    The seesaw effect of winter temperature change on the recruitment of cotton bollworms Helicoverpa armigera through mismatched phenology 

    Reddy, Gadi V. P.; Shi, Peijian; Hui, Cang; Cheng, Xiaofei; Ouyang, Fang; Ge, Feng (John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2015)
    Knowing how climate change affects the population dynamics of insect pests is critical for the future of integrated pest management. Rising winter temperatures from global warming can drive increases in outbreaks of some ...

    Unlocking patterns of nature - the marriage of mathematics and ecology 

    Hui, Cang (Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2015-03)
    Professor Cang Hui was born in the ancient capital of China, Xi’an, where the Terracotta Warriors were unearthed. In 1994, he went to Xi’an Jiaotong University, a C9 League, and obtained his BSc in applied mathematics ...

    Zeta diversity as a concept and metric that unifies incidence-based biodiversity patterns 

    Hui, Cang; McGeoch, Melodie A. (The University of Chicago Press, 2014-11)
    Patterns in species incidence and compositional turnover are central to understanding what drives biodiversity. Here we propose zeta (ζ) diversity, the number of species shared by multiple assemblages, as a concept and ...

    Effects of agricultural intensification on ability of natural enemies to control aphids 

    Zhao, Zi-Hua; Hui, Cang; He, Da-Han; Li, Bai-Lian (Springer Nature, 2015-01-26)
    Agricultural intensification through increasing fertilization input and cropland expansion has caused rapid loss of semi-natural habitats and the subsequent loss of natural enemies of agricultural pests. It is however extremely ...

    Capturing spiral radial growth of conifers using the superellipse to model tree-ring geometric shape 

    Shi, Pei-Jian; Huang, Jian-Guo; Hui, Cang; Grissino-Mayer, Henri D.; Tardif, Jacques C.; Zhai, Li-Hong; Wang, Fu-Sheng; Li, Bai-Lian (Frontiers Media, 2015)
    Tree-rings are often assumed to approximate a circular shape when estimating forest productivity and carbon dynamics. However, tree rings are rarely, if ever, circular, thereby possibly resulting in under- or over-estimation ...

    The impact of land abandonment on species richness and abundance in the Mediterranean Basin : a meta-analysis 

    Plieninger, Tobias; Hui, Cang; Gaertner, Mirijam; Huntsinger, Lynn (PLoS, 2014-05-27)
    Land abandonment is common in the Mediterranean Basin, a global biodiversity hotspot, but little is known about its impacts on biodiversity. To upscale existing case-study insights to the Pan-Mediterranean level, we conducted ...

    An optimal proportion of mixing broad-leaved forest for enhancing the effective productivity of moso bamboo 

    Cheng, Xiao-Fei; Shi, Pei-Jian; Hui, Cang; Wang, Fu-Sheng; Liu, Guo-Hua; Li, Bai-Lian (John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2015-03-17)
    Moso bamboos (Phyllostachys edulis) are important forestry plants in southern China, with substantial roles to play in regional economic and ecological systems. Mixing broad-leaved forests and moso bamboos is a common ...

    Spatial assortment of mixed propagules explains the acceleration of range expansion 

    Ramanantoanina, Andriamihaja; Ouhinou, Aziz; Hui, Cang (Public Library of Science, 2014-08)
    Abstract Range expansion of spreading organisms has been found to follow three types: (i) linear expansion with a constant rate of spread; (ii) bi-phase expansion with a faster linear expansion following a slower linear ...

    Invading a mutualistic network : to be or not to be similar 

    Minoarivelo, Henintsoa Onivola; Hui, Cang (Wiley Open Access, 2016)
    Biological invasion remains a major threat to biodiversity in general and a disruptor to mutualistic interactions in particular. While a number of empirical studies have directly explored the role of invasion in mutualistic ...

    A geometrical model for testing bilateral symmetry of bamboo leaf with a simplified Gielis equation 

    Lin, Shuyan; Zhang, Li; Reddy, Gadi V. P.; Hui, Cang; Gielis, Johan; Ding, Yulong; Shi, Peijian (Wiley Open Access, 2016)
    The size and shape of plant leaves change with growth, and an accurate description of leaf shape is crucial for describing plant morphogenesis and development. Bilateral symmetry, which has been widely observed but poorly ...
