Soybeans as a non-Bt refuge for Helicoverpa zea in maize-cotton agroecosystems
Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment, 322, 107642.
author keywords: Bollworm; Bt-refuge; Resistance management; Risk description; Row crops
TL;DR:
Soybeans in North Carolina and southeastern U.S. likely serves as a critical non-Bt refuge for delaying H. zea resistance to Bt toxins in landscapes dominated by Bt maize and cotton, and inverse distance weighted (IDW) soybeans is the most important predictor of H.Zea abundance through time in row crop agroecosystems inNorth Carolina.

EXTREME VALUE ANALYSIS FOR EVALUATING OZONE CONTROL STRATEGIES
ANNALS OF APPLIED STATISTICS, 7(2), 739–762.
author keywords: Bayesian hierarchical modeling; generalized Pareto distribution; spatial data analysis; statistical downscaling
TL;DR:
A new statistical approach is developed to make full use of the reduced form model to study the effects of various control strategies on the probability and magnitude of extreme ozone events, and finds that reducing mobile-source emissions has a larger impact than reducing point- source emissions or a combination of several emission sources.
