The shift to non‐competitive disruption of Thaumatotibia leucotreta (FCM), resulted in 99% disruption and was achieved at a dosage of 800 dispensers/ha and remained effective with 36 pheromone release sites per ha. Mating disruption is, therefore, highly recommended to form part of the current integrated pest management program for FCM.

Through a systematic literature review, we show that camera traps (CTs) have been underutilised for farmland biodiversity monitoring. The few existing farmland‐based CT studies focused on local‐level management issues, such as disease transmission between wildlife and livestock, crop damage and use of artificial feeders and water troughs by wildlife ...

Lead Halide Perovskites Nanocrystals Synthesized in a Green, Reusable Solvent
Limonene has been employed as a green and reusable solvent for the synthesis of colloidal nanocrystals. This solvent can be recovered after the synthesis and reused. The environmental impact of the solvent has been estimated through a life cycle assessment.

ABSTRACT Objective Assessment of olfactory function with psychophysical testing requires cognitive demand to correctly pair test odors with remembered scents. Individuals suffering from long‐Corona Virus Disease 2019 (long‐COVID‐19) may develop a decline in neurocognitive performance, which may be concurrent with persistent olfactory dysfunction (OD ...

Optimal performance design of bat algorithm: An adaptive multi‐stage structure
Abstract The bat algorithm (BA) is a metaheuristic algorithm for global optimisation that simulates the echolocation behaviour of bats with varying pulse rates of emission and loudness, which can be used to find the globally optimal solutions for various optimisation problems. Knowing the recent criticises of the originality of equations, the principle

Impacts of a fungicide and an insecticide on pollinator visitation and wildflower fitness
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Pesticide use has become widespread around the globe, and mounting evidence has demonstrated health impacts on non‐target insects such as bees. However, less is known about whether the presence of these chemicals in plant tissue can alter interactions between plants ...

Schematic illustration summarizing the effects of phytoplasma infection on the performance and feeding behavior of above‐ and belowground insect herbivores as well as its effects on shoot and root traits in cranberries. The “+” symbol indicates a positive effect, while the “–” symbol indicates a negative effect. Abstract While phytoplasma infections in
