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

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

Can plant–natural enemy communication withstand disruption by biotic and abiotic factors? [PDF]
, 2016 1. The attraction of natural enemies towards herbivore-induced plant volatiles is a well-documented phenomenon. However, the majority of published studies are carried under optimal water and nutrient regimes and with just one herbivore.

Modelling the phenology of the grapevine leafhopper Erasmoneura vulnerata
Pest Management Science, EarlyView.This study developed and validated a phenological population dynamics model for Erasmoneura vulnerata, integrating field monitoring and literature data to reproduce observed seasonal patterns across multiple sites. Abstract BACKGROUND Erasmoneura vulnerata (Fitch) (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) is an invasive Nearctic leafhopper that has become a pest of ...

Take flight: predation risk induces wing polyphenism and dispersal in the aphid Myzus persicae
Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Predator risk above a critical density induces winged morphs in Myzus persicae, promoting dispersal and reducing predation compared with wingless aphids. This density‐dependent phenotypic plasticity enhances survival but may compromise biological control by facilitating aphid dispersal.
