We present the first comprehensive collection of ozone data over the oceans and the polar regions. The overall data set consists of 77 ship cruises/buoy-based observations and 48 aircraft-based campaigns. The data set, consisting of more than 630,000 independent ozone measurement data points covering the period from 1977 to 2022 and an altitude range from the surface to 5000 m (with a focus on the lowest 2000 m), allows systematic analyses of the spatio-temporal distribution and long-term trends over the defined 11 ocean/polar regions. The data sets from ships, buoys, and aircrafts are complemented with an ozonesonde data set from 29 launch sites or field campaigns, and by 21 non-polar and 17 polar ground-based stations data sets. The data were combined with information on how long the air masses have been over the oceans (LCL), based on backward trajectories. Here using the threshold of 72 hours or more (LCL >=72) is recommended to extract essentially oceanic observations. The ship/buoy- and aircraft-based data sets presented here will supplement the land-based ones in the TOAR-II database to provide a fully global assessment of tropospheric ozone.　See more at https://essd.copernicus.org/preprints/essd-2024-566/ (this URL will be changed after acceptance of discussion paper.)

The functional and numerical response and the mutual interference are key components in the selection of parasitoids for biological control. In this study, functional and numerical responses and mutual interference of Goniozus legneri to different densities of fifth instar Cydia pomonella larvae were studied under laboratory conditions. Logistic regression was used to determine a type II functional response. The attack rate, handling time, the parasitoid searching efficiency and the maximum mortality rate were estimated by fitting the Holling model to the data. The numerical response of the parasitoid did not vary based on the availability of codling moth larvae. The negative value of the interference coefficient (–0.228) in the mutual interference analysis showed an inverse relationship between parasitoid density and per capita searching efficiency. It is concluded that a ratio of parasitoid density equal to C. pomonella density is the most effective ratio when programming release trials. The findings of this study contribute significantly to increasing the knowledge of G. legneri and its potential as a biocontrol agent.

This is the AmeriFlux Management Project (AMP) created FLUXNET-1F version of the carbon flux data for the site AR-CCg Carlos Casares grassland. This is the FLUXNET version of the carbon flux data for the site AR-CCg Carlos Casares grassland produced by applying the standard ONEFlux (1F) software. Site Description - This tower is located in a lot dedicated to livestock, within an agricultural establishment. The vegetation is an 8-year-old implanted pasture and grazing is rotational.

AbstractFasciolosis is a parasitic disease considered as emerging and neglected by the WHO. Sheep are highly susceptible to this disease, and affected flocks experience decreased productivity due to increased mortality and reduced quality of their products such as wool and meat. To effectively control this disease, reliable and early diagnosis is essential for making decisions regarding the application of antiparasitics and/or the removal of affected animals.The current diagnosis of F. hepatica in sheep relies on the detection of parasite eggs in feces, a method that becomes reliable from week 10 post-infection. Consequently, there is a need for earlier diagnostic tools based on immune response. However, the obtaining of antigens for antibody detection has proven to be difficult and expensive.In this study, we compared the performance of recombinant F. hepatica Kunitz-type inhibitors (FhKT1.1, FhKT1.3, and FhKT4) in sera from experimentally F. hepatica-infected sheep six weeks post-infection with a synthetic Kunitz-type peptide (sFhKT) used as antigens by ELISA. Among these, FhKT1.1 showed the most promising diagnostic indicators, exhibiting high precision and low cross-reactivity, thus holding potential for standardized production.The results of our study demonstrated that the application of FhKT1.1 is a valuable tool for early-stage diagnosis of F. hepatica in sheep. Such an early diagnosis can aid in implementing timely interventions and effectively managing the disease in sheep populations

The raw data correspond to a test carried out with extracts from the combination of Chinabeery tree (Melia azedarach) parts and several solvents with different polarity to control the horn fly (Haematobia irritans). This fly is a hematophagous parasite of cattle, usually increase the production costs, and it is currently controlled by pyrethroids and organophosphates. By this, the study is mainly to expposure fly to differents extract concentratiosn at different times, to probe the insecticidal effectiveness of the natural extracts. We also chemical charaterize the extracts through Gas-Chromatography-Mass Spectroscopy.
