Functional connectivity in replicated urban landscapes in the land snail (Cornu aspersum) [PDF]
Molecular Ecology, 2018 AbstractUrban areas are highly fragmented and thereby exert strong constraints on individual dispersal. Despite this, some species manage to persist in urban areas, such as the garden snail, Cornu aspersum, which is common in cityscapes despite its low mobility.

Dispersers are more likely to follow mucus trails in the land snail Cornu aspersum [PDF]
The Science of Nature, 2019 AbstractDispersal, i.e. movement leading to gene flow, is a fundamental although costly life history trait. The use of indirect social information may help mitigate these costs, yet in many cases little is known about the proximate sources of such information, and how dispersers and residents may differ in their information use.

Biological Reviews, Volume 98, Issue 6, Page 2091-2113, December 2023., 2023 ABSTRACT What can the stable isotope values of human and animal faeces tell us? This often under‐appreciated waste product is gaining recognition across a variety of disciplines. Faecal isotopes provide a means of monitoring diet, resource partitioning, landscape use, tracking nutrient inputs and cycling, and reconstructing past climate and environment.

Thirty years of slug control using the parasitic nematode Phasmarhabditis hermaphrodita and beyond
Pest Management Science, Volume 79, Issue 10, Page 3408-3424, October 2023., 2023 The nematode Phasmarhabditis hermaphrodita is a parasite of slugs and snails and has been formulated into a biological control agent for use across northern Europe since 1994. Here, we review all research on P. hermaphrodita that has been carried out over the last 30 years and suggest future priorities.

Commodity risk assessment of Malus domestica plants from Bosnia and Herzegovina
EFSA Journal, Volume 21, Issue 10, October 2023., 2023 Abstract The European Commission requested the EFSA Panel on Plant Health to prepare and deliver risk assessments for commodities listed in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/2019 as ‘High‐risk plants, plant products and other objects’. This Scientific Opinion covers plant health risks posed by bare root plants of Malus domestica grafted on ...

Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 183, Issue 2, Page 121-134, September 2023., 2023 Exploitation of the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) 1‐octen‐3‐ol and 3‐octanone show potential for use in future crop protection. Key interactions between naturally occurring biosynthesised 1‐octen‐3‐ol and 3‐octanone and a range of invertebrate targets has been identified.

Recognition and completeness: two key metrics for judging the utility of citizen science data
Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, Volume 21, Issue 4, Page 167-174, May 2023., 2023 Biodiversity citizen science data are being collected at unprecedented scales, and are key for informing conservation and research. Species‐level data typically provide the most valuable information, but recognition of specimens to species level from photographs varies among taxa.
