Evaluating Kinship Estimation Methods for Reduced‐Representation SNP Data in Non‐model Species

open access: yesMolecular Ecology Resources, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Accurate kinship estimation between close relatives is crucial in conservation and restoration but remains challenging in wild populations due to structure and inbreeding. The efficacy of kinship inference using reduced‐representation sequencing data (e.g., DArTseq, RADseq) is also uncertain.

Addenda and omissions to the catalogue and checklist of the Cerambycidae and Disteniidae (Coleoptera) of the Western hemisphere [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
The Catalogue (Monne, 1993-1994) and Checklist (Monne and Giesbert, 1995) of the Cerambycidae and Disteniidae of the Western Hemisphere represents a necessary, and valuable tool since recompilation of Blackwelder (1946) was made. Species with references (

Robust passive sampling of airborne environmental DNA to monitor plants and animals

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Airborne environmental DNA (eDNA) is a rich resource for understanding biodiversity, but its wider application is hindered by its complex collection methods and unknown sampling time effects. To develop a passive sampling scheme that is effective and convenient, we systematically compared the performance of an array of materials, namely common

Semi‐tilling maintains the arthropod food web structure but decreases biological pest control in olive groves

open access: yesAnnals of Applied Biology, EarlyView.
Semi‐tillage, a widely used agricultural method to improve water availability and minimise soil erosion in crops, may compromise pest control in olive groves. Stable isotopes (N15 and C13) analysis showed an effect of semi‐tillage in the composition of the basal resources of potential natural enemies in the three olive grove strata: These changes may ...

Pheromone stereochemical specificity in the biology of the bean beetle Acanthoscelides obtectus

open access: yesAgricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Abstract The dried bean beetle, Acanthoscelides obtectus, is a serious pest of legume crops, particularly Phaseolus vulgaris beans, and its management is challenging due to the beetle's cryptic larval stage. The major male‐produced pheromone of A. obtectus is methyl (E,R)‐2,4,5‐tetradecatrienoate, crucial for female attraction, with the (S)‐enantiomer ...

Potential of alternative control of leaf‐cutting ants using essential oils: A systematic review

open access: yesAgricultural 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
