Beyond the Individual: Multisite Population‐Level Consequences of Road Mortality on a Declining Mammal

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
We used a comparative study design to quantify population densities, structure, survival, cause‐specific mortality and female productivity in four West‐European hedgehog (Erinaceus europaeus) populations, and to forecast the impact of road mortality on population viability.

Reconsidering the importance of Metopolophium dirhodum (Walker) (Hemiptera: Aphididae) as a crop pest

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Four‐year field monitoring and laboratory studies revealed M. dirhodum occurs regularly in barley with high reproductive potential and extended adult longevity. Populations peaked during vulnerable crop stages, creating optimal conditions for BYDV transmission during critical infection windows. M.

Behavioural responses of peach potato aphid, Myzus persicae Sulzer (Hemiptera: Aphididae), to entomopathogenic fungi infected conspecifics

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Myzus persicae showed no detectable behavioural response to Beauveria bassiana‐colonised agar alone. Aphids spent significantly more time in odour fields containing EPF‐infected conspecifics than healthy aphids, agar or blank air. EPF infection may alter host‐associated odours, suggesting pathogen‐mediated cues could influence aphid behaviour and ...

Climatic factors, landscape composition and host plant traits co‐drive fruit infestation of unmanaged walnut trees by the invasive pest fly Rhagoletis completa (Cresson, 1929) (Diptera: Tephritidae)

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
The study examined multiscale factors influencing walnut fruit infestations by the invasive pest fly Rhagoletis completa. Infestation rates increased with fruit size, host tree abundance, grasslands, hedgerows and temperatures, but decreased with anthropogenic habitats and heavy spring rainfall.

Combined effects of the landscape and crop management on ant communities

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
At small spatial scales, agricultural management acts as a stronger ecological filter than landscape context, significantly shaping ant community composition. Species richness and frequency did not differ among treatments, indicating the predominance of generalist species.
