Purse seiners deploy large amounts of drifting fish aggregation devices (FADs) in all tropical oceans to catch tunas.These FADs are constructed with porous synthetic fibre netting, which are responsible for incidental mortality of sea turtles and sharks through entanglement, and can engage in ghost fishing if they are lost and abandoned.The use of
We introduce a simplified version of the soccer ball model (SBM) developed by Niedermeier et al (2014 Geophys.Res.Lett.http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/2013GL058684 41 http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/2013GL058684 ) into the Community Atmospheric Model version 5 (CAM5).It is the first time that SBM is used in an atmospheric model to parameterize the heterogeneou
Pullulan, with its excellent characteristics of film-forming, water solubility, and biodegradability, is attracting more and more attention in agricultural products preservation.However, high pullulan production cost largely restricts its widely application due to its low production.In order to improve pullulan production by Aureobasidium pullulans
Background Interspecific interactions play an important role in determining species richness and persistence in a given locality.However at some sites, the studies, especially for interaction networks on adult butterflies are scarce.The present study aimed the following objectives: (1) determine butterfly species richness and diversity that visit f
