Semi‐Natural Habitats Buffer the Effects of Crop Diversification on Arthropod Pest Control Services in Agricultural LandscapesNARA Subscribed
Crop diversification is a promising strategy to strengthen pest control services in agricultural landscapes. Diversifying crops may limit pests through host crop dilution or by enhancing top‐down control by their enemies. However, crop diversification may also benefit generalist pests through higher resource continuity. Using a large‐scale dataset encompassing 742 landscapes across 13 countries, we assessed the impact of lands...
Analyses of gene expression in the skin of several species of whales have identified genes that are differentially expressed in association with environmental factors, suggesting that skin transcriptomics may provide a valuable tool for assessing physiological responses in marine mammals. Previous work exploring differing levels of gene expression has focused on odontocetes, with comparatively limited investigation of skin gen...
A Digital Twin Ocean: can we improve coastal ocean forecasts using targeted marine autonomy?OA Marine
This study outlines the development and testing of a Digital Twin Ocean (DTO) framework, aimed at improving coastal ocean forecasts through the use of autonomous underwater gliders. A fleet of gliders were deployed in the western English Channel during August-September 2024 to collect measurements of temperature, salinity, chlorophyll and oxygen, aiming to track the movement of the harmful algal bloom Karenia mikimotoi. Measur...
Heat‐lows are low pressure systems that past idealised modelling work has noted qualitatively resemble dry tropical cyclones (TCs). This is because of their low‐level cyclonic circulation co‐located with strong surface sensible heat fluxes and deep dry convection. Direct quantitative tests of this resemblance are lacking, which is the focus of this work. We compare the climatology of summertime West African heat‐lows from a pr...
