COCKPIT-PLUS: A proposed method for rapid groundwater vulnerability-driven land use zoning in tropical cockpit karst areas

Karst groundwater is highly vulnerable to contamination, which urges better land use zoning.This paper proposes a new approach, called COCKPIT-PLUS, to minimize groundwater contamination within cockpit karst regions.The method employed four parameters: P (the existence of ponor/swallow hole), L (lineament density), U (sinking stream to an undergrou

Seasonality and alternative floral resources affect reproductive success of the alfalfa leafcutting bee, Megachile rotundata

Background Managed populations of the alfalfa leafcutting bee (ALCB), Megachile rotundata (F.), are often not sustainable.In addition to numerous mortality factors that contribute to this, the dense bee populations used to maximize alfalfa pollination quickly deplete floral resources available to bees later in the summer.Providing alternative flora
