Potential of alternative control of leaf‐cutting ants using essential oils: A systematic review

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 27, Issue 4, Page 497-511, November 2025.
Abstract Leaf‐cutting ants (LCAs) are abundant and cause considerable damage to agricultural and forest crops in the Neotropical region and are commonly controlled using sulfluramid‐based ant baits. However, this active ingredient is a precursor of perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS), a persistent, human‐made pollutant that poses serious environmental

Aboveground biomass accumulation in Brazilian semi‐deciduous seasonal Atlantic Forest restoration sites over a 20‐year time series

Restoration Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 8, November 2025.
The role of forests undergoing restoration in mitigating climate change is widely accepted. However, periodic assessment of aboveground biomass (AGB) accumulation in actively restored areas is scarce, particularly in tropical forests. Here, we estimated AGB as an indicator of carbon stocks in six Atlantic Forest native species reforestations aged 4–20 ...

The ecological and economic benefits of sustainable agricultural practices: Evidence from on‐farm trials in broad‐acre crops

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 6, Issue 4, October–December 2025.
We evaluated the ecological and economic benefits of sustainable agricultural practices for managing redlegged earth mite in Australian cropping systems. Sustainable, non‐chemical treatments supported higher beneficial arthropod densities while maintaining pest control, yields, and gross profit margins comparable to conventional, chemical practices ...
