Significance Decades of research have fostered the now-prevalent assumption that noncrop habitat facilitates better pest suppression by providing shelter and food resources to predators parasitoids crop pests. Based on our analysis largest pest-control database its kind, surrounding farm fields does affect multiple dimensions control, but actual responses pests enemies are highly variable across geographies cropping systems. Because often not enhance biological more information about local...
Since 2016, the fall armyworm (FAW) Spodoptera frugiperda has spread over extensive areas of tropics and subtropics, imperiling food security, economic progress livelihoods millions cereal farmers. Although FAW received long-standing scientific attention in its home range Americas, chemical inputs feature prominently mitigation biological control uptake is globally lagging. Here, building upon a quantitative review global literature, we methodically dissect science. Of known entomopathogens...
The assessment of ecological security patterns is a topic conversation in landscape ecology recent years. However, ecosystem services and human activities are seldom considered comprehensively the patterns. present study employs Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei urban agglomeration as area, uses to determine sources. importance sources classified based on logical coding functional types services. research combines regional characteristics select quantitatively calculate three disturbance factors: soil...
Thermophilic mixed culture fermentation (TMCF) has advantages such as high substrate degradation rate (e.g. 0.5 d−1 of 60 °C vs 0.2 35 °C), hydrogen and methane yields 3–4 mol-H2/mol-glucose at 70 1–2 °C) low gas solubility H2 decrease 10% CH4 30%) for the treatment hot wastewater. However, biomass concentration, complexity metabolites high-running cost still limit its application to some extent. Here, typical metabolic reactions in this process are briefly summarized. Then, recent advances...
Information and communication technologies (ICTs) have received increasing attention in recent years as a promising means to address poverty challenges rural China. This paper uses unique three-wave panel data set of household surveys, collected from seven officially recognized poor counties China during 2012–2018, examine the effect ICT adoption on poverty. The results show that ICTs contributed positively reduction sampled counties, which may been primarily achieved through increased...
Significance Changes in land use, climate, and agricultural technologies affect pest severity management. We analyzed long-term longitudinal data (1991–2015) on three major cotton pests for 51 Chinese counties. Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) insect-resistant had pervasive effects the whole complex its Adoption resulted reductions insecticide use against bollworm. The resulting restoration of aphid biocontrol decreased severity. Mirid bug increased, aided by higher May temperatures reduced...
Human-AI interaction is pervasive across many areas of our day to lives. In this paper, we investigate human-AI collaboration in the context a collaborative AI-driven word association game with partially observable information. experiments, test various dimensions subjective social perceptions (rapport, intelligence, creativity and likeability) participants towards their partners when believe they are playing an AI or human. We also presented variety confidence levels. ran large scale study...
Summary Genetically‐modified crops expressing Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) proteins have been widely cultivated, permitting an effective non‐chemical control of major agricultural pests. While their establishment can enable area‐wide suppression polyphagous herbivores, no information is available on the impact Bt crop abandonment in entire landscape matrices. Here, we detail a resurgence cosmopolitan bollworm Helicoverpa armigera following contraction cotton area dynamic agro‐landscapes over...
Abstract Reducing pesticide use and restoring biodiversity are among the most pressing environmental challenges. Enhancing natural pest control ecosystem services through integration of non-crop habitats (NCH) offers promising potential, creating a positive feedback loop by harnessing insect to reduce reliance. Policy support is needed at landscape level encourage adoption this currently underutilized approach, which depends on spatial coordination collective behavioral change. Farm size,...
Insect pests are a major cause of crop yield losses around the world and pest management plays critical role in providing food security farming income. This study links Nigerian farmers' perceptions severity to landscape, agronomic, biophysical, socio-economic context which agricultural production takes place. A farm household survey was conducted during 2012–2013, collecting data on characteristics, cropping systems, from 805 households 12 states Nigeria. Village characteristics land use...
Despite decades of study, conservation biocontrol via manipulation landscape elements has not become a mainstream strategy for pest control. Meanwhile, groups and governments rarely consider the impacts land management on control, growers can even fear that strategies may exacerbate problems. By finding leverage points among these actors, there be opportunities to align them promote more widespread adoption biological control at landscape-scale. But are ecologists measuring right things...
Abstract In temperate grassland ecosystems, grazing can affect plant growth by foraging, trampling, and excretion. The ability of dominant species to regrow after is critical, since it allows the regeneration photosynthetic tissues support growth. We conducted a field experiment evaluate effects different intensities (control, light, medium, heavy) on physiological biochemical responses Leymus chinensis carbon (C) sources utilized during regrowth. Light promoted regrowth photoassimilate...
