The functional role of ants in no‐till cropping systems
Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Ants provide valuable ecosystem services in tropical agriculture, but their roles in temperate row crops remain poorly understood. Conservation practices such as no‐till farming and cover cropping support ant communities that contribute to pest suppression, weed seed removal, and soil quality, which can increase crop productivity.

The continuing significance of chiral agrochemicals
Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 4, Page 1697-1716, April 2025.In the time frame 2018–2023, around 43% of the 35 chiral agrochemicals introduced to the market (herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, acaricides, and nematicides) contain one or more stereogenic centers in the molecule, and almost 69% of them have been marketed as racemic mixtures of enantiomers or stereoisomers.

Just Transition in Europe: A Regional Analysis of Environmental Inequality
Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The European Green Deal and the just‐transition agenda promise that no person and no place will be left behind, yet the regional distribution of multi‐impact, emission‐based environmental burdens remains insufficiently understood across Europe.

Impact of Environmental Microparticles on Insect Olfaction
Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Terrestrial insects underpin key ecosystem services, including pollination, herbivory regulation, decomposition, nutrient cycling, and disease control. These functions depend on chemical communication that guides insects to food, mates, hosts, shelters, and oviposition sites while helping them avoid threats.

Fuzzy modeling of reoccupation of a leaf-cutting ants’ trail
TEMA (São Carlos), 2015 In this paper we model the reoccupation of a trail by leaf-cutting ants.<br />The mathematical modeling consists in studying the leaf-cutting ants’ displacement<br />towards an attraction area and their return to the nest. To carry out this research,<br />we utilized the diffusion-advection equation, where the dispersion and velocity ...

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Environmental heterogeneity generates taxonomic and functional beta diversity, but a key question regards whether heterogeneity can maintain functional diversity when global change causes range shifts, potentially causing biotic homogenization by favouring species ...

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.This study reveals how long‐term activation of jasmonic and salicylic acid signalling reshapes arthropod communities and plant fitness across seasons. By showing that induced defences generate contrasting outcomes and cascading trade‐offs across trophic levels, it challenges the assumption that induced resistance is uniformly beneficial in natural ...
