In this study, we investigated the effects of blueberry domestication on the oviposition behavior and performance of Ganaspis kimorum, a parasitoid of Drosophila suzukii. Domestication of blueberries reduced the oviposition‐searching behavior of the parasitoid but enhanced parasitoid performance, including offspring performance. Additionally, blueberry

Assessing Whether Habitat Suitability Models Can Predict Abundance of an Insect Pest
Our research addresses a critical question in pest management: whether habitat suitability models can effectively predict pest abundance across landscapes. We found two models (BioClim and Random Forest) that captured the expected wedge‐shaped relationship, with substantial variation in predictive capacity among models.

FERTIGATION OF HIGHBUSH BLUEBERRY (Vaccinium corymbosum L.). PART I. THE EFFECT ON GROWTH AND YIELD
Fertigation in conjunction with traditional spread fertilization could improve the growth and yield of highbush blueberry. Study was conducted in the years 2002–2004 on a 10-year old plantation of highbush blueberry cv. ‘Bluecrop’.

Fruit juices contain a variety of bioactive compounds (mainly polyphenols, anthocyanins, carotenoids, and vitamin C) with antioxidant properties. Traditional thermal processing methods may negatively affect the stability of these compounds, leading to reductions in polyphenol and anthocyanin content, decreased vitamin C levels, and antioxidant activity.

Revisiting the predation paradox for the Wood Thrush, a declining Neotropical migrant
Abstract Despite an increased density of mid‐trophic level predators in urban and suburban areas compared to rural areas, the survival of smaller prey animals, including the eggs and chicks of nesting songbirds, often remains relatively high in these areas.
