Flowering phenology of herbarium specimens reveals century‐scale shifts in allergenic pollen seasonality

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Pollen allergies are a primary cause of seasonal allergic rhinitis, which affects over 500 million people globally, damaging quality of life and incurring significant costs in medical treatment and reduced work productivity. Many countries monitor pollen to inform allergy sufferers about seasonal pollen levels.

The potential global distribution of Drosophila suzukii, including consideration of irrigation and Australian host cropping areas

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
This CLIMEX model of Drosophila suzukii fits the global distribution very well and includes irrigation effects. It indicates that D. suzukii could threaten all Australian berry and cherry production areas if introduced. Abstract BACKGROUND Spotted wing drosophila, Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura), is a major fruit fly pest of cherries and berries across ...

Faunivores are active longer than herbivores across the daily cycle in a Neotropical savanna–forest mammal community

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Daily activity budgets reflect how animals balance internal physiological demands with external environmental pressures. We analyzed 14 037 camera‐trap records from 12 mammal species in the Venezuelan Llanos to evaluate the effects of foraging strategy (faunivore versus herbivore), season, and body mass on daily activity duration, to describe diel ...
