The effectiveness of water droplets to control nuisance midges was examined at Floreat Lakes (Perth, Western Australia) from 2000 to 2003. Water Droplets were applied to the surface of the wetland using an irrigation system.
Habitat loss has reduced the available resources for apiarists and is a key driver of poor colony health, colony loss, and reduced honey yields. The biggest challenge for apiarists in the future will be meeting increasing demands for pollination services, honey, and other bee products with limited resources. Targeted landscape restoration focusing...
The objectives of this study were:
1) To quantitatively and qualitatively assess macroinvertebrate communities above and below Samson Brook, Samson Brook Pipehead, Stirling, Wokalup Pipehead and Harris dams during autumn and spring; and
2) To assess the condition of upstream and down stream sites using the Australian River Assessment System (AUSRIV...
Vegetated buffer zones protect the function of wetlands and influence the dispersal, survival and behaviour of insects. Knowledge of the influence of vegetation type and structure on insect distribution is critical for pest management and the determination of buffer requirements. The effect of vegetation density and wind on the dispersal of a pest...
