Open Access3D large-scale forward modeling of gravitational fields using triangular spherical prisms with polynomial densities in depth
To take the sphericity of the Earth into account, tesseroids are often utilized as grid elements in large-scale gravitational forward modeling. However, such elements in a latitude–longitude mesh suffer from d...

Organic fertilizer amendment promotes wheat resistance to herbivory and biocontrol services via bottom-up effects in agroecosystems
Excessive mineral fertilizer input results in little extra yield but exacerbates insect herbivory and affects environmental health and ecosystem services. The use of organic fertilizer is considered to have pr...

Open AccessModerately decreasing fertilizer in fields does not reduce populations of cereal aphids but maximizes fitness of parasitoids
Examination of the tradeoff between the extent of decreasing nitrogen input and pest suppression is crucial for maintaining the balance between essential yield and an efficient, sustainable pest control strate...

Open AccessLandscape agricultural simplification correlates positively with the spatial distribution of a specialist yet negatively with a generalist pest
Agricultural expansion at the cost of natural or semi-natural habitats is simplifying human-dominated landscapes. As croplands provide a large resource of food to herbivores, pest damage may increase, but such...

Adaptation of Defensive Strategies by the Pea Aphid Mediates Predation Risk from the Predatory Lady Beetle
Within a species, individual animals adopt various defensive strategies to resist natural enemies, but the defensive strategies that are adopted in response to variations in predation risk are poorly understoo...

Energy-Based Analysis of Mechanisms of Earthquake-Induced Landslide Using Hilbert–Huang Transform and Marginal Spectrum
Based on the Hilbert–Huang Transform and its marginal spectrum, an energy-based method is proposed to analyse the dynamics of earthquake-induced landslides and a case study is presented to illustrate the propo...

Open AccessLandscape changes have greater effects than climate changes on six insect pests in China
In recent years, global changes are the major causes of frequent, widespread outbreaks of pests in mosaic landscapes, which have received substantial attention worldwide. We collected data on global changes (l...

Cropland expansion facilitated the outbreak of cereal aphids during 1951–2010 in China
Landscape-scale pattern could affect ecosystem service such as biocontrol of agricultural pests. Additionally, pest outbreak has been shown to be interwoven with land-use intensity. In the present research, we...

Shelterbelts in agricultural landscapes enhance ladybeetle abundance in spillover from cropland to adjacent habitats
The natural enemies of herbivorous pests in crop** systems may relocate to adjacent habitats in response to declining habitat quality in heterogeneous landscapes. In this study, we measured the cross-edge s...

Penehyclidine enhances the efficacy of tropisetron in prevention of PONV following gynecological laparoscopic surgery
Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) are common complications after gynecological laparoscopic surgery. Because monotherapy with antiemetics is insufficient, combinations of various antiemetics are often r...
