Curating landscapes to encourage care for biodiversity through arts and citizen science
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract This study investigates how combining Citizen Science and Art workshops within curated wildflower meadows can generate repeated, positive experiences with nature, and foster a sense of care for it. The project aimed to increase awareness, encourage responsibility, and develop competencies related to urban nature.

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Extended bioassays revealed that azadirachtin and spirotetramat show strong delayed effects against Phthorimaea absoluta, underestimated by the standard Insecticide Resistance Action Committee (IRAC) method 022 protocol. Incorporating long‐term exposures is essential to accurately assess slow‐acting insecticides and improve resistance management ...

Assessing pest control treatments from phenology models and field data
Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 4, Page 1851-1859, April 2025.Theoretical effect of two larvicide sprays, two delayed larvicide sprays that follow an oil treatment, mating disruption, and mating disruption plus four virus sprays on codling moth larva (brown for treated versus pink for untreated) and adult (dark green for treated versus light green for untreated) phenology.

The continuing significance of chiral agrochemicals
Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 4, Page 1697-1716, April 2025.In the time frame 2018–2023, around 43% of the 35 chiral agrochemicals introduced to the market (herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, acaricides, and nematicides) contain one or more stereogenic centers in the molecule, and almost 69% of them have been marketed as racemic mixtures of enantiomers or stereoisomers.

Ground‐based robotic remote sensing for standardized biodiversity monitoring in coastal habitats
Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.Illustrated workflow of the proposed citizen‐to‐robot monitoring pipeline: (i) expert‐validated citizen observations are translated into AI models, (ii) deployed on a ground‐based robotic platform for proximal sensing of coastal dune habitats, (iii) enabling standardized detection of ecological targets (e.g., Pancratium maritimum & Brithys crini), and (

Urban bats show dietary flexibility in aquatic arthropod consumption at urban and rural waterbodies
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Urban waterbodies are critical for biodiversity and provide feeding grounds for insectivorous bats. Yet, how urbanisation affects bats' food choices at urban waterbodies and the role of emergent aquatic arthropods remain poorly understood. We compared the diet of three urban bat species – Vespadelus vulturnus, Chalinolobus gouldii,and Myotis macropus –

Global meta‐analysis reveals urban‐associated behavioural differences among wild populations
Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.Urbanization drives rapid phenotypic change, yet broad patterns of behavioural responses remain unclear. Using a global phylogenetic meta‐analysis, we show urban populations exhibit increased boldness, aggression, exploration and activity—especially in birds—highlighting consistent behavioural shifts and revealing major taxonomic gaps that limit our ...

Iflaviruses in arthropods: when small is mighty
Insect Science, EarlyView.Many arthropod species harbor iflaviruses, which often cause covert (asymptomatic) infections, but may still affect host fitness. We review the impact of iflaviruses on arthropod fitness, immunity, behaviour as well as the iflavirus’ host range, transmission, tissue tropism and the interactions with other microorganisms within arthropods.
