The functional role of ants in no‐till cropping systems
Ants provide valuable ecosystem services in tropical agriculture, but their roles in temperate row crops remain poorly understood. Conservation practices such as no‐till farming and cover cropping support ant communities that contribute to pest suppression, weed seed removal, and soil quality, which can increase crop productivity.

Insect pests in Brassica napus crops: toward ecologically optimized integrated pest management
Ecologically optimized IPM: Integrating landscape, biological, and chemical strategies for enhanced pest management. Key findings: Optimizing canola IPM requires the deliberate alignment of habitat diversification, behavioral conditioning, and evolutionary processes.

Rodent outbreaks have significant socio‐economic impacts worldwide, and anticipation is crucial for timely management decisions. We combined rainfall and periodicity data to provide an early warning signal of vole population growth in Mediterranean farmlands, a year in advance of a peak.

Domestic composters enable year‐round emergence of Drosophila suzukii, buffering winter temperatures and supporting larval development, potentially enhancing overwintering survival and early‐season crop reinfestation. Abstract BACKGROUND Drosophila suzukii is an invasive pest established worldwide, including in temperate regions with harsh winters.

Norway rat ectoparasite burden varied by residential microhabitat, host traits, and trap type, showing that urban rodent management should address both rat burden and ectoparasite persistence in residential buildings. Abstract BACKGROUND Norway rats, Rattus norvegicus (Berkenhout), can carry ectoparasites of public health importance.

The predatory effect of the honey‐buzzard affects the reproductive performance of Asian‐hornet colonies, decreasing the density of workers over distance and time. The foraging distances of the honey‐buzzard concentrates within the first 2000 m from nest, which supports the results observed.

Precipitation growth and decay due to orography was analyzed using the radar network in Great Britain. Storm direction and speed modulate the intensity of precipitation growth or decay. Windward slopes predominantly exhibit precipitation growth, while leeward areas show precipitation decay.
