The temperature affects the impact levels of synthetic insecticides on a parasitoid wasp used in the biological control of pentatomid pests in soybean crops
Matheus Rakes, Maíra Chagas Morais, Leandro do Prado Ribeiro +4
The impact of climate change has led to growing global concern about the interaction of temperature and xenobiotics in agricultural toxicological studies. Thus, for the first time,…
Understanding Social Immunity in Ants: A Markovian Approach to Collective Cleaning Strategies
Isabella Bueno, Gabriel R. Palma, Idemauro A. R. Lara +3
Understanding social immunity mechanisms in ant colonies remains crucial to comprehending the evolution of defense strategies in eusocial organisms. This study assumes the absence…
Understanding learning from EEG data: Combining machine learning and feature engineering based on hidden Markov models and mixed models
Gabriel Rodrigues Palma, Conor Thornberry, Seán Commins +1
Theta oscillations, ranging from 4-8 Hz, play a significant role in spatial learning and memory functions during navigation tasks. Frontal theta oscillations are thought to play an…
Multi-state models for double transitions associated with parasitism in biological control
Idemauro Antonio Rodrigues de Lara, Gabriel Rodrigues Palma, Victor José Bon +2
Competition between parasitoids can reduce the success of pest control in biological programs using two species as bio-control agents or when multiple species exploit the same host…
Estimation of the non-linear parameter in Generalised Diversity-Interactions models is unaffected by change in structure of the interaction terms
Rishabh Vishwakarma, Laura Byrne, John Connolly +2
Research over the past few decades has assumed the richness (number of species) to be the primary driver of the biodiversity and ecosystem function (BEF) relationship. However, bio…
Variational Inference for Additive Main and Multiplicative Interaction Effects Models
AntÔnia A. L. Dos Santos, Rafael A. Moral, Danilo A. Sarti +1
In plant breeding the presence of a genotype by environment (GxE) interaction has a strong impact on cultivation decision making and the introduction of new crop cultivars. The com…
