The dual crisis: Climate change simultaneously drives pollinator decline and pest outbreaks
Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.Climate change acts as an asymmetric ecological filter, favouring r‐selected pest traits (rapid reproduction, generalism) while disadvantaging K‐selected pollinators. For every 1°C of warming, bee species richness declines ~25% since the 1990s, while pest‐induced crop losses increase by 10%–25%. A network‐centric approach integrating climate‐responsive

The Application of Earth Observation Data to Desert Locust Risk Management: A Literature Review
GeomaticsThe desert locust is documented as one of the most destructive polyphagous plant pests that require preventive or proactive management practices due to its phase polyphenism, rapid breeding, transnational migration, and heavy feeding behaviour.

Trans‐oceanic migration and wind utilization by Amur Falcons (Falco amurensis)
Ibis, EarlyView.The Amur Falcon Falco amurensis performs one of the world's longest raptor migrations, involving a non‐stop crossing of the Indian Ocean of approximately 2800 km. While the existence of this route is known, the mechanistic details of wind exploitation and seasonal navigation remain to be fully elucidated.

Desert Locust Invasions and Farmers’ Adaptation
, 2023 This study measures behavioral changes of Ethiopian farmers after experiencing desert locust invasions in 2014. I use an air-mass dispersion model to predict wind patterns that could transport locust swarms and combine the wind trajectories with a panel ...

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Abstract Introduction Intensified drought in the Mediterranean Basin poses challenges for conventional afforestation. Rainwater harvesting (RWH) is a climate‐adaptive solution that restores soil hydrological functions and buffers seedlings against drought in semiarid ecosystems.
