Temporal variations in English Populations of a forest insect pest, the green spruce aphid (Elatobium abietinum), associated with the North Atlantic Oscillation and global warming [PDF]
Based on an exceptionally long modern ecological dataset (41 years), it has been possible to show that warm weather in England associated with a positive North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) index causes the spring migration of the green spruce aphid ...

Pesticide exposure affects flight dynamics and reduces flight endurance in bumblebees
The emergence of agricultural land use change creates a number of challenges that insect pollinators, such as eusocial bees, must overcome. Resultant fragmentation and loss of suitable foraging habitats, combined with pesticide exposure, may increase ...

Dispersal capacity of Monochamus saltuarius on flight mills [PDF]
AbstractPine wilt disease (PWD) is caused by pine wood nematode (PWN), Bursaphelenchus xylophilus (Steiner & Buhrer) Nickle, transmitted by Monochamus saltuarius (Gebler) (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) to healthy Korean white pine, Pinus koraiensis Siebold & Zucc. (Pinaceae). It is a serious threat to forest ecosystems worldwide.
