Spartina alterniflora was introduced to Beihai, Guangxi (China), for ecological engineering purposes in 1979. However, the exceptional adaptability and reproductive ability of this species have led its extensive dispersal into other habitats, where it has had a negative impact on native threatens local mangrove mudflat ecosystems. To obtain distribution spread alterniflora, we collected HJ-1 CCD imagery from 2009 2011 very high resolution (VHR) unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The invasion...
Potassium (K) deficiency is one of the major abiotic stresses which has drastically influenced maize growth and yield around world. However, physiological mechanism K tolerance not yet fully understood. To identify differences root morphology, physiology endogenous hormones at different growing stages, two inbred lines 90-21-3 (tolerance to deficiency) D937 (sensitive were cultivated in long-term fertilizer experimental pool under high potassium (+K) low (−K) treatments. The results...
Waterlogging is one of the world's most dangerous climatic hazards, seriously limiting safety and sustainable development cities. Analysis factors influencing urban waterlogging disaster risk assessment are great importance for prevention control waterlogging. The study constructs a framework assessing Urban Risk (UWR) from four dimensions: natural condition, social capital, infrastructure built environment, emphasizing need to understand address vulnerabilities risks faced by cities in...
Accurately assessing the carbon sink intensity of China’s ecosystem is crucial for achieving neutrality. However, existing process models have significant uncertainties in net productivity (NEP) estimates due to lack or insufficient description phenological regulation. Although plant developmental factors been proven significantly influence autumn phenology, they not systematically incorporated into phenology models. In this study, we modified model (cold-degree-day, CDD) by incorporating...
Lake Chaohu is a representative lake in China that suffers from severe eutrophication and algal blooms. In this study, the composition of bacterial communities water sediment one inlets outlets response to spatiotemporal changes was analyzed by Illumina MiSeq sequencing V4 region 16S rRNA gene. Substantially distinct community observed between column sediments both Zhaohe (the inlet, C1) Yuxihe Rivers outlet, C2). The phyla samples were Cyanobacteria, Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria...
Reproductive behavior of the stink bug Thyanta pallidovirens (Stål) was studied in laboratory, including determination sexual maturation period for both sexes, effects number copulations on fecundity, and function prolonged copulation. Mean premating periods males females were 3.6 ± 0.5 4.1 0.6 d, respectively. Preoviposition averaged 6.6 0.9 d. Females preferred sheltered, roughtextured oviposition sites. Paired adults mated ≈13 times average during their lifespan under laboratory...
The long-term estimation of grassland aboveground biomass (AGB) is important for resource management in the Three-River Headwaters Region (TRHR) China. Due to lack reliable AGB datasets since 1980s, spatiotemporal variation TRHR remains unclear. In this study, we estimated 209,897 km2 using advanced very high resolution radiometer (AVHRR), MODerate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), meteorological, ancillary data during 1982–2018, and 75 ground observations growth period 2009...
Net Primary Productivity (NPP) is a critical metric for assessing terrestrial carbon sequestration and ecosystem health. While advancements in NPP modeling have enabled estimation at various scales, hidden anomalies within time series necessitate further investigation to understand the driving forces. This study focuses on Shandong Province, China, generating high-resolution (250 m) monthly product 2000–2019 using Carnegie–Ames–Stanford Approach (CASA) model, integrated with satellite remote...

In many polyandrous species, the last male to mate sires most of offspring. This phenomenon has been explained as result manipulation, postcopulatory female choice, or both. However, in previous studies, direct evidence for these explanations is lacking. Here, we report our work on a moth, Ephestia kuehniella Zeller (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae). We show that sperm precedence occurs by displacement operating at both ejaculation and storage sites. Thus, second physically displaces first male's...

Abstract Selection of a suitable habitat by animals before settlement is critical for their survival and reproduction. In silk-spinning arthropods like spider mites, denser webs offer protection from predation serve as dispersal mode. Settling in habitats with the presence conspecifics silk can benefit habitat-searching females. Silk usually coexist, but distinct effects on female colonization have received little attention. this study, we used haplodiploid mite, Tetranychus ludeni Zacher...
The dispersal strategies of a species can affect its invasion success. Investigations into the invasive in relation to different factors help improve our understanding mechanisms and provide knowledge for population management evaluation. Tetranychus ludeni Zacher (Acari: Tetranychidae) is an which native Europe but now cosmopolitan. Here, we examined effects age density on mated females. Our results show that older females are capable producing more eggs within 24 h were likely disperse...
