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

Entomologia 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.

Modeling Assessment of Aquifer Contamination by Sulfate and Uranium in the Upper Arkansas River Corridor in Kansas

Groundwater Monitoring &Remediation, EarlyView.
Abstract Groundwater in the upper Arkansas River corridor has been contaminated by elevated concentrations of dissolved solids in Arkansas River water. Most of the dissolved solids originate from the soils and bedrock in eastern Colorado, where river water is diverted for irrigation and storage systems, and evapotranspiration significantly increases ...

Evaluating Syrphid Fly Predation on Aphids Under Controlled and Field Conditions in High Tunnels: A Comparative Study With Lacewings

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biological control in high tunnel systems can be optimised by matching predator species to seasonal environmental conditions. We evaluated the predatory efficacy of syrphid flies (Toxomerus marginatus (Say), Eupeodes americanus (Fabricius)) and lacewings (Chrysoperla carnea (Stephens), Chrysoperla rufilabris (Burmeister)) across laboratory ...

Embedded Pesticide Use: Exploring the Pesticide‐Land Nexus

Journal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Since the turn of the century, global land grabs, farmland financialization and land‐based food sovereignty movements have returned the land question to the heart of agrarian studies. Meanwhile, abiding interest in pesticides has been reanimated in the face of changes in production, regulation and knowledge of toxicity.

Diets, fruit and vegetables consumption, and nutritional status in Benin: A scoping review

Maternal &Child Nutrition, EarlyView.
This scoping review summarised existing literature on diets, fruit and vegetable intake, and nutritional status in Benin. Key knowledge gaps were on the prevalence of micronutrient deficiencies and differences in fruit and vegetable intake by geographical and socioeconomic characteristics.

Understanding the Evidence Gaps: Diets and Fruit and Vegetable Intake Across Five Diverse Low‐ and Middle‐Income Countries

Maternal &Child Nutrition, EarlyView.
This perspective article synthesizes findings from scoping reviews examining diet and F&V intake, and interventions to increase F&V consumption among population groups in five countries: Benin, Fiji, the Philippines, Sri Lanka and Tanzania. ABSTRACT Poor dietary quality, particularly inadequate fruit and vegetable (F&V) intake, remains a significant ...
