Researchers in ecology and evolutionary biology are increasingly dependent on computational code to conduct research. Hence, the use of efficient methods to share, reproduce, and collaborate on code as well as document ...

Many publications lack sufficient background information (e.g. location) to be interpreted, replicated, or reused for synthesis. This impedes scientific progress and the application of science to practice. Reporting ...

Background Mechanical bowel obstruction (MBO) is one of the principal pathologies requiring emergency surgery and a significant worldwide cause of morbidity. The identification of patients in whom bowel obstruction resolves ...

The chemical application is considered one of the most crucial methods for controlling insect pests, especially in intensive farming practices. Owing to the chemical application, insect pests are exposed to toxic chemical ...

Pest management strategies relying on biocontrol agents may be altered by climate change because temperature regulates biological rates from individuals to populations. We investigated predation and development of Harmonia ...

Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith) is a severe and fast-spreading pest of numerous agro-economic crops, including miscellaneous, vegetables, and green manure crops. Understanding pest ecology represents a core component ...

The frequency and magnitude of climate extremes, especially temperature extremes (TE), are increasing, which are exposing insect populations. However, insect responses to TE are poorly understood. In this study, we ...

During the period of June to October in 2018, a widespread decline was observed on kiwifruit vines in the vineyards located in the Altinordu, Fatsa, and Persembe districts of Ordu province in Turkey. The symptoms were ...

Background Entomopathogenic fungi are a potential biological control agent for many pests. In this study, 14 native Beauveria bassiana isolates were molecularly identified and assessed for their virulence and mortality ...

The bird cherry-oat aphid, Rhopalosiphum padi (L.) (Hemiptera: Aphididae) is one of the most economically important pests of wheat crops worldwide. Thiamethoxam, bifenthrin, and flonicamid are extensively used insecticides ...
