Abstract:
... The litchi fruit borer, Conopomorpha sinensis (Bradley) (Lepidoptera: Gracillariidae), is one of the major destructive and main pest of litchi fruits in Southeast Asia, including Bangladesh. This experiment was carried out in three different litchi orchards to develop a bio-rational management strategy using insect growth regulators (IGRs) to control the population of C. sinensis. The effectivenes ...

Abstract:
... The tribe Dacini (Diptera: Tephritidae) contains over 930 recognised species and has been widely studied due to the economic importance of some taxa, such as the Oriental fruit fly Bactrocera dorsalis. Despite the attention this group has received, very few phylogenetic reconstructions have comprehensively sampled taxa from a single biogeographic region, thereby limiting our capacity to address mo ...

Abstract:
... Bartonelloses are emerging infectious diseases that are common in humans and animals worldwide. Several Bartonella species associated with companion animals such as Bartonella henselae and Bartonella rochalimae are species with zoonotic implications and have become a global concern. Other Bartonella species associated with wild animals, however, remain underappreciated particularly in the developi ...

Abstract:
... Sesame oil is a traditional and delicious edible oil in China and Southeast Asia with a high price. However, sesame oil essence was often illegally added to cheaper edible oils to counterfeit sesame oil. In this study, a rapid and accurate headspace gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry (HS-GC-IMS) method was proposed to detect the counterfeit sesame oil where the other cheap oils were adul ...

Abstract:
... In‐field soil testing and soil mapping can contribute to addressing the challenge of poor soil fertility and limited fertilizer application across sub‐Saharan Africa. Semi‐quantitative colorimetric methods, such as paper test strips, are frequently employed in soil nutrient assessment across developing countries, especially in South‐East Asia. This research investigated the accuracy of nutrient‐se ...

Abstract:
... Illicium verum Hook.f. (Chinese star anise), a known Chinese traditional spice, is commonly applied in Chinese cuisine and cooking in Southeast Asia. As a kind of medicinal and edible resource, the fruit of I. verum has attracted great attention for its chemical constituents and physiological activities. In this work, the phytochemical study of the fruits of I. verum led to the isolation and ident ...

Abstract:
... Evapotranspiration (ET) plays a crucial role in water balance within the global hydrological cycle. Timely assessment of ET products can provide the scientific basis for quantitative analysis of hydrological cycle processes and water resources assessment. In this paper, four high spatial resolution remote sensing ET products—the Moderate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer global terrestrial evap ...

Abstract:
... Energy is vital to human society but significantly contributes to the deterioration of environmental quality and the global issue of climate change. Biomass and fossil fuels are important energy sources but have distinct pollutant emission characteristics during the burning process. This study aimed at attributing radiative forcing of climate forcers, including greenhouse gases but also short-live ...

Abstract:
... AIM: Research in island biogeography has long focused mainly on present‐day island configurations. Recently, there has been an increasing focus on islands’ past histories of land connection, shape and size. Moreover, continental islands (=shelf islands) have received less attention than oceanic islands, and species inventories from extremely small islands are lacking in many datasets. We examine t ...
climate change; environmental management; hydrologic data; infrastructure; risk reduction; urbanization; water quality; South East Asia
Abstract:
... In Southeast Asia, projections of rapid urban growth coupled with high water-related risks call for large investments in infrastructure—including in blue–green infrastructure (BGI) such as forests, parks, or vegetated engineered systems. However, most of the knowledge on BGI is produced in the global North, overlooking the diversity of urban contexts globally. Here, we review the literature on BGI ...

Abstract:
... Across Southeast Asia, coastal livelihoods are becoming more diverse and more commodified, as maritime zone developments intensify. We review literature from the ten maritime states in Southeast Asia to assess how older and emerging forms of maritime zone developments influence the viability of small-scale fishing livelihoods. Applying a political economy lens to small-scale fisheries and maritime ...

Abstract:
... Habitat loss and degradation can undermine wildlife communities and ecosystem functioning. However, certain generalist wildlife species like mesopredators and omnivores can exploit these disturbed habitats, sometimes leading to population increases (e.g. ‘mesopredator release’ in degraded areas). Although mesopredator release may cause negative effects on food webs and zoonotic disease management, ...

Abstract:
... This study investigated the frequency analysis of precipitation indices of maximum daily precipitation amount (Rx1day), maximum 5-day cumulative precipitation amount (Rx5day), and maximum length of consecutive dry days (CDD) using various bias-correction schemes over mainland Southeast Asia (MSEA). The bias-correction schemes were based on quantile delta mapping (QDM) with different strategies in ...

Abstract:
... Recently, the widespread occurrence of Sri Lankan cassava mosaic virus (SLCMV), genus Begomovirus, family Geminiviridae, which causes a mosaic disease in cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) in South-East Asia have, become a serious economic issue. Since cassava is propagated through vegetative cuttings, a rapid virus diagnostic method is crucial for generating virus-free planting materials. In this ...
