Isbaaro: Checkpoints and World Making beyond the State in Somalia

open access: yesDevelopment and Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article examines the dynamics of checkpoint authority in Somalia, focusing on how kinship, mobility and checkpoint practices intersect to shape political and social orders. Challenging the notion that checkpoint governance is either an expression of state‐like power or indicative of the state's absence, the authors argue that Somali ...

Competitive Interactions Between Generalist Predators and Their Effects on Shared and Non‐Shared Pests in a Greenhouse Crop

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Orius laevigatus engages in unidirectional intraguild predation on Transeius montdorensis. Despite this, both predators coexisted and suppressed the shared thrips prey. Aphids, a non‐shared prey, were effectively controlled by O. laevigatus even when its population was limited due to intraguild predation. T.

Development and Reproduction of Nesidiocoris tenuis Reuter (Heteroptera: Miridae): The Effect of Temperature, Origin and Food

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Nymphal development took longer at 25°C than 30°C, and the Greek N. tenuis population developed more slowly than the commercial population. Nymphs clearly preferred E. kuehniella eggs over Artemia sp. cysts when both were offered equally. Egg production increased at 30°C, while female longevity declined.

Comparing Methods for Measuring Predation: Toward a Quantitative–Informative Indicator of Natural Pest Control

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Predation methods vary widely in their ability to quantify biological control. Estimating predation rates (the number of prey killed per predator per time unit) is crucial. Combining predation rates with predator abundance yields real‐time field estimates of pests consumed.
