Weed problems and possibilities for their control in salix for biomass [PDF]

, 2012
Salix is a dedicated arable bioenergy crop that is presently grown on 12,000 ha in Sweden. It has probably the best environmental profile among the arable bioenergy crops grown in Sweden partly because neither fungicides nor insecticides are used in the ...

Control of Woolly Apple Aphid (Eriosoma lanigerum) by Augmenting Earwigs (Forficula auricularia) in the Canopy of Apple Trees

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 1, Page 61-73, January 2026.
Apple trees provisioned with five earwigs and a refuge made a small but not significant contribution to woolly apple aphid control. ABSTRACT Woolly apple aphid, Eriosoma lanigerum (Hausmann), is a damaging pest of apple (Malus domestica F.) found in most regions of the world where apples grow.

Identifying potentially suitable and accessible refugia to mitigate impacts of an emerging disease on a rare tree

Conservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 6, December 2025.
Abstract Identifying refugia from emerging threats is vital to ensure the persistence of rare and threatened species, but modeling habitat distribution for these species is challenging and the role of people in refuge management is rarely considered. Myrtle rust is an emerging infectious disease that represents a grave threat to the rare wetland tree ...

Does pre-dispersal seed predation limit reproduction and population growth in the alpine clonal plant Geum reptans ? [PDF]

, 2018
We studied the impact of the seed damaging gall midge larva Geomyia alpina on its perennial alpine host plant Geum reptans. We analysed the effect of seed predation on reproduction by seeds, i.e.

Three decades of experimental nitrogen fertilization increases the frequency of a defensive plant morph

Oikos, Volume 2025, Issue 11, November 2025.
Resources, such as nitrogen, are widely hypothesized to underlie the expression and evolution of plant defenses to herbivory. However, resource availability can affect selection on plant defense traits in contrasting ways: resource availability can 1) weaken selection on defense traits by reducing the costs of herbivory, or 2) strengthen selection on ...

Pest categorisation of Aschistonyx eppoi [PDF]

, 2018
The Panel on Plant Health performed a pest categorisation of the gall midge Aschistonyx eppoi Inouye (1964) (Diptera, Cecidomyiidae), for the EU. A. eppoi is a well‐defined and distinguishable species, native to Japan and Korea, and recognised as a pest ...

Intensity and colour of artificial light at night affect insect attraction in a taxon‐dependent manner

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 18, Issue 6, Page 1099-1108, November 2025.
We measured the phototactic responses of insects to light at night using LED traps emitting light at four narrowband wavelengths of three intensity levels of relatively equal photon emission. Our data show an interaction between insect order and narrowband spectra, with marked differences in attraction between Lepidoptera and Diptera.
