Ants contribute to raspberry pollination in protected cropping systems

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Ants visited raspberry flowers more frequently than European honey bees (Apis mellifera), Australian stingless bees (Tetragonula carbonaria) and flies, many transporting raspberry pollen on their bodies, indicating potential pollination capacity. Ants were active flower visitors at most times of the day and may extend the daily pollination window and ...

The dual crisis: Climate change simultaneously drives pollinator decline and pest outbreaks

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Climate change acts as an asymmetric ecological filter, favouring r‐selected pest traits (rapid reproduction, generalism) while disadvantaging K‐selected pollinators. For every 1°C of warming, bee species richness declines ~25% since the 1990s, while pest‐induced crop losses increase by 10%–25%. A network‐centric approach integrating climate‐responsive

Spatial and seasonal patterns of potential orchard pollinators across a Lake Ontario gradient

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Potential pollinator captures varied by season, trap height and distance from Lake Ontario, indicating that flower visitors were not evenly distributed during apple bloom. Several common bee genera, including Lasioglossum, Agapostemon, Andrena and Apis, overlapped more closely with apple bloom than the dominant retained fly genus, Toxomerus.

What Was ‘Middle Australia’? Social Categorisation and Political Positioning in the Late‐20th Century

Australian Journal of Politics &History, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT ‘Middle Australia’ became a ubiquitous term of social categorisation and political positioning during the latter decades of the 20th century. This article examines how this concept was variously used in the metropolitan print media in the guises of the Sydney Morning Herald and The Age of Melbourne, including in their reporting of federal and ...

Is support for authoritarian rule contagious? Evidence from field and survey experiments

American Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.
Abstract The increasing popularity of strongman rule in democratic societies underscores the need to explore how authoritarian regime preferences might spread socially. We assess the role of social influence on support for leaders with authoritarian inclinations through preregistered field and survey experiments in the Norwegian Armed Forces. The field
