Soil sensors and plant wearables play a critical role in smart and precision agriculture via
monitoring real‐time physical and chemical signals in the soil, such as temperature …

▪ Abstract Thrips are among the stealthiest of insect invaders due to their small size and
cryptic habits. Many invasive thrips are notorious for causing extensive crop damage …

Measuring biodiversity is a challenging task for research in taxonomy, ecology and
conservation. Biodiversity is commonly measured using metrics related to species richness …

Historically, early stress-induced changes in plants have been mainly detected after
destructive sampling followed by biochemical and molecular determinations. Imaging …

Almost 30 years ago, a distinguished soil physical‐chemist, Grant W. Thomas, voiced
serious concern about what he saw in the soil science literature as more a preoccupation …

Simple Summary A variety of different acoustic devices has been commercialized for
detection of hidden insect infestations in stored products, trees, and soil, including a recently …

This paper provides an overview of the recent literature on electronic, remote-sensing and
computer-based techniques for observing and monitoring insect movement in the field and …

Ecoacoustics—or acoustic ecology—aids in monitoring elusive and protected species in
several ecological contexts. For example, passive acoustic monitoring (PAM), which …

Recent studies have shown that root‐feeding insects can be of considerable importance in
terms of agricultural damage, their indirect impacts on above‐ground herbivores and their …

The automated identification of biological objects or groups has been a dream among
taxonomists and systematists for centuries. However, progress in designing and …
