Spilonota ocellana (Denis and Schiffermüller) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) can be a serious pest of organic apples (Malus domestica Borkhausen (Rosaceae)) in British Columbia, Canada. Recent discovery that S. ocellana moths are attracted by a lure combining acetic acid (AA) and benzyl nitrile (BN), identified as a caterpillar-induced apple leaf volatile, provides an opportunity to develop bisexual mass-trapping or monitoring systems. Sticky white delta traps baited with benzyl nitrile (10 mg/red rubber septum) and an acetic-acid co-lure (3 mL AA/3-mm open 8-mL vial) caught significantly more moths than either component alone. Acetic-acid co-lures were weakly attractive but benzyl-nitrile-loaded septa were not attractive. Moth catches with AA+BN lures were unaffected by the size and type of rubber septum used to release benzyl nitrile, but catches increased with increasing loads of benzyl nitrile. Male and total moth catches were maximised using membrane release devices loaded with a mixture of benzyl nitrile and a second caterpillar-induced volatile, 2-phenylethanol (PET), in combination with an acetic-acid co-lure (AA+BN-PET). Female catches with AA+BN-PET and AA+BN lures were equivalent. Placing AA+BN lures in traps baited with female sex pheromone lures reduced male catches, but female catches were unchanged. When sticky liners were replaced weekly, white delta traps baited with AA+BN lures caught more moths than similarly baited white Multipher®-I bucket traps, or transparent UnitrapsTM. Multipher-I traps with a propylene glycol killing agent (250 mL) caught more moths than those with Vapona insecticide strips. In apple orchards treated with mating disruption sex pheromones, traps baited with AA+BN caught slightly more total moths than traps baited with sex pheromone. Weekly, total male+female moth catches with either AA+BN or sex pheromone lures showed similar seasonal patterns in both untreated and pheromone-disrupted orchards, respectively. Long-lasting release devices and an organic killing agent are needed to develop certified organic mass-trapping technologies for management of S. ocellana with the AA+BN kairomone.

Pandemis limitata (Robinson) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) is one of several leaf-feeding caterpillar pests of commercial tree-fruit crops in British Columbia, Canada. Recent discovery that European Pandemis Hübner species are attracted by lures combining acetic acid and the caterpillar-induced apple-leaf volatiles, 2-phenylethanol, and phenylacetonitrile, prompted our examination of P. limitata response to these compounds. Trapping tests in organic apple orchards revealed that neither of these individual benzenoids, nor their binary combination, was attractive. Acetic acid alone was weakly attractive, but more importantly, catches increased significantly when an acetic-acid co-lure was combined with 2-phenylethanol or phenylacetonitrile, individually and together. Catches of male and female P. limitata with acetic acid+2-phenylethanol, or acetic acid+2-phenylethanol+phenylacetonitrile were similar, respectively, and both sexes were caught significantly less often in traps baited with acetic acid+phenylacetonitrile. When combined with acetic-acid co-lures, traps baited with membrane dispensers releasing 2-phenylethanol at ~1 mg/day caught significantly more moths than traps baited with rubber septa lures releasing 2-phenylethanol at ~0.6 mg/day. Moth catches in traps baited with 2-phenylethanol were unaffected when the emission of acetic-acid co-lures was increased from ~28 to 63 mg/day. Catches of male P. limitata in traps baited with sex pheromone were significantly greater than catches in traps baited with acetic acid+2-phenylethanol, or traps baited with a ternary blend of acetic acid+2-phenylethanol+sex pheromone. Catches of female P. limitata in traps baited with acetic acid+2-phenylethanol were significantly reduced when it was combined with sex pheromone. Use of the ternary acetic acid+2-phenylethanol+phenylacetonitrile blend provides an opportunity to develop multispecies bisexual trapping systems to improve management of sympatric tortricid pests currently causing economic losses in organic apples in British Columbia. More work on long-lasting release devices, nonsaturating traps, and organically acceptable killing agents are needed to develop organic mass-trapping systems.

Objective
To investigate the association of seasonality with dietary diversity, household food security and nutritional status of pregnant women in a rural district of northern Bangladesh.
DesignA cross-sectional study was conducted from February 2013 to February 2015. Data were collected on demographics, household food security (using the Household Food Insecurity Access Scale), dietary diversity (using the women’s dietary diversity questionnaire) and mid-upper arm circumference. Descriptive statistics were used to explore demographics, dietary diversity, household food security and nutritional status, and inferential statistics were applied to explore the role of seasonality on diversity, household food security and nutritional status.
SettingTwelve villages of Pirganj sub-district, Rangpur District, northern Bangladesh.
SubjectsPregnant women (n 288).
ResultsSeasonality was found to be associated with dietary diversity (P=0·026) and household food security (P=0·039). Dietary diversity was significantly lower in summer (P=0·029) and spring (P=0·038). Food security deteriorated significantly in spring (P=0·006) and late autumn (P=0·009).
ConclusionSeasons play a role in women’s household food security status and dietary diversity, with food security deteriorating during the lean seasons and dietary diversity deteriorating during the second ‘lesser’ lean season and the season immediately after. Interventions that aim to improve the diet of pregnant women from low-income, subsistence-farming communities need to recognise the role of seasonality on diet and food security and to incorporate initiatives to prevent seasonal declines.

We present the results of an approximately 6 100 deg2 104–196 MHz radio sky survey performed with the Murchison Widefield Array during instrument commissioning between 2012 September and 2012 December: the MWACS. The data were taken as meridian drift scans with two different 32-antenna sub-arrays that were available during the commissioning period. The survey covers approximately 20.5 h < RA < 8.5 h, − 58° < Dec < −14°over three frequency bands centred on 119, 150 and 180 MHz, with image resolutions of 6–3 arcmin. The catalogue has 3 arcmin angular resolution and a typical noise level of 40 mJy beam− 1, with reduced sensitivity near the field boundaries and bright sources. We describe the data reduction strategy, based upon mosaicked snapshots, flux density calibration, and source-finding method. We present a catalogue of flux density and spectral index measurements for 14 110 sources, extracted from the mosaic, 1 247 of which are sub-components of complexes of sources.

Significant new opportunities for astrophysics and cosmology have been identified at low radio frequencies. The Murchison Widefield Array is the first telescope in the southern hemisphere designed specifically to explore the low-frequency astronomical sky between 80 and 300 MHz with arcminute angular resolution and high survey efficiency. The telescope will enable new advances along four key science themes, including searching for redshifted 21-cm emission from the EoR in the early Universe; Galactic and extragalactic all-sky southern hemisphere surveys; time-domain astrophysics; and solar, heliospheric, and ionospheric science and space weather. The Murchison Widefield Array is located in Western Australia at the site of the planned Square Kilometre Array (SKA) low-band telescope and is the only low-frequency SKA precursor facility. In this paper, we review the performance properties of the Murchison Widefield Array and describe its primary scientific objectives.

Summary
The North Sea's fattyness is, after its saltiness, a peculiar property, … It should be assumed here that in the ocean as on land there exists, here and there, seepages of running oily liquids or streams of petroleum, naptha, sulphur, coal-oils and other bituminous liquids.
Translated from Erich Pontoppidan, 1752This chapter begins with a review of the pioneering work undertaken on the Scotian Shelf, off eastern Canada, by L. H. King and his colleagues at the Bedford Institute of Oceanography. However, having ‘cut our teeth’ in the North Sea, the pockmarks and seeps here have become the standard against which we compare those of other areas. Consequently it is appropriate to review our early studies of North Sea pockmarks. This provides a historical perspective on pockmark research, and indicates how this early work led us to the conclusions that pockmarks and seabed seeps are important geological phenomena and indicators of processes associated with seabed fluid flow. In some cases the sites we visited early on have been the subjects of further work. This is also reviewed here.
By the end of this chapter it becomes clear that seeps and pockmarks, along with the associated carbonates and biological communities, are components of the important hydrocarbon cycle.

Seabed fluid flow involves the flow of gases and liquids through the seabed. Such fluids have been found to leak through the seabed into the marine environment in seas and oceans around the world - from the coasts to deep ocean trenches. This geological phenomenon has widespread implications for the sub-seabed, seabed, and marine environments. Seabed fluid flow affects seabed morphology, mineralization, and benthic ecology. Natural fluid emissions also have a significant impact on the composition of the oceans and atmosphere; and gas hydrates and hydrothermal minerals are potential future resources. This book describes seabed fluid flow features and processes, and demonstrates their importance to human activities and natural environments. It is targeted at research scientists and professionals with interests in the marine environment. Colour versions of many of the illustrations, and additional material - most notably feature location maps - can be found at www.cambridge.org/9780521819503.

Summary
Migration is like Einstein's watch. Observations concerning its operation can be made, but since opening the system is not permitted, only hypotheses about its operation, consistent with these operations, can be made. The movement of hydrocarbons in the deep and shallow subsurface is a complex balance of processes. We can draw conclusions based only on our observations. We may never know if these conclusions are correct for any given situation.
Martin D. Matthews, 1996Wide varieties of seabed features are formed as fluids migrate towards and emerge from the seabed; these include pockmarks and mud volcanoes. The nature and distribution of these features are dependent upon the supply of fluids, and the formations (rock and/or sediment) through which they migrate. To understand the formation of seabed fluid flow features and processes, various physical forces, including external triggers, must be considered.

Summary
A look at the exploration history of the important oil areas of the world proves conclusively that oil and gas seeps gave the first clues to most oil-producing regions. Many great oil fields are the direct result of seepage drilling.
Link, 1952Some marine geohazards, with the potential to affect offshore operations, are associated with seabed fluid flow. The petroleum industry, in particular, has learned from experience that these geohazards must be recognised and understood, and that safeguards must be in place if serious consequences are to be avoided. But seabed fluid flow is not always a negative thing. It provides resources such as methane and metals, and acts as a guide to others, particularly petroleum. However, the marine environment is sensitive and biological communities associated with vents and seeps are uncommon and fragile – they require protection.

Summary
Although no single, unequivocal proof exists for the hypothesis we present, a broad range of evidence suggests it. We expect reluctance by scientists to support such an idea at this stage without further testing, but if the hypothesis holds, it will require a major shift in thinking about what drives Quaternary climate change.
James Kennett, 2002, in an interview with Lifland about the reaction to his book: Methane hydrates in Quaternary climate change: The Clathrate Gun Hypothesis (Lifland, 2002)Once through the seabed, fluids of any origin contribute to, and in some cases, significantly affect, the marine environment. The chemical, physical, and biological nature of seawater may be affected by seabed fluid flow. Even in the deep oceans, emissions from hydrothermal vents, cold seeps, and mud volcanoes are influential. However, a proportion of some components passes through the hydrosphere and enters the atmosphere. Methane is one of these components. Contributions to atmospheric methane by the oceans, and in particular the seabed, are poorly understood, but may be important not only to today's climate, but also to global climate change over geological time-scales.

Summary
The importance of gas in transmitting, marking and altering sediments and of its traces as clues to depositional, paleo-ecological and diagenetic history is not generally appreciated.
Cloud, 1960Gas generated beneath the seabed is buoyant, and tends to migrate towards the surface. Geological conditions may impede its progress, so shallow gas accumulations are formed. The exact nature of these accumulations depends on the type of sediment they are held in. Also, in certain pressure and temperature conditions, migrating gas may be sequestered by the formation of gas hydrates. Evidence is provided by various forms of acoustic signal recorded on seismic profiles, and is supported by the results of drilling, as well as the occurrence of natural gas seeps at the seabed.
Gas beneath the seabed is not a geological curiosity, but is common-place and widespread.

Summary
A major realization at this ‘meeting of minds’ was that many carbonate mounds, bioherms or reefs described in geological literature were in fact the product of chemosynthesis. Similarly, biologists became aware that chemosynthesis was deeply rooted in the geological past and may be traceable as far back as the origin of life itself.
Beauchamp and von Bitter, 1992Mineral precipitation occurs at the seabed in two circumstances in association with seabed fluid flow: microbial utilisation of fluids, and in response to changes in physical and chemical conditions. This chapter starts with an investigation of the nature and origin of methane-derived authigenic carbonate (MDAC). This leads to a discussion of the influences of fluid flow on the formation of other types of marine carbonate including those associated with biological activity, such as stromatolites and deep-water coral reefs. Non-carbonate minerals are formed as a result of precipitation and fluid-flow processes. We discuss the metalliferous deposits formed by hydrothermal activity at ocean-spreading centres, and by cool-water submarine seepage. Finally there is a discussion of the possible modes of formation of ferromanganese nodules, including the hypothesis that they were formed as a result of seabed fluid flow.

Summary
The development of an observational science like geology depends upon the personal experience of individual workers. I suggest that, with certain reservations, the best geologist is he who has seen the most rocks.
H. H. ReadIt is impossible to review all the data, reports, and publications of examples of seabed fluid flow. This chapter, organised as a round-the-world tour, comprises descriptions of examples of features associated with seabed fluid flow: pockmarks, seeps, mud volcanoes, and gas hydrates. The chapter provides the basic information required to undertake more analytical studies of these features, the processes that are responsible for them, and their implications.

Summary
‘Seabed fluid flow’ encompasses a wide range of fluids (gases and liquids) that pass from sediments to seawater, involving natural processes that modern science would pigeon-hole into a wide range of disciplines, mainly in the geosciences, biosciences, chemical sciences, environmental sciences, and ocean sciences; they also impinge on (or are affected by) human activities. With our background, it is inevitable that the most prominent fluid in this book is methane. There is a vast literature on hydrothermal vents, and a growing interest in submarine groundwater discharge with which we do not wish to compete. However, we recognise the importance of considering all forms of seabed fluid flow so that similarities and differences in the processes may be considered. We have attempted to assimilate all forms, manifestations, and consequences of seabed fluid flow of whatever origin.
It is impossible, in a single volume, to do justice to such a multidisciplinary subject. The pace of research has progressively increased since our own interests in pockmarks and seeps began. Of particular significance is the move of the petroleum industry from the continental shelves into the deeper waters of the continental slope and rise; this has rejuvenated research in deep-seabed processes, and has resulted in rethinking many old ideas not least because of the discovery of many deep-water features associated with seabed fluid flow.

Summary
Discovery commences with the awareness of anomaly, i.e. with the recognition that nature has somehow violated the paradigm-induced expectations that govern normal science.
Kuhn, 1970This chapter introduces the concept that seabed fluid flow is a widespread and important natural process. It has important consequences for subseabed and seabed geological features, and also for marine biological processes, and the composition of the oceans. Seabed fluid flow provides both hazards and benefits for human activities, and it is recognised that some sites are precious and need protection.
