Cicada's wings as determinant factor for the sound emission: The case of \textit{Quesada gigas} [PDF]
arXiv, 2006 Cicadas (Homoptera:Cicadidae) are insects able to produce loudly songs and it is known that the mechanism to produce sound of tymballing cicadas works as a Helmholtz resonator. In this work we offer evidence on the participation of the wings in a high quality resonating process which defines the details of the acoustic properties of the calling song ...

Modelling agricultural landscape complementation for natural pest control
Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 61, Issue 11, Page 2701-2716, November 2024.Our modelling study provides insights in the role of landscape complementation for natural pest control in arable crops by revealing where resource discontinuities can become bottlenecks. Effective natural pest control relies on a variety of different habitats that provide floral and prey resources during different times of the year, for example a ...

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 24, Issue 8, November 2024.Abstract For two decades, DNA barcoding and, more recently, DNA metabarcoding have been used for molecular species identification and estimating biodiversity. Despite their growing use, few studies have systematically evaluated these methods.

Arthropod diversity in peas with normal or reduced waxy bloom [PDF]
, 2004 Crop traits can alter economically important interactions between plants, pests, and biological control agents. For example, a reduced waxy bloom on the surface of pea plants alters interactions between pea aphids and their natural enemies. In this study,
