“…Among the various possible numbers of sweeps that can be carried out for sampling, 100 sweeps form a common sampling unit [ 24 , 27 , 29 , 30 ]. Since the number of units of sweeping may vary with the target taxa range, the study area, the purpose, and the efficiency, studies standardizing and optimizing the number of units are limited [ 92 ]. Although the process of dividing the 100 sampling units into 50- or 10-sweep subsamples, along with the identification and counting of insect samples, is labor-intensive, it can evaluate the number of sampling sweeps required for an efficient environmental assessment.…”

To investigate insect and plant community relationships in riparian zones, terrestrial insect communities were compared in plant communities in the riparian zone of the Miho River, Korea. The sweep netting method was used to sample insects in 50 m transects in three herbaceous plant communities. In 2020, each plant community—Chenopodium album, Beckmannia syzigachne, and Artemisia indica—was swept 100 times (50 sweeps × 2). In 2021, two communities had an additional 100 sweeps collected using 10 subsamples of 10 sweeps (excluding C. album communities). The surveyed dominant species or subdominant species of the insect community in each site preyed on the dominant plant species at the site. The Bray–Curtis similarity was significantly higher than the Sørensen similarity when comparing datasets across different years for the same plant species community. The predicted optimum sampling size to obtain approximately 80% of the total species estimated to be at each survey site, for effective quantitative collection of terrestrial insect herbivores in each plant community, was examined. Fifty sweeps were required for the A. indica community and 100 sweeps were required for the B. syzigachne community. The results of this study provide important data for riparian biodiversity conservation and future pest monitoring.

Drought has a significant impact on plants, affecting their growth, development and survival. This study focuses on evaluating the impact of drought stress, a significant abiotic factor, on the agronomic and fiber parameters of potential cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) lines with the aim of developing drought-tolerant varieties. The experiment involved two irrigation regimes—well-watered (100% field capacity) and deficit irrigation (50% field capacity)—conducted on F9–F10 generations. Key fiber parameters, including fiber length, boll weight, fiber strength, and lint percentage, were identified as crucial selection criteria under both well-watered and deficit irrigation conditions. Notably, boll number emerged as the decisive parameter in both F9 and F10 generations. The study employed univariate and multivariate analyses, such as PCA, heat map cluster, correlation analysis, and decision tree, which consistently highlighted fiber length, boll weight, fiber strength and lint (ginning) percentage the key factor. In the F10 generation, the integration of decision tree and heat map cluster results led to the identification of 8 promising lines. These selected genotypes have potential for inclusion in future cotton breeding programmes, offering the opportunity to increase drought tolerance and improve cotton yield and productivity. Their resilience to environmental stresses makes them promising candidates for improving overall cotton performance under challenging conditions.
