Harnessing data science to improve integrated management of invasive pest species across Africa: An application to Fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda) (J.E. Smith) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-02-18)After five years of its first report on the African continent, Fall armyworm (FAW), Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith) is considered a major threat to maize, sorghum, and millet production in sub-Saharan Africa. Despite ... -
Harvest is associated with the disruption of social and finescale genetic structure among matrilines of a solitary large carnivore
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-11-27)Harvest can disrupt wildlife populations by removing adults with naturally high survival. This can reshape sociospatial structure, genetic composition, fitness, and potentially affect evolution. Genetic tools can detect ... -
Harvested area did not increase abruptly—how advancements in satellite-based mapping led to erroneous conclusions
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-02-22)Key message: Using satellite-based maps, Ceccherini et al. (Nature 583:72-77, 2020) report abruptly increasing harvested area estimates in several EU countries beginning in 2015. Using more than 120,000 National Forest ... -
Have precipitation extremes and annual totals been increasing in the world’s dry regions over the last 60 years?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017-01-25)Daily precipitation extremes and annual totals have increased in large parts of the global land area over the past decades. These observations are consistent with theoretical considerations of a warming climate. However, ... -
Health Attitudes, Environmental Attitudes and Vegetable Consumption
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)According to World Health Organization a diet high in vegetables may reduce the risk of coronary heart diseases, stroke, and certain types of cancer. In addition, vegetables have lower carbon footprints than most other ... -
Heart rate sensor validation and seasonal and diurnal variation of body temperature and heart rate in domestic sheep
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019-12)Advantages of low input livestock production on large pastures, including animal welfare, biodiversity and low production costs are challenged by losses due to undetected disease, accidents and predation. Precision livestock ... -
Heat stress responses and population genetics of the kelp Laminaria digitata (Phaeophyceae) across latitudes reveal differentiation among North Atlantic populations
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-08-17)To understand the thermal plasticity of a coastal foundation species across its latitudinal distribution, we assess physiological responses to high temperature stress in the kelp Laminaria digitata in combination with ... -
Heat Treatment’s Effect on Properties of Polystyrene from Building Demolitions
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Polystyrene (PS) is a synthetic polymer widely used as a packaging material and in thermal insulation of buildings. At end-of-life, there are not many recycling management options of PS because of the reduced incentive and ... -
Heating Value and Ash Content of Downy Birch Forest Biomass
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017-06-01)Biomass from forestry sector provides an important contribution to meet the government's targets for increasing bioenergy production and utilization. Characterization of forest residues is critical for exploiting and ... -
Helminths associated with terrestrial slugs in some parts of Europe
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-02-20)A survey of helminths associated with terrestrial slugs focusing on the invasive Arion vulgaris and the native A. ater was conducted on populations from France, Germany, Netherlands, Norway and Poland. In total, 648 ... -
Hepatitis C virus E2 envelope glycoprotein produced in Nicotiana benthamiana triggers humoral response with virus-neutralizing activity in vaccinated mice
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-05-18)Chronic infection with hepatitis C virus (HCV) remains a leading cause of liver-related pathologies and a global health problem, currently affecting more than 71 million people worldwide. The development of a prophylactic ... -
Herbivory and warming interact in opposing patterns of covariation between arctic shrub species at large and local scales
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-02-09)A major challenge in predicting species’ distributional responses to climate change involves resolving interactions between abiotic and biotic factors in structuring ecological communities. This challenge reflects the ... -
Heritability of head size in a hunted large carnivore, the brown bear (Ursus arctos)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Wild animal populations experience selection pressures from both natural and anthropogenic sources. The availability of extensive pedigrees is increasing along with our ability to quantify the heritability and evolvability ... -
Heterogeneous nutrient supply modulates root exudation and accumulation of medicinally valuable compounds in Artemisia annua and Hypericum perforatum
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023-06-02)Plants have evolved complex mechanisms to adapt to nutrient-deficient environments, including stimulating lateral root proliferation into local soil patches with high nutrient content in response to heterogeneous nutrient ... -
Heterotrophic respiration in drained tropical peat is greatly affected by temperature—a passive ecosystem cooling experiment
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Vast areas of deforested tropical peatlands do not receive noteworthy shading by vegetation, which increases the amount of solar radiation reaching the peat surface. Peat temperature dynamics and heterotrophic carbon dioxide ... -
