Their presence ranges from southeastern Mexico and has so far been confirmed only in tropical habitats. This publication seeks to highlight the current and potential challenges associated with their presence. For decades, the use of chemical insecticides has been the primary method for controlling locust populations, though these substances pose significant risks to human health and the environment. Recent research efforts are directed toward developing control methods that are less detrimental to both ecological and human health, such as biopesticides derived from pathogenic fungi, plant extracts, and strategically prescribed burns. Satellite surveillance enables the monitoring of the origination and progression of outbreaks to inform control strategy selection.展开更多

Among these disturbances, westerly wind bursts(WWBs) play a crucial role in the development of El Ni?o by generating eastward-propagating downwelling Kelvin waves and suppressing the thermocline in the central-eastern equatorial Pacific. The present work elucidates distinct seasonal evolutions of WWBs during cyclic and noncyclic El Ni?o events, and their association with the local sea surface temperature anomalies(SSTAs). For noncyclic El Ni?o events, WWBs prevail over the western-central equatorial Pacific during spring of the developing year, accompanied by local warming SSTAs. In contrast, active WWBs cannot be observed until the developing summer for cyclic El Ni?o events. Significant differences in high-frequency WWBs and associated local deep convection appear in the developing spring season of noncyclic and cyclic El Ni?o events. These differences are closely linked to local SSTAs in the western-central equatorial Pacific via the stimulation of atmospheric deep convection,preceding the full manifestation of ENSO-associated large-scale SSTAs in the central-eastern tropical Pacific. The observed difference in WWBs for noncyclic and cyclic El Ni?o events and its association with the western-central equatorial Pacific SSTAs is realistically reproduced in a coupled general circulation model. This study enhances our comprehension of El Ni?o development by illustrating the intricate connection between WWBs and El Ni?o evolution from the ENSO cycle perspective.展开更多
