Abstract Scaphoideus titanus (Ball) is a Nearctic leafhopper (Cicadellidae: Deltocephalinae), monophagous on Vitis spp., naturalized in European vineyards since the 20th century. Following its introduction and establishment in Europe, S. titanus became the main vector of Flavescence dorée phytoplasma (FDp) to grapevine. FDp causes heavy economic losses

Noise pollution as a major disturbance of avian predation in Amsterdam
Trophic interactions play a key role in maintaining ecological balance. In urban environments, avian predation has been demonstrated to be particularly important due to its effects on community structure, pest control, and nutrient cycling. As humanity relies upon ecosystem services for sustenance, and with 70% of the global population projected to ...

Biological control of aphids in the presence of thrips and their enemies
Generalist predators are often used in biological control programs, although they can be detrimental for pest control through interference with other natural enemies.

Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract One of the most prevalent symbioses on Earth is that formed between the majority of land plants and arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi. Through these intimate associations, AM fungi transfer soil nutrients to their plant hosts in exchange for photosynthetically fixed ...

Diversification linked to larval host plant in the butterfly Eumedonia eumedon
Abstract It is widely accepted that the relationship between phytophagous insects and their host plants influences insect diversification. However, studies addressed at documenting host‐associated genetic differentiation (HAD) and the mechanisms that drive reproductive isolation in host‐associated lineages (or host races) are still scarce relative to ...

Quantification of avoidable yield losses in oilseed Brassica caused by insect pests [PDF]
A six year field study was conducted from 2001 2002 to 2006 2007 at Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana, India to study the losses in seed yield of different Brassica species (B. juncea, B. napus, B. carinata, B. rapa and Eruca sativa) by the infestation of insect pests. The experiment was conducted in two different sets viz. protected/sprayed and
