Effects of soil temperature and moisture on the development and survival of grasshopper eggs in inner mongolian grasslands
T Wu, S Hao, L Kang - Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 - frontiersin.org
Grasshopper eggs overwinter in soil for almost half a year. Changes in soil temperature and
moisture have a substantial effect on grasshopper eggs, especially temperature and …

The causes and consequences of pest population variability in agricultural landscapes
Variability in population densities is key to the ecology of natural systems but also has great
implications for agriculture. Farmers' decisions are heavily influenced by their risk aversion …

Accounting for long‐term directional trends on year‐to‐year synchrony in species fluctuations
What determines the stability of communities under environmental fluctuations remains one
of the most debated questions in ecology. Scholars generally agree that the similarity in year …

Cold winters drive consistent and spatially synchronous 8‐year population cycles of cabbage stem flea beetle
Population cycles have been observed in mammals as well as insects, but consistent
population cycling has rarely been documented in agroecosystems and never for a beetle …

Weather and regional crop composition variation drive spatial synchrony of lepidopteran agricultural pests
1. Spatial synchrony, the tendency for temporal population fluctuations to be correlated
across multiple locations at regional scales, is common and contributes to the severity of …

Directional trends in species composition over time can lead to a widespread overemphasis of year‐to‐year asynchrony
Questions Compensatory dynamics are described as one of the main mechanisms that
