Mechanisms and impacts of future plant invasions: research agendas and management needs under disruptive social‐ecological change scenarios

Oikos, EarlyView.
No‐analogue futures are characteristic of the Anthropocene, but how global change, and societies' responses, will affect plant invasions remains unclear. Conducting research now to address future needs is crucial for guiding invasion management and policy.

Soybean plant architecture influences the capacity of Telenomus podisi to parasitize Euschistus heros eggs: implications for field releases

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Increasing soybean plant architectural complexity reduces the ability of Telenomus podisi to parasitize Euschistus heros eggs, highlighting the need to adjust parasitoid release rates in the field according to plant complexity (arrow direction and thickness correspond to the increasing strength of the variable) . Abstract BACKGROUND Plant architectural

Methomyl resistance in Dalbulus maidis (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae): selection, inheritance and multiple‐resistance

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
The inheritance of methomyl resistance in Dalbulus maidis is autosomal, incompletely dominant and polygenic. No cross‐resistance was found between methomyl and chlorfenapyr, cyantraniliprole and isocycloseram. Abstract BACKGROUND Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitor insecticides have been important tools for the management of Dalbulus maidis in Brazil;

Merger Efficiency and Coordinated Effects: Nothing to Sneeze at? Evidence From Cough and Cold Medicines in the Philippines

Southern Economic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We investigate the competitive effects of a merger in the cough and cold medicines segment between GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) and Pfizer. The parties offered efficiency gains, and authorities concluded the merger would not lessen competition. Using product‐level data from the Philippines, we estimate a structural demand model to assess efficiency ...

“Anytime, Anywhere”: Online Language Tutoring Platforms and the Rise of the (Im)Mobile Language Teacher

TESOL Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract This article examines how online tutoring platforms (OTPs) have facilitated new forms of (im)mobility—and discourses of (im)mobility—among online English tutors. Drawing on semi‐structured interviews with online tutors, the article critically interrogates OTPs' primary selling point: that online tutors can work “anytime, anywhere.” While OTPs ...
