‘Should’ and ‘can’ active restoration be used in biodiversity offsets? Stakeholder perspectives from New South Wales, Australia

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Despite their controversial nature, biodiversity offsets are often used as a regulatory tool to counterbalance the impacts of land clearing on biodiversity. Offsets usually aim to achieve no net loss (NNL) of biodiversity through protection and/or restoration of habitat.

Temporal dynamics of co‐inoculation of Leptosphaeria maculans and Leptosphaeria biglobosa determine interspecific competition and disease development on oilseed rape

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
This study provides evidence that the timing of co‐inoculation of Leptosphaeria maculans and Leptosphaeria biglobosa determine the outcome of interspecific competition and disease development on their host oilseed rape. Abstract BACKGROUND Phoma stem canker is one of the most economically damaging diseases of oilseed rape, caused by co‐existing fungal ...

Evaluating astigmatid mites as supplemental food for Macrolophus pygmaeus: contrasting responses between commercial and wild populations

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Astigmatid mites provide low‐cost supplemental food for Macrolophus pygmaeus, supporting survival and development, with population‐specific responses and Acarus siro and Carpoglyphus lactis as the most promising alternatives. Abstract BACKGROUND Early establishment of Macrolophus pygmaeus in crops depends on the availability of supplemental food ...

Drought stress modulates indirect defense via bottom‐up effects in tomato and wheat

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Different water regimes can have a significant impact on plant morphology and defense pathways in tomato and wheat, triggering multiple olfactory choices in biocontrol agents of key insect pests. These findings could be used to implement biocontrol strategies within the IPM context under a changing climate scenario.
