The role of biological control in the sustainability of the Cuban agri-food system

Elementa: Science of the Anthropocene, 2018
We analyze the role biological control plays in the Cuban agri-food system and discuss an experience at the country level that demonstrates that the pest problem can be handled through an ecological and sustainable approach.

Key practices for ethical research during scientific expeditions

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
In many cases, expeditionary practices undermined local knowledge and expertise. This perspective advocates for a shift from parachute science towards a collaborative research approach. We reflect on and suggest best practices during scientific expeditions within research teams and in the team's interactions with different communities.

Advancing conservation science and practice through a geographic approach: Platforms, personnel, and partnerships

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Based on a participatory workshop involving conservation and GIS researchers and practitioners, we outline a hierarchy of six actions that should be prioritized to ensure GIScience and geography can support the new, and growing, wave of global conservation targets.

Tolerance for jaguars among ranching communities in the Colombian Llanos

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Livestock protection measures are often implemented with the desired outcome of reducing retaliatory killings. We studied drivers of retaliatory killings in four communities in the Colombian Llanos and evaluated whether an electric fencing intervention would improve tolerance for jaguars.

Biology of the Gall Midge Spanolepis selloanae (Diptera, Cecidomyiidae), a Candidate Biological Control Agent of the Invasive Grass Cortaderia selloana

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Spanolepis selloanae (Diptera, Cecidomyiidae) infests Cortaderia selloana (pampas grass). It lays eggs in the spikelets, where larvae feed on female parts. The high prevalence of the midge and its combined impact in seed production, condition and viability strongly reduces the reproductive output of C. selloana.

Coinvasional disruptions to island pollinator networks

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 5, October 2026.
Abstract Biological invasions can adversely affect pollinator diversity by threatening the maintenance of animal‐pollinated plant communities. Although most studies have examined single invasive species, accelerating species introductions driven by global trade highlight the need to understand how multiple co‐occurring invaders jointly influence ...

Spatio‐Temporal Dynamics of Asian Clams in Two Mediterranean Canals

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT The rapid spread of the non‐native invasive Asian clam (Corbicula spp.) has been linked to the catastrophic decline of native freshwater mussel assemblages in Europe and North and South America. This study evaluates the spatio‐temporal dynamics and shell size structure of the Asian clam within two Mediterranean canals: Canal Imperial de Aragón

The Fungus Phlebiopsis flavidoalba’s Pathogenicity and Virulence Toward the Fluted Scale (Praelongorthezia acapulcoa) Pest of Rice and Sugarcane Crops

Microbiology Research
Sugarcane is one of the main crops in Morelos State, Mexico. The presence of the insect pest Praelongorthezia acapulcoa (Morrison), commonly known as the fluted scale insect, was observed in sugarcane and rice crops, causing losses of up to 30% of ...
