Do spatially targeted weed management strategies increase risk of herbicide resistance evolution?

BACKGROUND: Spatially targeted spraying is an alternative to broadcast herbicide application that reduces herbicide use by restricting treatment to areas where weeds are detected. However, weed detection using remote or proximal sensing and classification algorithms is imperfect,...

Marine heatwaves reshape survival of small corals, revealing size- and taxa-specific vulnerabilities

Abstract Despite decades of research, fundamental gaps remain in our understanding of coral vital rates across taxa. This is particularly true for the early life stages, which are critical for reef recovery, representing significant bottlenecks to population growth. We assessed t...
