Weed biodiversity and herbicide intensity as linked via a decision support system
Pest Management Science, EarlyView.A high Shannon diversity of weed species leads to low herbicide intensity. The decision support system reduces herbicide intensity at low weed densities and thus supports biodiversity. Abstract BACKGROUND Extensive herbicide use is one reason for the declining biodiversity of arable weeds. This study aimed to investigate (i) whether herbicide decisions

Breaking good: a chemist wanders into entomology.
Annual Review of Entomology, 2015 In this highly personal account of my career in science, I try to show how many others influenced its course. I was able to abandon work in pure chemistry and microbiology and to take up research in entomology only with the help of others.

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Methyl salicylate causes dispersal of whiteflies from tomato plants (push), and enhances the catching efficacy of an attractive green‐light‐emitting diode (LED)‐enhanced yellow sticky trap (pull), showing potential for a novel push–pull system. Abstract BACKGROUND Methyl salicylate (MeSa), a plant defense elicitor and whitefly deterrent, has been shown

Trapping is not effective for limiting damage by Vespa velutina in vineyards
Pest Management Science, EarlyView.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.

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.In this study, multiple herbicide resistant mechanisms have been confirmed in two Amaranthus palmeri populations from Spain that survived glyphosate‐ and ALS‐inhibitor herbicides. Our data suggest that the eccDNA and the mutations identified in the ALS gene are the result of an evolutionary event that occurred outside Spain.
