Clarity tubes as effective citizen science tools for monitoring wastewater treatment works and rivers por Graham, Mark, Pattinson, Nicholas B., Lepheana, Ayanda T., Taylor, Jim

“…We demonstrate that clarity-derived estimates of TSS concentration (TSScde) can be used to estimate WWTW compliance with WWTW effluent TSS concentration regulations. The measurements can then be used to engage with WWTW management, potentially affecting WWTW performance. …”

Durability of brown planthopper, Nilaparvata lugens, resistance in rice variety IR64 in greenhouse selection studies por Alam, Syed N., Cohen, Michael B.

“…After 15 generations of selection IR64 remained resistant to insects from Banaue, an isolated location where modern resistant varieties are not grown, as measured by all four tests. Our results demonstrate that the relatively greater durability of brown planthopper resistance in IR64, which has been suspected on the basis of its performance in the field, is also evident under greenhouse conditions in the absence of natural enemies and other mortality factors.…”

Polyandry and genetic diversity in populations of Pholidoptera griseoaptera along an environmental gradient por Jutzeler, Matilda

“…Microsatellites was used to identify genetic diversity of populations to examine if there was a correlation with the frequency of copulations. Measurement of body-size were performed on each cricket and estimation of number of copulations were done for each female.I found that in warm temperature, females of P. grisoptera had the highest frequency of copulations and there males choose high quality females. …”
