Influence of Alternative Prey on the Functional Response of a Predator in Two Contexts: With and without Intraguild Predation

Insects
In biological control, joint releases of predators and parasitoids are standard. However, intraguild predation (IGP) can occur when a predator attacks a parasitoid, potentially affecting pest control dynamics.

Interspecific competition among aphid parasitoids: molecular approaches reveal preferential exploitation of parasitized hosts

Scientific Reports, 2019
When a guild of species exploit the same limited resources, interspecific competition induces the exclusion of inferior competitors, in which case, interspecific recognition mechanisms are needed.

Reconsidering the role of introduced species in the climate‐affected and highly invaded eastern Mediterranean

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Bioinvasions are considered mostly as a biodiversity and conservation hazard, but in specific situations, introduced species can bring ecological or socioeconomic benefits. We assessed the social–ecological role of marine introduced species in the eastern Mediterranean Sea—a global hotspot of bioinvasions and extirpations—and their potential ...

Biocontrol of Xyleborus affinis (Curculionidae: Scolitinae) Females and Progeny by Beauveria bassiana (Hypocreales: Cordycipitaceae) in a Sawdust Artificial Diet Model

Insects, 2023
The ambrosia beetle Xyleborus affinis, recently reported affecting avocado trees in Mexico, represents one of the most widespread insects worldwide. Previous reports have shown that Xyleborus genera members are susceptible to Beauveria bassiana and other

Coinvasional disruptions to island pollinator networks

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
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 ...

CHEMICAL CONTROL OF GREEN BELLY STINK BUG DICHELOPS MELACANTHUS (HEMIPTERA: PENTATOMIDAE)ON MAIZE

, 2021
The effect of insecticides for the control of Dichelops melacanthus on maize were evaluated in regard to desiccation management (MD), seed treatment (TS) and foliage spray (PF) up to 10 days after plant emergence (DAE). The trials were carried out on the

Twelve principles for successful governance of community‐based coastal marine restoration

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Global agreements, such as the Global Biodiversity Framework, call for urgent, large‐scale action to halt biodiversity loss through a whole‐of‐society approach. Community‐based restoration can play a crucial role in achieving this goal, yet there remains limited understanding of what makes these projects effective and sustainable.

IN VITRO ASSESSMENT OF THE EFFECT OF RHIZOBACTERIA ON MELOIDOGYNE INCOGNITA, M. JAVANICA AND PRATYLENCHUS ZEAE

, 2020
Considering the losses caused by nematodes to different host plant, rhizobacteria are presented as an alternative to to control uch pathogens. So the goal of this study was to evaluate in vitro the action of 20 isolates of rhizobacteria on hatching and ...

Can a successional crop system associated with preemergent herbicides be a tool to control weeds?

, 2022
The objective of this research was to evaluate weed control in a successional soybean-sorghum system by using preemergent herbicides. Two trials were conducted in soybean and two in sorghum, in different soil types (sandy in Rio Verde city and clayey in ...
