More than fruity scents: Pollination biology, scent, and spectral reflectance of Annonaceae species

Plant Species Biology, EarlyView.
We characterised the floral visual and olfactory cues of numerous Annonaceae species and reported their pollinators. We further assessed the olfactory space of most Annonaceae species available in the literature. Abstract The family Annonaceae possesses a broad array of floral phenotypes and pollination specializations, and are important in the plant ...

Calcium oxalate crystals of plant leaves pass through chewing invertebrate larvae virtually unchanged

Plant Species Biology, EarlyView.
Can calcium oxalate crystals protect plants against herbivorous insects? These Hazel leaves are consumed by caterpillars despite their high content of mineral druses (right image, arrows. Scale bar = 100 μm). This study illustrates what happens to crystals and caterpillars after the meal.

Optimal Surveillance and Indemnity Policy for Eradicating Exotic Livestock Diseases

Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We present a theoretical model that identifies the optimal resource allocation between surveillance and intervention for eradicating exotic livestock diseases. We apply a game theory approach to analyse the strategic interaction between the Animal Health Authority (AHA) and the stockbreeders.

Perennial Flower Strips Can Be a Cost‐Effective Tool for Pest Suppression in Orchards

Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Flower strips can provide many economic benefits in commercial orchards, including reducing crop damage by a problematic pest, rosy apple aphid (Dysaphis plantaginea [Passerini]). To explore the financial costs and benefits of this effect, we developed a bio‐economic model to compare the establishment and opportunity costs of perennial ...

Portable Fourier‐transform infrared spectroscopy and machine learning for sex determination in third instar Chrysomya rufifacies larvae

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Forensic entomology is crucial in medicolegal investigations, utilizing insects—primarily flies—to estimate a supplemental post‐mortem interval based on their development at the (death) scene. This estimation can be influenced by extrinsic factors like temperature and humidity, as well as intrinsic factors such as species and sex.
