Statistical and climate models are frequently used for biodiversity projections under future climatic changes, but their predictive capacity freshwater plankton may vary among different species community metrics. Here, we random forests to model metrics as a function of biological, climatic, physical, chemical data from long-term (2000–2017) monitoring collected Lake Müggelsee Berlin, Germany. ...

Abstract Background Studying the diversity of indigenous entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) is a prerequisite to effective insect pest control. The distribution and occurrence EPF from soil across Nigeria were evaluated. Three subsoil samples three locations in each 11 states used isolate by bait method. fungal rates, 1.0 × 10 2 , 5.0 1 7.5 spores/ml, applied Galleria larvae. Results occurred 41.1% s...

The constant biotic and abiotic interventions on the Qinghai Tibet Plateau (QTP) are seriously degrading grasslands and, at same time, restricting active ecosystem function grassland vegetation distribution plateau. This research analyses dynamics of composition across three land uses counties. degree degradation was divided into four land-use types based, i.e., healthy (HG), restored (RG), mod...

Phase-shifting interferometry with a genetic algorithm is proposed. The correction of unknown phase-shifting error is an important task in general phase-shifting interferometry. Since phase-shifting errors generate twin image noise in a reconstructed image, we can reduce the phase-shifting errors indirectly by trying to eliminate the twin-image noise in the reconstructed image. By Zernike polyn...
