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 ...

Entomological surveillance of Trypanosoma cruzi vectors in Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil
Discontinuous entomological surveillance and persistent infestation by triatomines highlight the risk of Trypanosoma cruzi transmission. The diversity of triatomine species in the peridomicile shows the potential for colonization into the home. The wide distribution of Triatoma brasiliensis and Triatoma pseudomaculata accompanies high rates of ...

Entomological and community‐related risk factors for Chagas disease were assessed through peridomestic sampling, calculation of entomological indices and surveys of community knowledge, attitudes and practices. Forty‐six triatomines, all identified as Triatoma pallidipennis, were collected, and all specimens showed natural infection with Trypanosoma ...

Consistent root microbiomes across contrasting habitats in a wild perennial vine
Communities of bacteria and fungi associated with the roots are similar across diverse habitats in a wild plant. Abstract While we are beginning to understand that the plant microbiome is important for plant health, we still lack information about how plant microbiomes are shaped across environments and how they influence plant performance, in ...

Abstract Introduction Grassland species are declining globally. Sprague's Pipit (Anthus spragueii), a native grassland‐obligate, nests in planted grasslands in some regions. How food resources in planted grassland compare with those in native grassland is important to determine the relative benefits of creating new grassland by seeding cropland with ...
