Geographic variation in walking activity in the red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum

open access: yesPopulation Ecology, EarlyView.
This study examined whether there is geographic variation in field populations, focusing on the moving activity in the red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum. Results showed significant differences in moving activity among field populations but no correlation with latitude or meteorological factors.

Growth of High Quality GaN on Si (111) Substrate by Using Two-Step Growth Method for Vertical Power Devices Application

open access: yesCrystals, 2021
A crack-free GaN film grown on 4-inch Si (111) substrate is proposed using two-step growth methods simply controlled by both III/V ratio and pressure. Two-step growth process is found to be effective in compensating the strong tensile stress in the GaN ...

occumb: An R package for site occupancy modeling of eDNA metabarcoding data

open access: yesPopulation Ecology, EarlyView.
This study introduces a new R package, occumb, for the convenient application of site occupancy modeling using environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding data. We outline a data analysis workflow, including data setup, model fitting, model assessment, and comparison of potential study settings based on model predictions, all of which can be performed using

Quantitative trait locus mapping for salt and drought tolerance traits in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

open access: yesBMC Plant Biology
Background Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is susceptible to abiotic factors during its growth period, such as salt and drought. The germination stage is the initial growth stage of wheat growth, when wheat is particularly sensitive to salt and drought ...

Yield statistics of interpolated superoscillations

open access: yes, 2016
Yield Optimized Interpolated Superoscillations (YOIS) have been recently introduced as a means for possibly making the use of the phenomenon of superoscillation practical. In this paper we study how good is a superoscillation that is not optimal. Namely,

Between Droughts and Floods: The Seasonal Response of Freshwater Snails in Artificial Reservoirs in the Brazilian Semiarid Region

open access: yesPopulation Ecology, EarlyView.
We investigate the seasonal dynamics of two freshwater snails, Biomphalaria straminea and Melanoides tuberculata, in artificial reservoirs of the Brazilian semiarid region. Despite regulated hydrology, B. straminea exhibited strong seasonal fluctuations associated with dry periods, while M. tuberculata maintained stable populations throughout the year,

Characterization of a wheat stable QTL for spike length and its genetic effects on yield-related traits

open access: yesBMC Plant Biology
Spike length (SL) is one of the most important agronomic traits affecting yield potential and stability in wheat. In this study, a major stable quantitative trait locus (QTL) for SL, i.e., qSl-2B, was detected in multiple environments in a recombinant ...

Growth Parameters, Yield and Grain Quality of Different Winter Wheat Cultivars Using Strip Tillage in Relation to the Intensity of Post-Harvest Soil Cultivation

open access: yesAgriculture
The research has been undertaken to determine whether it is worthwhile to do a post-tillage on stubble before applying strip-till or whether tillage operations such as tillage and stubble ploughing should be performed. Therefore, ploughed tillage + strip

Robinia pseudoacacia L. Flower Analyzed by Using An Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV)

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2017
Tree flowers are important for flower–insect relationships, seeds, fruits, and honey production. Flowers are difficult to analyze, particularly in complex ecosystems such as forests.
