Metam‐sodium is commonly used as a preplant fumigant to reduce the presence of Fusarium spp. in asparagus crown nurseries in Michigan. However, in our study, Fusarium populations did not differ between fumigated and non‐fumigated nurseries, indicating that alternative strategies for controlling Fusarium spp. need exploration.

Outbreak‐prone insects often undergo explosive population growth despite high natural mortality caused by predators, disease, host toxicity and inclement weather. Although contemporary forest pest management focuses on short‐term tree protection, there is increasing interest in developing strategies to directly suppress outbreaks.

Age‐associated accumulation of RAB9 disrupts oocyte meiosis
This study showed that RAB9 protein accumulates in old human and mouse oocytes. RAB9 accumulation disrupted spindle formation, chromosome alignment and actin cap formation, increased ROS levels, decreased mitochondrial membrane potential, ATP content, mtDNA/nDNA ratio and activated the PINK1‐PARKIN pathway. Importantly, knockdown of RAB9 in old oocytes

Abstract Cover crops are multifunctional tools that mitigate environmental impacts of agriculture, enhance resilience to weather extremes and suppress weeds and arthropod pests. Cover crops provide non‐crop food and habitat resources that attract natural enemies of pests, but their outcomes for pest management are less clear in regions where keystone ...

Abstract This review provides a synthesis of the available knowledge on Carmenta foraseminis, an emerging cocoa pest in northern South America. This moth was first described in 1995 in Panama, and its proliferation across the Amazon basin is currently threatening the production of cocoa in the region and may endanger the sector's sustainability. Hence,

Abstract Invasive eucalypt psyllids pose a threat to the long‐term production of eucalypts worldwide. In order to reduce their economic impact, classical biological control using Psyllaephagus species has been used successfully. The objectives of this study were to determine the host specificity and host stage preference of Psyllaephagus blastopsyllae,

Determinants of mating success in a lek‐mating species
Abstract Leks are male‐biased aggregations formed for mating, where sperm is the only resource acquired by visiting females. One of the many advantages of leks is the possibility to efficiently assess the quality of potential mates by comparing aggregated individuals of the same sex with one another. When direct mate choice occurs in a lekking species,

Green peach aphids (Myzus persicae) maintained on different host plants (bok choy, clover and potato) for 15 generations were evaluated on each host plant to understand the impacts of within‐generational and cross‐generational effects on their performance.
