Abstract During the last decades, economic importance of tephritid fruit flies ( FF ) has increased worldwide because recurrent invasions and expansions into new areas, reduced control capabilities current systems. Efficient monitoring systems, thus, are required to provide fast information act promptly. With this aim in mind, we developed two electronic trap (e‐trap) versions for adult : one with specific volatiles male female Ceratitis capitata , second, based on attraction yellow colour,...

Power transmission lines transfer energy between power plants and substations by means of a linear chain towers. These towers are often situated over extensive distances, sometimes in regions that difficult to access. Wireless sensor networks present viable solution for monitoring these long chains due their wide coverage, ease installation cost-effectiveness. The proposed LoRaBUS approach implements analyses the benefits topology using mixture LoRa LoRaWAN protocols. This is designed enable...

Modern agriculture requires technology to give precise measures about relevant parameters such as pest control. Here, we developed a decision support system (DSS) based on semi-automatic monitoring for managing the olive fruit fly Bactrocera oleae (Rossi), in Mallorca (Balearic Islands, Spain). The DSS was an algorithm that took into account spatial and temporal patterns of population orchard where all trees were georeferenced, thus treatments against conducted through location aware (LAS)....
