Intestinal bacterium Bacillus siamensis M54 from Allomyrina dichotoma is a potential biocontrol agent against maize stalk rot

Biological Control
Maize stalk rot, caused by Fusarium spp., is a significant disease that adversely impacts the yield and quality of corn. Biological control plays a crucial role in managing numerous crop diseases, including maize stalk rot.

New record of the genus Toxares Haliday (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Aphidiinae) from Korea

Journal of Asia-Pacific Biodiversity, 2017
The genus Toxares (Braconidae: Aphidiinae) is reported for the first time in Korea. Toxares deltiger (Haliday, 1833) is found as new to Korea. It has a wide host range causing it to be useful as a natural enemy for 31 aphid species within Aphididae ...

Identifying knowledge barriers to agroforestry adoption and co‐designing solutions to them

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Compared to monocultures, agroforestry can promote biodiversity, ecosystem functioning and climate resilience, whilst maintaining or enhancing production and profits. Despite this, uptake in temperate regions remains low. Knowledge gaps amongst land managers are a primary barrier to uptake, but little is known about which aspects of ...

No aliens allowed: A narrative analysis of the blue crab (Callinectes sapidus) in the Lagoon of Venice (Northern Adriatic, Italy)

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract This study critically analyses the main narratives surrounding the Atlantic blue crab (Callinectes sapidus) in the Lagoon of Venice. We used a mixed‐method approach, performing a qualitative discourse analysis on a sample of 68 textual sources to identify the narratives across two sectors in the management of the case study: media and politics,

Micro-biological degradation and transformation of dissolved organic matter following continuous cropping of tobacco

Frontiers in Microbiology
In recent years, the problems associated with continuous cropping (CC) that cause soil degradation have become increasingly serious. As a key soil quality property, dissolved organic matter (DOM) affects the circulation of carbon and nutrients and the ...

From awe to action? An interdisciplinary, systematic review of awe's potential influence on pro‐environmental behaviour

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Addressing climate change requires a massive shift towards pro‐environmental behaviour. These behaviours help protect the environment, drive conservation activities, support environment policies and increase sustainability across many avenues and sectors.

Cultivating biophilia: Domestic gardens foster positive emotions towards wildlife, with gardening influence shaped by species' ecological functions

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Understanding how different types of nature interactions influence emotional responses to animal species is especially important in the context of the biodiversity crisis, as these emotions can shape conservation‐related attitudes and behaviours. Gardening is recognised as one such interaction, although its influence likely depends on the type

Combined effects of canola plant density and insecticide management strategies on flea beetle abundance, canola defoliation, and yield across the Canadian prairies

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Increasing canola plant density reduced flea beetle abundance per plant and increased yield, independent of region or insecticide use, highlighting its potential as a component of integrated pest management. Abstract The crucifer flea beetle, Phyllotreta cruciferae (Goeze), and the striped flea beetle, Phyllotreta striolata (Fabricius) (Coleoptera ...

SYN‐A, a naturally derived synergist, restores pyrethroid efficacy against cabbage stem flea beetle but negatively impacts its parasitoid Microctonus brassicae

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
SYN‐A, a naturally derived synergist, inhibited key metabolic pathways associated with pyrethroid insecticide resistance in cabbage stem flea beetle (CSFB) and its parasitoid Microctonus brassicae. SYN‐A restored pyrethroid efficacy against resistant CSFB allowing up to 80% reduction in application rates.

Effects of bioinsecticide exposure route on aphids and their natural enemies in oilseed rape

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Fatty acids, silicone polymers and surfactants reduced aphid numbers but caused natural enemy mortality under direct exposure, while minimal residual activity suggests potential for targeted, compatible use in integrated pest management. Abstract BACKGROUND Myzus persicae Sulzer and Brevicoryne brassicae L.
