Diversity of root-knot nematodes of the genus Meloidogyne Göeldi, 1892 (Nematoda: Meloidogynidae) associated with olive plants and environmental cues regarding their distribution i... by Antonio Archidona-Yuste, Carolina Cantalapiedra-Navarrete, Gracia Liébanas, Hava F Rapoport, Pablo Castillo, Juan E Palomares-Rius

“…In particular the presence of M. incognita is highly correlated with sandy loamy soils, the presence of M. javanica with irrigated soils and cover vegetation, while the presence of M. arenaria is correlated with the absence of cover vegetation on alley and absence of irrigation. These parameters likely influence the selection of each particular Meloidogyne species from a major dispersal source, such as the rooted plantlets used to establish the orchards.…”

Adaptive Token Mixer for Hyperspectral Image Classification by Shuhan Lei, Meng Zhang, Yuhang Wang, Nan Tang, Ni Jia, Lihua Fu

“…To address these issues, researchers have proposed sparse connectivity strategies to create more compact MLP models by selecting and mixing only a subset of tokens. However, most token selection rules overlook image patch content, often introducing task-irrelevant tokens with little valuable class distribution information. …”

Maintenance of flower color dimorphism in Ophiorrhiza japonica (Rubiaceae): responses to fluctuating temperatures in a dolomite Karst region by Xiao-Yue Wang, Xiao-Yue Wang, Han-Qing Tang, Han-Qing Tang, Yun-Jing Liu, Yun-Jing Liu, Meng-Da Xiang, Meng-Da Xiang, Ren-Xiu Yao, Ren-Xiu Yao, Bai-Zhu Li, Yu Li, Yu Li, Yin Yi, Yin Yi, Zhi-Rui Wen, Zhi-Rui Wen, Ming Tang, Ming Tang, Xiao-Xin Tang, Xiao-Xin Tang

“…Based on the aforementioned results, pollinators are not the primary factor influencing the distribution of flower colors in spring and winter. Furthermore, the response of different flower colors to temperature suggests that temperature is more likely the factor driving changes in flower coloration. …”

Experimental evidence quantifying effects of nocturnal light conditions on predation levels by riverine predators on larval prey by Joseph J. Riedy, Edward A. Baker, Kim T. Scribner

“…Predation rates may also be affected by the taxonomic composition and relative abundance of alternative co-distributed prey. We experimentally tested whether differences in larval lake sturgeon (Acipenser fulvescens) predation levels were attributed to changes in prey selectivity, or to an overall decrease in consumption of co-distributed and dispersing prey consumed by predatory riverine species under different light conditions. …”

A novel on-line dual sensing system for soil property measurement and mapping by Rukayat Afolake Oladipupo, Muhammad Abdul Munnaf, Parsat Sanganta, Ajit Borundia, Abdul Mounem Mouazen

“…Real-time assessment of within-field soil fertility variation is crucial for making informed and sustainable decisions, like crop nitrogen (N) fertilization. Two commonly used soil sensors i.e., visible-near-infrared (vis-NIR) spectroscopy and ion-selective electrodes (ISE) have been reported to successfully estimate various soil macronutrients and nitrate-N, respectively, however, their integrated use for mapping a full-scale soil fertility variation has not been taken into consideration to date. …”
