1. Sampling Bumble Bees and Floral Resources Using Deep Learning and UAV ImageryPollinators, essential components of natural and agricultural systems, forage over relatively large spatial scales. This is especially true of large generalist species, like bumble bees. Thus, it can be difficult to estimate the amount and diversity of floral resources available to them. Floral cover and diversity are often estimated over large areas by extrapolation from small scale samples (e.g., a 1-m quadrat) but the accuracy of such estimates can vary depending on the spatial patchiness of...

2. Detection of Sorghum Aphids with Advanced Machine VisionSorghum aphid, Melanaphis sorghi (Theobald), became a significant pest concern due to the significant yield losses caused in the sorghum production region. Different management practices, including monitoring and applying insecticides, have been used to manage this invasive pest in sorghum. The most common management strategy consists of visual assessments of aphids on sorghum leaves to determine an economic threshold level to spray. However, because of their rapid reproduction,... I.A.
