Trapping is not effective for limiting damage by Vespa velutina in vineyards. [PDF]
Vespa velutina is an invasive hornet that damages grapes. Baited traps are commonly used to mitigate them, but trap effectiveness in vineyards has not been tested. Our study found no significant reduction in damage from trapping, and high and variable by‐catch rates. Sustainable vineyard management methods should be explored.

Quantophrenia and the Promises of Genetics: Do Research Practices (Dis)advantage the «Conservation» of Species? [PDF]
ABSTRACT Population genetics is concerned with the variability of genetic diversity in populations subjected to different evolutionary forces. One concrete application of this research is international genetic diversity conservation policies. Our perspective manuscript is a plea for research activities and policies that control their environmental ...

The Triassic radiation of the entomofauna
Assessing the insect evolution around the Permian/Triassic boundary faces various pitfalls. The taxonomic and phylogenetic frames are not consensually established, and diverse evidences suggest that the record is incomplete. Nevertheless, extensive studies in progress on the super-ordinal clades Archaeorthoptera and Odonatoptera reveal common trends ...
