Semiochemical applications for managing the grey field slug (Deroceras reticulatum Müller), a major pest of arable crops

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Trends in semiochemical research highlight promising attractants and repellents for ‘push–pull’ pest control strategies of the grey field slug. Extracts from plants, predators, entomopathogenic fungi, and essential oils demonstrate potential in modifying grey field slug behaviour, inducing avoidance, antifeeding responses, or mortality, offering ...

The significance of woody vegetation's nonproductive elements for the overwintering of key biocontrol agents in intensively used agricultural areas

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Nonproduction woody vegetation provides crucial overwintering habitats for spiders, enhancing biocontrol services in agricultural landscapes. Incorporating these habitats into land management supports ecosystem services and biodiversity. Abstract BACKGROUND Successful overwintering habitats are critical for the long‐term survival of biocontrol agents ...

Preschoolers' Scientific Curiosity and Inquiry Capabilities: An Ecological Research Approach

Journal of Research in Science Teaching, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Existing tools for measuring scientific curiosity often fail to capture its multifaceted, dynamic nature—particularly in early childhood, where behaviors are context‐dependent, non‐verbal, and emergent. These challenges limit our ability to understand and support young children's scientific engagement.

Land use/land cover change, physico-chemical parameters and freshwater snails in Yewa North, Southwestern Nigeria.

PLoS ONE, 2021
The management of ecosystem has been a major contributor to the control of diseases that are transmitted by snail intermediate hosts. The ability of freshwater snails to self-fertilize, giving rise to thousands of hatchlings, enables them to contribute ...

Cryptic diversity in a chirally variable land snail [PDF]

Italian Journal of Zoology, 2016
Jaminia quadridens (Mollusca: Gastropoda: Heterobranchia: Pulmonata: Stylommatophora: Enidae) is a land snail living up to 2400 m above sea level on calcareous meadow slopes. It is widely distributed in Central and Southern Europe, with two subspecies currently recognised (J. quadridens quadridens and J. quadridens elongata).

A reappraisal of the Middle to Later Stone Age prehistory of Morocco Réévaluer la préhistoire du Maroc, du Middle Stone Age au Later Stone Age

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Over the last 25 years, perceptions of the early prehistory of Northwest Africa have undergone radical changes due to new fieldwork projects and a corresponding growth in scientific interest in the region. Much of this work has been focused in Morocco, known for its extremely rich fossil and archaeological records in caves and rock shelters.

A land snail's view of a fragmented landscape [PDF]

Biological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2009
Habitat fragmentation may influence the genetic structure of populations, especially of species with low mobility. So far, these effects have been mainly studied by surveying neutral markers, and much less by looking at ecologically relevant characters.

URBAN AGRICULTURE AS A PLATFORM OF EVERYDAY GOVERNANCE: Case Studies of Policy and Practice in Three South Korean Community Gardens

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract In South Korea, urban agriculture (UA) was formalized through national legislation in 2011 and has since become widespread in cities across the country. More than ten years after the passage of the Act on Development and Support of Urban Agriculture, there is still little research examining the sociopolitical context in which UA is practiced ...
