Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Urban environments provide favorable conditions for the introduction and spread of nonnative and invasive species like the Argentine ant, which exploit ecological and climatic homogenization in cities to overcome natural barriers. Monitoring the expansion of such species can be achieved through potential distribution models, which in this study ...

Annals of Applied Biology, EarlyView.Semi‐tillage, a widely used agricultural method to improve water availability and minimise soil erosion in crops, may compromise pest control in olive groves. Stable isotopes (N15 and C13) analysis showed an effect of semi‐tillage in the composition of the basal resources of potential natural enemies in the three olive grove strata: These changes may ...
