The Old World cecidomyiid genus Daphnephila is primarily associated with Machilus (Lauraceae) plants and exhibits exceptionally high gall diversity in Taiwan. At present, six described species correspond to only seven of 40 known Daphnephila gall morphospecies on the island. In this study, we clarified the species identities of Taiwanese Daphnephila inducing long ovoid-galls and ovoid-galls on the leaves of five Machilus plant...

Safe exploitation of the marine natural gas hydrate (NGH) resource is essential to meet the demand of the future energy requirement. To enable real-time monitoring of methane leakage during the production test of NGH, an ocean stereoscopic monitoring system based on underwater single-point mooring structure is developed, which supports in situ monitoring of marine environment at the sea-air interface, the euphotic zone, and th...
