Functional Analysis of Amino Acid Transporter Genes ACYPI000536 and ACYPI004320 in Acyrthosiphon pisum

open access: yesInsects, 2023
In recent years, pea aphids have become major pests of alfalfa. Our previous study found that “Gannong 5” is a highly aphid-resistant alfalfa variety and that “Lie Renhe” is a susceptible one.

Sown Covers Enhance the Diversity and Abundance of Ground-Dwelling Predators in Mediterranean Pear Orchards

open access: yesAgronomy, 2023
Intensive agriculture has a strong impact on the structure of arthropod communities in soil. Sown covers can contribute to their conservation, especially for generalist predators such as spiders and predatory beetles.

Benefits of increased cover crop diversity for predators and biological pest control depend on the landscape context

open access: yesEcological Solutions and Evidence, 2021
1. Increasing plant diversity in agricultural systems is a promising way to balance food production and biodiversity conservation. Biological pest control, a crucial ecosystem service delivered by natural enemies, could particularly benefit from ...

Effects of Managed and Unmanaged Floral Margins on Pollination Services and Production in Melon Crops

open access: yesInsects, 2023
Melon is among the most consumed fruits in the world, being a crop that depends almost entirely on insects for its reproduction, which is why it is especially sensitive to declining pollination services.
