Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.The abundance and density of three common sycamore aphids increased under elevated CO2, although this was only statistically significant for Drepanosiphum platanoidis. The number of nymphs produced by individual D. platanoidis alates isolated in clip cages was not significantly affected, suggesting that population level response was not driven by ...

Archaeometry, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Lake sediments are natural archives of past environmental dynamics and how these systems have responded to past climate variability. Sediment geochemistry, governed by local geology and climate processes, is unique to each lake‐catchment and geochemical proxies must be validated for each study site.

Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2015 Due to increasing regulations and restrictions, there is an urgent need to develop effective alternatives to chemical-dependent fumigation control of soilborne pests and pathogens. Anaerobic soil disinfestation (ASD) is one such alternative showing great

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.Lethal (mortality) and sublethal (fecundity, fertility) effects of the biopesticide Prev‐Am Plus (containing ~6% sweet orange essential oil) were assessed on the tachinid fly Exorista larvarum. Mated females were exposed via contact and oral routes across five concentrations (0.25%–20%) using protocols adapted from Apis mellifera.

Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.Parasitoid wasps deploy maternal and embryonic factors to reprogramme host physiology. Venom, calyx fluid, polydnaviruses, teratocytes and larval secretions act in a coordinated, compartmentalised manner. Host‐regulation factors are promising sources of insecticidal, antimicrobial and bioinspired translational molecules.

Embedded Pesticide Use: Exploring the Pesticide‐Land Nexus
Journal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Since the turn of the century, global land grabs, farmland financialization and land‐based food sovereignty movements have returned the land question to the heart of agrarian studies. Meanwhile, abiding interest in pesticides has been reanimated in the face of changes in production, regulation and knowledge of toxicity.

Journal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Following recent calls to deepen understanding of the Global Pesticide Complex, this article delves into the China‐to‐Australia supply chain of a single herbicide—paraquat. First released in the United Kingdom in the 1960s, acutely toxic paraquat is now primarily produced in China.

Arctic plants can take up inorganic nitrogen year‐round
New Phytologist, EarlyView.Schematic overview of year‐round, Arctic seasonal periods as used throughout the paper and their relation to the 15 repeated measuring periods (top) and the three a priori contrasts (middle) used for statistical testing of seasonality in N‐uptake. Summary Arctic tundra experiences strong climatic seasonality, with cold and long winters, but effective ...
