This article presents a unifying theory of soundscape ecology, which brings the idea soundscape—the collection sounds that emanate from landscapes—into research and application focus. Our conceptual framework ecology is based on causes consequences biological (biophony), geophysical (geophony), human-produced (anthrophony) sounds. We argue shares many parallels with landscape it should therefore be considered branch this maturing field. propose agenda for includes six areas: (1) measurement...
Field biologists and ecologists are starting to open new avenues of inquiry at greater spatial temporal resolution, allowing them "observe the unobservable" through use wireless sensor networks. Sensor networks facilitate collection diverse types data (from temperature imagery sound) frequent intervals—even multiple times per second—over large areas, field engage in intensive expansive sampling unobtrusively collect data. Moreover, real-time flows allow researchers react rapidly events, thus...
1. In the mid‐1970s, Hynes (1975) wrote eloquently about complex interactions between aquatic and terrestrial systems. Central theories in stream ecology developed thereafter have dealt with longitudinal flow of energy, materials organisms streams, and, exception flood pulse concept (Junk, Bayley & Sparks, 1989), largely ignored areas outside riparian zone. The structure upland activities occurring there play a more important part than previously recognized regulating community ecosystem...
Aerial transport alone is seldom responsible for the introduction of nonindigenous species into distant regions; however, capacity to use atmospheric pathway rapid spread in large part determines invasive potential organisms once they are introduced. Because physical and biological features Earth's surface influence routes timing that pathway, long-distance movement aerobiota largely regular thus predictable. Soybean rust (Phakopsora pachyrhizi), potentially most destructive foliar disease...

Two-stage template matching with sum of absolute differences as the similarity measure has been developed by Vanderburg and Rosenfeld [1], [2]. This correspondence shows development two-stage cross correlation measure. The threshold value first-stage is derived analytically its validity verified experimentally. Considerable speed-up over one-stage process can be obtained introducing only a small false dismissal probability.
This study evaluates whether previous observations of a higher percentage parasitism and parasitoid diversity in complex agricultural landscape, relative to simple represent general phenomenon. Rates the armyworm (Pseudaletia unipuncta) were assessed three replicate (Onondaga, Ingham, Benton) regions southern Michigan. Within each region, landscape (primarily cropland) (cropland intermixed with mid late successional noncrop habitats) identified through analysis aerial photographs. In maize...
Thirty-two years of annual adult grasshopper survey data collected in Saskatchewan were quantified and used to examine the trends numbers selected weather variables. Interrelationships between 4 species grasshoppers, Melanoplus sanguinipes (Fabr.), M. bivittatus (Say), packardii (Scudder) Camnula pellucida (Scudder), heat units, precipitation investigated by quantifying average distribution patterns. Density ratings grasshoppers most highly autocorrelated with previous years' ratings, degree...
The associations between common ground beetles and habitat management characteristics were studied in an agricultural landscape that comprised part of the Long-Term Ecological Research site southwestern Michigan. 42-ha area included 7 treatments, which represented 4 annual cropping systems wheat, Triticum aestivum L., corn, Zea mays soybean, Glycine max (L.) Merr., rotation; 2 perennial crop (alfalfa, Medicago sativa Populus); a native succession habitat. Pitfall traps used to sample adult...
A microcomputer-based instrument was designed to record and analyze flight movements of individual insects flying through a light beam. In an experiment with Aedes aegypti (L.) A. triseriatus Say, species sex individuals were identified correctly accuracy 84% using wingbeat frequency measurements. This technology may be useful in automated monitoring the field.
