Hydromulches in Organic Strawberry Production: Effects on Densities of Insect Pests and Natural Enemies

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Liquid‐sprayable cellulose hydromulches (HM) are alternatives to plastic polyethylene (PE) mulches for weed suppression in organic agriculture. However, their impact on arthropod pests and natural enemies remains unexplored. Various HMs made of shredded newsprint, water and guar gum were compared against white‐on‐black PE mulch, paper sheet ...

Effects of Early Season Temperature on Adult Life History Traits of Wheat Stem Sawfly, Cephus cinctus (Hymenoptera: Cephidae) and Bracon cephi (Hymenoptera: Braconidae)

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Wheat stem sawfly, Cephus cinctus Norton (Hymenoptera: Cephidae), is a long‐standing and serious pest of wheat, Triticum aestivum Linnaeus (Poaceae), in the northern Great Plains region of North America. Over the last decade, research efforts have aimed to better understand C.

Flowering Plant Species Differ in Their Suitability for Orius strigicollis (Poppius): Effects on Plant Preference, Longevity and Oviposition Under Laboratory Conditions

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Flowering plant species can support pest control by providing resources for natural enemies. Polyphagous predatory species of the genus Orius occur in many parts of the world and are widely used as biological control agents. They feed on several common pest species and can additionally utilize plant resources such as nectar and pollen.

Adaptation to extreme environments: A review of Antarctic fish physiology

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Having evolved in the chronically cold and thermally stable waters of the Southern Ocean (SO) for millions of years, Antarctic fish possess a suite of physiological specializations that enable them to survive at temperatures near the freezing point of seawater. Adaptations include the evolution of antifreeze proteins, modifications of membrane

Genetic, phenotypic, and ecological differentiation indicate a new cryptic and threatened species in the orchid genus Epidendrum from Alcatrazes Island, southeastern Brazil

Journal of Systematics and Evolution, EarlyView.
Epidendrum insularis occurs on the remote Alcatrazes Island in the southeastern Brazilian coast. The description of this new cryptic species was only possible by the joint use of molecular markers, reproductive experiments, flower morphometry, functional traits, and community analysis.
