Field evaluation of synthetic aphid sex pheromone in enhancing suppression of aphid abundance by their natural enemies [PDF]

, 2016
The effects of lures containing aphid sex pheromone components (4aS,7S,7aR)-nepetalactone and (1R,4aS,7S,7aR)-nepetalactol on abundance of pea aphid, Acyrthosiphon pisum Harris, aphid parasitoids, predators and hyperparasitoids in alfalfa fields were ...

Unpacking the task of synthesis when weaving knowledge systems for biodiversity assessments

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract The pivot towards evidence‐based conservation since 2000 has inspired global environmental assessments to gather evidence across multiple knowledge systems, including through co‐production with Indigenous Peoples and local communities. Knowledge co‐production is highlighted as a strategy for transformative change towards a just future that ...

Towards more reliable interdisciplinary modelling of global human–environment dynamics driving biodiversity change

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Environmental problems are typically vast, urgent and complex. Confronted with such problems, we are often tempted to act fast by pulling together little bits and pieces from different fields and simply adding these to pre‐existing models and frameworks.

Rethinking intensification: Biodiversity‐inclusive management sustains coconut yields

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Coconut palm expansion in West Africa will shape rural livelihoods and ecosystems. Our findings show that intensive practices reduce beneficial soil fungi and increase pathogens, threatening long‐term productivity. Lower‐intensity management that retains ground vegetation can sustain or boost yields while improving soil health.

A Guide to Scale Insect Identification

EDIS, 2018
Control of scale insects in Florida citrus utilizes native and introduced exotic natural enemies, including predators, parasites, and pathogens. Under most conditions, predators and parasites suppress scale pest populations to a level where chemical ...

A Model of Natural Enemies of the Main Pest Hypothenemus Hampei in People's Coffee Plantations in the Lake Toba Area [PDF]

The increase in coffee plantation area in the Lake Toba area is dominated by 96% of smallholder plantations. The coffee productivity value is relatively low, which is 810 kg/ha/year compared to the productivity that should reach 2000 kg/ha/year.

Using art history to explore society's changing connections with agriculture

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Food insecurity is a looming challenge that especially affects those least fortunate. Consumer food choices have a substantial impact on the sustainability of current food systems. Here, we use art as a lens through which to consider our contemporary and historical relationship to one of the world's most crucial crops, the potato, in the context of the

On the risk of extinction of a wild plant species through spillover of a biological control agent: analysis of an ecosystem compartment model [PDF]

, 2008
Invasive plant species can be controlled by introducing one or more of their natural enemies (herbivores) from their native range; however such introduction entails the risk that the introduced natural enemy will attack indigenous plant species in the ...

Increased utilitarian value of invasive species in regions with long invasion history may limit public engagement for invasion control

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Positive perceptions of invasive species can hinder effective management, especially if management efforts that are rooted in scientific theories are misaligned with local ecological knowledge. We documented local ecological knowledge about land invasibility as predicted by invasion biology theories. Participants with greater local ecological knowledge
