Potential of alternative control of leaf‐cutting ants using essential oils: A systematic review
Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.Abstract Leaf‐cutting ants (LCAs) are abundant and cause considerable damage to agricultural and forest crops in the Neotropical region and are commonly controlled using sulfluramid‐based ant baits. However, this active ingredient is a precursor of perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS), a persistent, human‐made pollutant that poses serious environmental

Determinants of mating success in a lek‐mating species
Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.Abstract Leks are male‐biased aggregations formed for mating, where sperm is the only resource acquired by visiting females. One of the many advantages of leks is the possibility to efficiently assess the quality of potential mates by comparing aggregated individuals of the same sex with one another. When direct mate choice occurs in a lekking species,

Floral strips increase the abundance and spillover of beneficial insects in rotational crop fields
Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.Abstract Insects provide many ecological functions that support agricultural production, but beneficial insect populations are often lower in areas of intensive agriculture. Agronomic practices that support beneficial insect populations are important for sustainable crop production.

Allergy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The basophil activation test (BAT) is gaining increasing relevance as an ex vivo functional assay in allergy to evaluate IgE‐mediated hypersensitivity reactions to food allergens, venoms, and drugs and to monitor tolerance induction. Establishing universal standard operating protocols has been difficult, due to several challenges including ...

Biodiversity in mountain soils above the treeline
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Biological diversity in mountain ecosystems has been increasingly studied over the last decade. This is also the case for mountain soils, but no study to date has provided an overall synthesis of the current state of knowledge. Here we fill this gap with a first global analysis of published research on cryptogams, microorganisms, and fauna in ...
