planets have masses of 0.51--2.2 $M_{\rm Jup}$ and radii of 1.19--1.44 $R_{\rm Jup}$ and are in orbits of 1.68--3.78 d around stars with masses 0.81--1.50 $M_{\rm \odot}$.
