Electronic Supplementary Material for the paper A. Kandiah, I. S. Jones, N. V. Movchan, A. B. Movchan, Effect of Gravity on the Dispersion and Wave Localisation in Gyroscopic Elastic Systems. In: Mechanics of Heterogeneous Materials, Chapter 11, 2023. DOI : 10.1007/978-3-031-28744-2_11
The electronic supplementary material provides videos illustrating the waveforms associated with the gyroscopic periodic waveguides. The paper presents new work on gravity-induced wave motion of gyroscopic systems composed of gyropendulums connected by elastic springs. Classification of trajectories of a single gyropendulum is given, followed by the Floquet-Bloch analysis of the dispersion and localisation for waves within a periodic gyroscopic chain. We construct Green's matrices to identify regimes of propagating modes and wave localisation, which correspond to elliptical motions of the nodal elements. The waveforms subjected to gravity for localised defect modes are discussed in addition to the effect of no pre-tension along the chiral chain
Dataset: Floral presence and flower identity alter cereal aphid endosymbiont communities on adjacent crops
Floral plantings adjacent to crop fields can recruit populations of natural enemies by providing flower nectar and non-crop prey to increase natural pest regulation. Observed variation in success rates might be due to changes in the unseen community of endosymbionts hosted by many herbivorous insects, of which some can confer resistance to natural enemies, e.g. parasitoid wasps. Reduced insect control may occur if highly protective symbiont combinations increase in frequency via selection effects, and this is expected to be stronger in lower diversity systems.
We used a large-scale field trial to analyse the bacterial endosymbiont communities hosted by cereal aphids (Sitobion avenae) collected along transects into strip plots of barley plants managed by either conventional or integrated (including floral field margins and reduced inputs) methods. In addition, we conducted an outdoor pot experiment to analyse endosymbionts in S. avenae aphids collected on barley plants that were either grown alone or alongside one of three flowering plants, across three time points.
In the field, aphids hosted up to four symbionts. The abundance of aphids and parasitoid wasps was reduced towards the middle of all fields while aphid symbiont species richness and diversity decreased into the field in conventional, but not integrated, field-strips. The proportion of aphids hosting different symbiont combinations varied across cropping systems, with distances into the fields, and was correlated with parasitoid wasp abundances.
In the pot experiment, aphids hosted up to six symbionts. Flower presence increased natural enemy abundance and diversity, and decreased aphid abundance. The proportion of aphids hosting different symbiont combinations varied across the flower treatment and time and were correlated with varying abundances of the different specialist parasitoid wasp species recruited by different flowers.
Synthesis and applications. Floral plantings and flower identity had community-wide impacts on the combinations of bacterial endosymbionts hosted by herbivorous insects, which correlated with natural enemy diversity and abundance. We recommend that integrated management practices incorporate floral resources within field areas to support a more functionally diverse and resilient natural enemy community to mitigate selection for symbiont-mediated pest resistance throughout the cropping area

Observations of cabbage stem flea beetle abundance, associated crop damage and levels of larval infestation, and arthropod trapping data for oilseed rape fields in Lower Saxony, Germany.
The cabbage stem flea beetle (Psylliodes chrysocephala) is a significant pest of rapeseed (Brassica napus). Adult P. chrysocephala feeding can cause severe leaf damage and larval infestation can reduce stem strength, both of which impact crop growth and development, causing substantial yield losses and economic damage. The structure of the agricultural landscape can regulate herbivorous pest populations through top-down and bottom-up processes. This has shown promise in regulating the populations of other herbivorous pests, but remains relatively unexplored for P. chrysocephala.
This dataset is associated with a study where we investigate how the structure of the agricultural landscape influences P. chrysocephala abundance (pest pressure) and associated crop damage. This associated dataset includes observations of cabbage stem flea beetle abundance, associated crop damage and levels of larval infestation, and arthropod trapping data for oilseed rape fields in Lower Saxony, Germany. All data were collected between September and November 2021. Data include: 1) Observations of weekly pest pressure for each field, comprising weekly observations for five-weeks from 27.09.2021 until 25.10.2021; 2) feeding damage assessments for 200 plants per field in September (w/c 27.09.2021) and October (25.10.2021); 3) Larval infestation for 50 plants per field in November (22.11.2021); 4) And arthropod trap data for each field at three timepoints (September, October, and November)
