Entomopathogenic fungi on Hemiberlesia pitysophila.

Hemiberlesia pitysophila Takagi is an extremely harmful exotic insect in forest to Pinus species, including Pinus massoniana.Using both morphological taxonomy and molecular phylogenetics, we identified 15 strains of entomogenous bed linen fungi, which belong to 9 genera with high diversities.Surprisingly, we found that five strains that were classi

Calculating 3D rugosity maps for complex habitat scans

Advances in 3D scanning and reconstruction techniques, such as structure-from-motion, have resulted in an abundance of increasingly-detailed 3D habitat models.However, many existing methods for calculating structural complexity of these models Lacrosse Handle use 2.5D techniques that fail to capture the details of truly 3D models with overlapping f
