Multi-scale ordination (MSO) deals with potential scale-dependence in species assemblages, by studying how results from multivariate ordination may be different on different spatial scales. MSO methods were initially based on two-term local covariances between species, and therefore required sampling designs composed of adjacent quadrats. A variogram-based MSO, applicable to very diverse sampli...

BACKGROUND Adjuvants can improve pesticide application efficiency and effectiveness. However, quantifications of the adjuvant-amended pesticide droplet actions on foliage, which could affect application efficiencies, are largely unknown. RESULTS Droplet evaporation rates and spread on waxy or hairy leaves varied greatly with the adjuvant types tested. On waxy leaves, the wetted areas of dropl...
