Climate‐specific dynamics of fall armyworm on maize: Implications for pest monitoring and management
Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 27, Issue 4, Page 600-612, November 2025.FAW moth captures were higher in the Sudanese zone than the Guinean zone, peaking during the major rainy season, while the Guinean zone had more captures in the dry season.
In the Guinean zone, plant damage correlated with adult moth captures and larval densities, whereas no such correlation was found in the Sudanese zone or at different maize growth ...Djima Koffi, Komi Agboka, Mawuko Kossi Anani Adjevi, Koffi Negloh, Togbedji Kokou Zanou, Manguilibè Tchao, Matotiloa Tchegueni, Agbeko Kodjo Tounou, Robert L.

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 6, Issue 4, October–December 2025.Forest elephants need to be conserved not only because they act as forest engineers. They also appear to be self‐medication specialists and could possibly help humans to cope with present and future health issues. Managers should include the development of medicinal leeches to mitigate HEC.Steeve Ngama, Jerome Bindelle, Janine L. Brown, John R.

, 2010 Les larves de cécidomyes ont depuis longtemps attiré l'attention sur elles soit à cause des déformations que la plupart produisent sur les plantes, soit a cause du dégât occasionné par plusieurs autres.Kieffer, Jean-Jacquescore Confirmation of presence of coconut rhinoceros beetle Oryctes rhinoceros (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) from Timor–Leste and biosecurity implications
EPPO Bulletin, Volume 55, Issue 2, Page 250-254, August 2025.Abstract
The presence of coconut rhinoceros beetle (Oryctes rhinoceros) was confirmed in Timor–Leste based on damage symptoms observed in photographs of coconut palms and subsequent trapping efforts. Specimens collected by the National Directorate of Quarantine and Biosecurity, Timor–Leste were identified as O.Sulav Paudel, Guihermino Soares, Abel Ximenes, Nicola K. Richards, Trevor A.

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 4, Page 790-800, April 2025.This study is the first to reveal that nets significantly impact pest dynamics on the scale of agricultural landscapes. We recommend landscape‐scale coordination in the deployment of nets, along with additional protective measures to mitigate their unintended effects on pests at the local and landscape scales.Isis Poinas, Claire Lavigne, Hazem Dib, Areski Leroy, Pierre Franck, Thomas Delattre, Xavier Said, Bertrand Gauffre +7 morewiley +1 more sourceOpinion and report of the French Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health & Safety (ANSES) relating to an analysis of the health risks associated with exposure to caterpillars with stinging hairs and the development of management recommendations
Food Risk Assess Europe, Volume 3, Issue 2, April 2025.Abstract
Several species of Lepidoptera with caterpillars bearing urticating hairs are increasing their range in metropolitan France from year to year, such as the pine processionary (Thaumetopoea pityocampa Denis et Schiffermüller 1775) whose presence was historically limited to the south of France, and which is gradually being observed in the north ...Nicolas Desneux, Andrea Battisti, Anne‐Sophie Brinquin, Rudy Caparros‐Megido, Gilbert Gault, Carole Kerdelhué, Stéphane Krebs, Myriam Mérad, Catherine Pecquet, Tina Rambonilaza, Thomas Le Bourgeois, Philippe Castagnone, Thierry Candresse, Nicolas Desneux, Sandrine Eveillard, Florence Fontaine, Pascal Gentit, Martin Godefroidd, Lucia Guerin, Bruno Hostachy, Hervé Jactel, Eleni Kazakou, Christophe Le May, Eric Lombaert, David Markowski, Charles Manceau, Arnaud Monty, Maria Navajas, Céline Robin, Aurélien Sallé, Frédéric Suffert, Stéphan Steyer, Pierre‐Yves Teycheney, Eric Verdin, François Verheggen, Gilles Meyer, Xavier Bailly, Catherine Belloc, Stéphane Bertagnoli, Alain Boissy, Séverine Boullier, Henri‐Jean Boulouis, Eric Cardinale, Aurélie Courcoul, Alice De Boyer Des Roches, Barbara Dufour, Veasna Duong, Emmanuelle Gilot‐Fromont, Etienne Giraud, Lionel Grisot, Claire Guinat, Nadia Haddad, Elsa Jourdain, Hervé Juin, Sophie Le Bouquin‐Le Neveu, Caroline Le Maréchal, Sophie Le Poder, Yves Millemann, Pierre Mormède, Carole Peroz, Claire Ponsart, Céline Richomme, Claude Saegerman, Jean‐François Valarcher, Isabelle Vallée, Agnès Waret‐Szkuta, Natacha Woronoff‐Rehn, Georges De Sousa, Olivier Adam, Alain Aymard, Jean‐Christophe Cahuzac, Pierre Greve, Philippe Hartemann, Claire Hellio, Dominique Pessel, Vincent Richard, Christophe Soumet, Laura Maxim, Louis‐Georges Soler, Bénédicte Apouey, Luc Baumstark, Céline Bonnet, Thierry Brunelle, France Caillavet, Alain Carpentier, Thomas Coutrot, Cécile Detang‐Dessendre, Serge Garcia, Julien Gauthey, Emmanuelle Lavaine, Christine Le Clainche, Marc Leandri, Youenn Loheac, Sélim Louafi, Eric Plottu, Elodie Rouviere, Maïder Saint‐Jean, Denis Salles, Léa Tardieu, Jean‐Christophe Vergnaud, Jens Abildtrup, Catherine Collignon, Karine Fiore, Emeline Hily, Sandra Sinno‐Tellier, Emmanuel Gachet +105 morewiley +1 more sourceOpinion and report of the French Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health & Safety (ANSES) on the assessment of the impact of fox population dynamics on public health
Food Risk Assess Europe, Volume 3, Issue 2, April 2025.ABSTRACT
The Red Fox (Vulpes vulpes) can be hunted as a game species. It may also be listed as a “species likely to cause damage” (ESOD – the acronym in French), for public health reasons among others. Conversely, benefits linked to the presence of foxes are also put forward, such as the predation of rodents carrying zoonotic agents.Emmanuelle Gilot‐Fromont, Isabelle Villena, Elsa Bonnaud, Claude Fischer, Etienne Giraud, Annick Linden, François Meurens, Carine Paraud, Francis Raoul, Céline Richomme, Sandrine Ruette, Michel Trommetter, Isabelle Vallée, Gilles Meyer, Xavier Bailly, Catherine Belloc, Stéphane Bertagnoli, Alain Boissy, Séverine Boullier, Henri‐Jean Boulouis, Eric Cardinale, Aurélie Courcoul, Alice De Boyer Des Roches, Barbara Dufour, Veasna Duong, Lionel Grisot, Claire Guinat, Nadia Haddad, Elsa Jourdain, Hervé Juin, Sophie Le Bouquin‐Le Neveu, Caroline Le Maréchal, Sophie Le Poder, Yves Millemann, Pierre Mormède, Carole Peroz, Claire Ponsart, Claude Saegerman, Jean‐François Valarcher, Isabelle Vallée, Agnès Waret‐Szkuta, Natacha Woronoff‐Rehn, Laura Maxim, Louis‐Georges Soler, Bénédicte Apouey, Luc Baumstark, Céline Bonnet, Thierry Brunelle, France Caillavet, Alain Carpentier, Thomas Coutrot, Cécile Detang‐Dessendre, Serge Garcia, Julien Gauthey, Emmanuelle Lavaine, Christine Le Clainche, Marc Leandri, Youenn Loheac, Sélim Louafi, Eric Plottu, Elodie Rouviere, Maïder Saint‐Jean, Denis Salles, Léa Tardieu, Jean‐Christophe Vergnaud, Philippe Fravalo, Frédéric Auvray, Mickaël Boni, Frédéric Borges, Gilles Bornert, Frédéric Carlin, Catherine Chubilleau, Monika Coton, Georges Daube, Noémie Desriac, Florence Dubois‐Brissonnet, Michel Federighi, Michel Gautier, Michèle Gourmelon, Sandrine Guillou, Stéphane Guyot, Didier Hilaire, Nathalie Jourdan‐da Silva, Claire Le Henaff‐Le Marrec, Sandra Martin‐Latil, Jeanne‐Marie Membré, Eric Oswald, Nadia Oulahal, Pascal Piveteau, Sabine Schorr‐Galindo, Régine Talon, Isabelle Villena, Emmanuelle Robardet, Nathalie Arnich, Karine Fiore, Florence Etoré, Véronique Raimond, Catherine Collignon +97 morewiley +1 more sourceSeed and Color Preferences of Wild Carrion Crows From Cafeteria Experiments
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 2, February 2025.In the context of significant damage caused by corvids to spring crops, there is a need for sustainable management strategies informed by a better understanding of their ecology.
